Hi,

Can I use 5Ghz with the Banana Pi R64 if so how?

Thanks,

Aaron

you need to add a 5ghz wifi card.

The one recommended by sinovoip is a mt7615 4x4 card,

any brand using this chip will work.

others might work, but beware of the power constraints on the pcie slots. they are pretty limited.

Ah ok! wasn’t sure if it was on the board by default or not. Thanks.

Edit:

Just looked the current specs of my boards wireless and it is a “MediaTek MT7622 802.11 bgn”

Edit 2:

This is the board I am talking about equipped with the metal case pictured on the site: https://wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-R64#Hardware_Revision
