[BPI-R4] Using it with WIFI 6

So I’m tring to decide for a router for my new home and thinking between this and flint 2. Is this fully stable? I heard that the WIFI 7 is not stable yet and has issues.

If so, what WIFI6 card does this support so I can buy it?

Kind Regards

What you should understand is that you are interested in a development board.

Right now, for R4 exists only snapshots: https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=SNAPSHOT&target=mediatek%2Ffilogic&id=bananapi_bpi-r4

Here you will find the information on the WLAN 6 board for R4:

We have much chats about R4. You just have to look for it:

You can also look at openwrt forum:

And I want to add, because those are snapshot builds, there currently is another issue. Openwrt changed their package manager from opkg to apk this week which lead to a series of bugs and issues with the snapshot builds.

So unless you are tech savvy and have some programming skills, this will be hard to work with for the next weeks.

You can consider BPI-R3, there is a stable version of OpenWRT and the board has a built-in WiFi chip. BPI-R4 is for fun, not for production.
