Presale: Banana Pi BPI-R4 Pro , design with Mediatek MT7988A, 8G RAM 8G eMMC, 4x2.5G and 2x10G network port

The Banana Pi open-source community series of router development boards have sparked a craze in the open-source community since their release. Particularly, the BPI-R4, the router with the strongest configuration in history, has been selling well for nearly three years and has received full support from the Openwrt open-source community. Based on this, and in response to various suggestions from community developers, the BPI-R4 Pro was born. The Banana Pi BPI-R4 Pro router board is designed with a MediaTek MT7988A (Filogic 880) quad-core ARM Cortex-A73, featuring 8GB DDR4 RAM, 8GB eMMC, and 128MB SPI-NAND flash memory. It supports four 2.5G Ethernet ports, two 10G optical-electrical ports, and 4G/5G expansion. It also provides a rich array of peripheral interfaces, allowing users to develop a wide range of network applications on it.

The first batch of small-scale products will be available at the end of October. Pre-sales are now open to the community. Please purchase from the official store. Users will receive the development boards at the end of October.

From the product photos in the online store, it looks like there is no CPU heatsink with fan and no case, right?

And also shielding of the board.

I’m new here but I’m interested in the board. Do the 10GbE WAN and LAN ports auto negotiate to 5G/2.5G/1G? Does this board already include tri-band WiFi7 or do I need to purchase a WiFi7 module? If I purchase 2 units, will it have the ability to create a mesh network for the 2.4G/5G/6G, and guest networks? Is there a case, heatsink, power brick, and antenna set also available for purchase?

Hi,

  1. 10G PHY uses AS21010P, which supports these speeds.

  1. This is just the motherboard, not including the Wi-Fi 7 module. You can buy it separately if you need it.

BPI-BE14 Supports 2.4G/5G/6G, but mesh and guest networks may require SDK modification.
