BPI-R4 WiFi range

Banana Pi Router design BPI-R4/BPI-R4 Pro(MT7988)

Ok, so I can confirm that with

  • the plastic enclosure installed
  • replacing that thin low-grade pigtailes by RG178-pigtailes, that are routed away from the mPCIe-connectors
  • populating the unused SFP cage with a random module (the cheapest I could get were 2,5€ each)
  • reducing bandwidth from 160MHz to 80MHz (in BE-mode)

I get a really satisfying throughput (/higher usable coverage) for the floor I installed this device for. Thanks a lot for your help!

Insert a (not used) SFP increases you wifi range (rx level on client/reduce noise)?

Doesn’t for me, doesn’t do anything at all tbh

I precised my feedback.

It reduces noise for me by 1-2dBi.
