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

- Case, heatsink, fan, power brick, and antenna will all be sold simultaneously.
You can find out the detailed specifications of BPI-R4Pro here in advance

Thank you very much for the detailed response. I think I will wait for the complete set to be available.
Still wondering till this day what is the goal of many pcie slots? Storage? M.2 5g modules??
Is this on offer together with the pre-order/pre-sales of the board? I can’t find case, heatsink, fan in the shop for the BPI-R4 Pro.

yeah i don’t think they’re available yet. This is stopping me from pre-ordering as with just the board, it’s practically unusable without these.

Still no case, Fan, heat sinks available? I have ordered my Board, but it would really help people to make this stuff available.

As far as I understand, you bought the bare board, and it looks like on the presale photo, right? → No offense intended!
If you watched the release of the taller BPI-R4 case, you could imagine how long it will take until everything is available and in a really working condition (software and hardware)! 
I’m already happy that they even sell this:
So “still” is not justified. Maybe it is your first banana pi board … and yes it is an exiting piece of hardware. But I wished you have waited for the first reviews on software and hardware and also for a more compleate package … 
Despite from that, did you ever thing about elctromagnetic shielding (front and backsite)?
For me this is not such a big issue. I can just open a drawer and pick up a heat sink that fit. Same with a fan. And with respect to shielding, chopper foil will do. In the past on some wood, today I just use a 3D Printer to generate a box.
However, all of this is needed even for developers and not everyone has an HW background.
That is right … I want everyone who expects a router to work “out of the box” to know that this board will only do that in a best-case scenario. It seems you’re not one of those people.
Okay, have fun! Maybe you can measure the power consumption without any peripherals?

Does it have shielding installed? Or is it another bare board?
Yup, I can confirm the heatsinks are on.
