Review: 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: 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***N on 24 December 2024*

Order fulfilled fast, complete and in good shape. Even had one TTL to USB converter in the box that was really nice and handy. Keep in mind, this is a router development board, not a ready and out of the box router solution for daily use. Firmwares might be unstable and closed-source.
