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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for a home/small business router
*by K***N on October 6, 2025*

With the powerful SoC, high-speed network ports and so many expansion slots, Banana Pi R4 isn’t just a router, it has become a homelab Linux server platform. I am running a compiled version of Openwrt 24.10.2 to replace the old TPLINK-AC1900/Openwrt. Everything was so easy to configure, customize and modify. Other than some compatibility issues with different SFP modules, I have not encountered any real issue so far. And It has been stabilized for a few weeks to support 30+ devices in 4 different VLANs, VPN, a media server and more. What is also amazing is the low power consumption. It is truly a wonderful router platform for the next 5+ years with some room to expand. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to take full control of home networking.
