debian has no luci/webfrontend, afaik there is webmin or maybe something else that can be installed, but should be able to login via ssh to 192.168.1.1 on any of the 3 lan-ports
but i suggest doing first steps via uart-adapter
bpi wifi module needs 12v enabled on top of board and of course screwed 
Good evening and thank you for your reply, I have it at 12 volts and screwed in. I was showing images of how I was mounting it, but the wifi 7 module still doesn’t appear to me, I don’t have the wireless interface.
I work with Windows and I get luci in the browser.
As you can see, the wireless interface doesn’t appear to me. In all the routers I’ve worked with in OpenWRT, I always get the wireless option, but it’s not shown here.
The wireless file is empty in SSH, so I always get the interfaces as I show in this other file. other openwrt
config wifi-device ‘radio2’ option type ‘mac80211’ option path ‘platform/soc/c000000.wifi’ option channel ‘149’ option band ‘5g’ option htmode ‘HE80’ option country ‘CN’ option cell_density ‘0’ config wifi-device ‘radio3’ option type ‘mac80211’ option path ‘platform/soc/c000000.wifi+1’ option channel ‘auto’ option band ‘2g’ option htmode ‘HE20’ option disabled ‘1’ option country ‘CN’ option cell_density ‘0’
I leave you an image of the wireless file of the banana pi r4, it is empty, there are no interfaces
I leave you an image of ssh, although the wireless file is inside, it is empty, there are no interfaces
you are using any openwrt image, not my debian image…
I can enter through the LAN ports to the interface as I have shown in the image, but the wireless interface is not present in the banana, the WiFi 7 module does not appear, it is correctly placed on the board, but it is as if it does not recognize it.
I’ll give you another router that I have at home in which there is a wireless interface.
As you will see in this other router I have a wifi interface
and in your woreless file it is full, in the banana it is empty
it is as if the board does not recognize the wifi 7 module, that is why the interface does not appear, I am going to disassemble the board and put it back, that is the only thing I can think of, or can you send me the image that you have on the sd and I will save it
my image is debian, no openwrt, so configuration is different…ssh to it (not via file-browser = scp/sftp) via console toll like putty, minicom or similar and list interfaces (“ip a”)
I put it back here is the photo and it still doesn’t recognize the wifi module 7
Yes, but on putty, the same files come out as on openwrt. I get the wireless file, but it is empty. Yours will get the file full, and the data will be the same. Can you send me your wireless file?
or tell me if the debian file goes inside the sd, or where it goes and I will take care of putting it, my son uses debian and he would put it for me
If you send me your Debian image, and how to put it, my son will do it for me, I await your news
there is not “the” file…
just get a console of the bpi with my latest image (6.10) and enter the command “ip a” and show its contents…you should see 3 wlanX interfaces…
It was the image, they were not prepared for the module, I have already downloaded one and it appears
What a late night I was thinking it was broken, it was the image, now everything is ok, we are going to configure everything, thank you very much.
but I will look at the Debian thing with my son to learn how to use it

Ok, I’ll consult with my son and have him teach me how to do it.
I have saved bpi-r4_bookworm_6.11.0-rc1.img.gz , and finally it gives me these options, then I will continue, it was just for informational purposes.
Thanks for your help
oh, you have self built image? i have only uploaded image with linux 6.10
but good you have uart working and board is booting…use the default SD/EMMC option, for tftp you need a tftp server (and configure its ip and r3 ip in uboot environment).
Thank you very much for your help, for now until I have my computer next week I will not be able to compile anything by myself, I am currently using a n4000 PC with only Windows, so I can browse and nothing else.
I have chosen option 3 and inserted the 2.5 GB USB card. My problem is that I am still working under Windows, since I will not have my PC until next week, on which I have Windows and Ubuntu so I can work under Ubuntu. If I need to add Debian to my PC, I could do so without problems.
I can set up a TFTP server (and configure its IP and the IP of R3 in the Uboot environment).
and be able to continue working under Windows.
Thank you for your help
Good afternoon @frank-w, I already have an IP and I’m logged in through Putty on Windows, as I do with OpenWrt, but the files are very different from OpenWrt, could you tell me where the network interface and the WiFi interface are, and in what path to edit them manually.
And there is no package that can be downloaded to bring up a web page where the visual changes can be seen as there is in OpenWrt.
I’ll put a photo of the files on the right.
In openwrt the path is etc/config
Is there any small guide on where to change the configuration files in debian?
Debian uses systemd-networkd for network config
Config files are in /etc/systemd/network and *.network files containing ip settings…i defined wan with dhcp and lanbr0 (bridge for all lan-ports) with 192.168.1.1/24
After changing the config use
systemctl restart systemd-networkd
Thank you very much for the clarification, we will make changes to the files, to see if at least I have internet, since currently with the files that are there, I don’t have it
A little configuration on your part, could you help me if you put a configuration of the entire WAN network, to be able to access the internet.
Thank you for your help
You should be able to have Internet if you connect wan-port to lan of your existing router…except you use same subnet (192.168.1.0/24) on existing lan,then change subnet in lanbr network file and restart
Good evening, I don’t use the same mask, with openwrt I do have it, but with debian I don’t, in both cases the openwrt ip is the same as the debian one, I just need to restart the router, which is the only thing I didn’t do, tomorrow I will try it in case I don’t have internet I will record another image since this was the one that was prepared for the usb 2.5 to give internet through said card, but I put the wan, tabto on the 1 gb, on the sfp rj45 and on the usb, but I never restarted the banana,
tomorrow I will tell you
