Review: BPI-R4 is currently the best SBC for WiFi access points or utilizing PCIe accessories - It took a bit for the driver development for the BPI-R4-NIC-BE14/MT7996 card to be stable in mainline-bound Linux kernel, but it is officially the best WiFi access point now (and will be even better once the BPI-R4-NIC-BE19/14 antenna + 4x radio WiFi module is released). Great as standalone access points (running Ubuntu 24.04/hostapd off the SSD, for LTS+unattended-upgrades), and even better as wireless bridges - I was able to replace/augment my previous MoCA 2.5Gbit setup by using 2x BPI-R4 (one as AP + other as client/bridge for satellite room connectivity as a switch). Review: Excellent multi-purpose router - The BPI-R4 is an excellent router for both home and office use. Wi-Fi, WPA3 Enterprise and WireGuard work well with the official OpenWRT. Recently it is also supported by the latest OpenWRT release in addition to the snapshots. It can also be used as a router + Wi-Fi access point + VPN client for branch offices, all in a single device. All the necessary equipment were included in the box, including an EU power adapter and a USB serial adapter. It also supports 5G when a 5G modem is added. ## Features - [MediaTek MT7988A Processor] Banana Pi BPI-R4 Router Card with MediaTek MT7988A (Filogic 880) Quad-Core ARM Corex-A73, 4GB DDR4 RAM 8GB eMMC and 128MB SPI-NAND Flash, Works as Access Point/Router/WiFi Gateway 7 3 6 6Gbps ay It is also a powerful open source router development board. - High Performance Chips: The MediaTek MT7988A SoC is the world's first network processing platform that delivers a powerful and reliable networking experience for wired and wireless applications.
