Review: High quality WiFi 7 AP setup with incredible value for money, ideal for tinkering and research - I purchased this BPI-R4 with Mediatek MT7988A card because it supports WiFi 7 and 10GbE SFP fast links. Plus it support OpenWrt. This makes it an ideal platform for research experiments in high-speed network processing. The MT7988A is supported by OpenWrt, so it's easy to make custom builds. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product, its packaging, and how it was so easy to put it together. The package includes *everything* you need to build a WiFi access point, including the serial adapter dongle, cables, fan, heat sinks, antennas. You don't really need an SD card like you do for a Raspberry Pi. The hardware was up and running within an hour, and I tested is using an SD card that I had lying around (you don't really need it) with a default OpenWrt downloaded from the Firmware Selector. I was able to first build a basic WiFi7 AP, and then with a 6GHz band enabled with a few tweaks. The Banana Pi documentation and forum was extremely helpful when I got stuck, and I was able to resolve issues (mostly w/ software) with help from customer support and the technical forums. I found it much more helpful than some of the Raspberry Pi forums. The device is compact, so you can put it almost anywhere, even with the antennas attached. I now have a WiFi7 AP at home that supports 6 GHz bands at the fraction of the cost of such routers available in the market. It offers incredible value for money. In fact, I use two for research purposes. I highly recommend it!
Review: Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Module for BPI-R4 - I’ve been using this NIC module with the BPI-R4 for several months. Setup with OpenWRT was straightforward, and the module delivers reliable performance. The 6-antenna design provides strong signal strength and good coverage across multiple rooms. I see noticeable speed improvements on the 6 GHz band, especially when streaming and transferring large files. The module handles mixed device types and frequencies well, whether it’s phones, laptops, or IoT devices. Power consumption is higher than typical consumer routers, so it runs warm under load and draws more power, but that’s expected given the performance class. It's a little expensive, but the performance and future-proofing Wi-Fi 7 support make it worthwhile if you need the throughput.
