BPI-R4 WIFI 7 Router Kit - Assembled

Banana Pi Router design
1

Selling an assembled R4 complete router. Includes WIFI7 modules, antenna, fan, and power supply. OpenWRT can be used right out of the box.

However, one thing is that the antenna is not easy to install. :pensive:

Interested? There are tons of 4G RAM in stock in Europe and the US, and a few in China.

IMO the case is broken by design. There are several issues with it:

  • Overheating SoC
  • Overheating SFP+ (when using a rj45 module)
  • High noise because no EMI shielding

For the first problem, i would recommend something like [BPI-R4] Replacing sinovoip FAN from heatsink - #44 by oli - its a simple perforated aluminium metal piece: Aluminium Lochblech, Stärke 1,0 mm, Rundloch ø 3 mm, Rv 3-5 ✏️

For the second problem, there are available heat sinks available which can be cooled with an extra fan, like this: [BPI-R4] Replacing sinovoip FAN from heatsink - #22 by oli - if the fan can run at 3.3v, you could use the gpio pins (like i did), then it runs all the time but very silent.

For the high noise there is no real solution yet afaik, at the moment i have -76db which is absolutely terrible, even with “good” cables (wifi chip ↔ antenna)
