Banana Pi BPI-R4 with Official OpenWrt 25 Firmware – 10GbE and WiFi 7 MLO Performance Testing
The Banana Pi BPI-R4 is one of the most interesting networking platforms currently supported by OpenWrt. Powered by the MediaTek MT7988A quad-core Cortex-A73 processor, dual 10GbE SFP+ ports, and optional WiFi 7 expansion modules, it offers impressive hardware specifications at a relatively affordable price.

In this article, I installed the latest official OpenWrt 25 release on the BPI-R4 and evaluated its wired and wireless performance. The goal was to compare the experience with the stock firmware and identify any issues that users may encounter when deploying OpenWrt on this platform.

Test Setup

For this evaluation, I used the following hardware:

Router
- Banana Pi BPI-R4
- BPI-R4-NIC-BE14 WiFi 7 module
Client Device
- Windows 11 PC
- Intel BE200 WiFi 7 adapter
- Mellanox ConnectX-3 10GbE network card
Network Infrastructure
- 10 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
- Linux server running OpenSpeedTest and iperf3
The router was flashed with the latest official OpenWrt 25 image using Rufus and booted directly from a microSD card.

After the initial boot, I configured a root password, disabled automatic firmware checking, and assigned the WAN interface to the SFP-WAN port while keeping the SFP-LAN port connected to the LAN network.

For all routing tests, Packet Steering was enabled with 128 steering flows and Software Offloading remained disabled.

WAN-to-LAN Performance Testing

One of the most important capabilities of the BPI-R4 is its dual 10GbE connectivity. Naturally, this was the first area I wanted to test.

The test setup was straightforward:

Linux Server → 10GbE Switch → SFP-WAN → BPI-R4 → SFP-LAN → PC

CPU utilization was monitored using btop while throughput measurements were performed with iperf3.

First Test: 4 Parallel Streams

Running iperf3 with four parallel streams resulted in approximately 3.48 Gbps throughput.

While this result is not terrible, what immediately caught my attention was CPU utilization. Almost all traffic processing was handled by Core 0, while the remaining three cores remained mostly idle.

Considering Packet Steering was enabled, I expected the workload to be distributed more evenly across all CPU cores.

Second Test: 16 Parallel Streams

Increasing the number of streams to sixteen surprisingly reduced performance.

Throughput dropped to approximately 2.74 Gbps, while Core 0 remained fully loaded.

The remaining CPU cores showed only minimal activity, typically between 10% and 15%.

Alternative LAN Configuration

I also tested a simplified LAN setup by assigning the LAN network directly to the SFP-LAN interface instead of using the default bridge configuration.

Unfortunately, the results remained largely unchanged, fluctuating between 2.5 and 2.75 Gbps.

Comparison with Stock Firmware

These numbers became even more interesting when compared with my previous testing using the factory firmware supplied by Banana Pi.

Using the same hardware setup, the stock firmware achieved approximately 9.16 Gbps WAN-to-LAN throughput.

This suggests that either OpenWrt 25 is currently missing some optimizations, or there may be an issue with packet steering, driver behavior, or hardware acceleration.

At this stage, I do not have a definitive answer, but it is certainly an area worth further investigation.

WiFi 7 Testing

For wireless testing, I installed the BPI-R4-NIC-BE14 module and connected using an Intel BE200 WiFi 7 adapter running the latest available driver.

The client PC was positioned approximately one meter away from the access point with direct line of sight.

Initial Problem: WiFi Not Working

After installing OpenWrt 25, the MT7966E chipset was detected correctly and all three radios appeared in LuCI.

However, I quickly discovered that none of the configured SSIDs would start.

I tested multiple configurations:
- WiFi 7 (BE)
- WiFi 6 (AX)
- WiFi 5 (AC)
- WPA2 and WPA3 security
- Different channels and bandwidth settings
Nothing worked.

The maximum transmit power was limited to only 7 dBm, which immediately suggested something was wrong.

Fortunately, this issue is already known within the OpenWrt community.

After applying the recommended Device Tree Overlay workaround and rebooting the router, transmit power returned to normal levels and wireless functionality was restored.

WiFi 7 Performance on 6 GHz

160 MHz Channel Width

The first test used:
- 6 GHz band
- Channel 37
- 160 MHz bandwidth
- WPA3-SAE security
Windows reported a link speed of approximately 2882 Mbps.

Running OpenSpeedTest produced excellent results:
- Download: approximately 1782 Mbps
- Upload: approximately 1849 Mbps
Multiple test runs produced very similar results.

Interestingly, iperf3 throughput was slightly lower, reaching around 1.6 Gbps with eight parallel streams.

320 MHz Channel Width

Next, I increased the bandwidth to 320 MHz.

Windows immediately reported much higher link rates, reaching 5.1 Gbps receive and 3.6 Gbps transmit.

Unfortunately, real-world performance told a different story.

OpenSpeedTest results dropped dramatically:
- Download: approximately 774 Mbps
- Upload: approximately 897 Mbps
iperf3 results were similarly disappointing.

At least in my test environment, 320 MHz operation performed significantly worse than 160 MHz.

WiFi 7 Performance on 5 GHz

Moving to the 5 GHz band, I configured:
- Channel 60
- 160 MHz bandwidth
- WiFi 7 mode
The results were very impressive.

OpenSpeedTest consistently delivered:
- Download: approximately 1.6 Gbps
- Upload: approximately 1.7 Gbps
Compared to the 6 GHz results, the difference was only around 100 to 150 Mbps.

I also attempted to use 320 MHz bandwidth on 5 GHz, but the SSID completely disappeared from client devices. This may be related to regulatory limitations or DFS restrictions.

WiFi 7 Performance on 2.4 GHz

Testing the 2.4 GHz radio in WiFi 7 mode produced more modest but still respectable results.

Using a 40 MHz channel width, OpenSpeedTest achieved:
- Download: approximately 205 Mbps
- Upload: approximately 125 Mbps
Considering how crowded the 2.4 GHz spectrum typically is, these results are perfectly acceptable.

Testing Multi-Link Operation (MLO)

One of the headline features of WiFi 7 is Multi-Link Operation (MLO), which allows multiple radios to work together under a single connection.

OpenWrt 25 includes early support for this feature, so naturally I wanted to test it.

First Attempt

My initial configuration combined:
- 5 GHz @ 160 MHz
- 6 GHz @ 320 MHz
The MLO SSID was visible and clients could connect.

However, diagnostic information showed that only the 5 GHz radio was actually participating in the MLO group.

Second Attempt

After reducing the 6 GHz radio to 160 MHz, MLO started working correctly.

Both radios appeared active and Windows reported simultaneous connectivity on both frequency bands.

The reported link speed was approximately 2882 Mbps / 2882 Mbps.

MLO Performance Results

OpenSpeedTest produced:
- Download: approximately 1.8 Gbps
- Upload: approximately 2.0 Gbps
iperf3 achieved:
- Up to 1.87 Gbps in the forward direction
- Around 1.5 Gbps in reverse mode
These were the best wireless results recorded during all testing.

MLO Stability Issues

Although MLO was functional, I did encounter stability problems.

After approximately 10 to 15 minutes of operation, the client would lose connectivity to the router.

The WiFi connection remained associated, but traffic stopped flowing and the gateway could no longer be reached.

The only reliable solution was disabling and re-enabling WiFi on the client device.

Whether this issue originates from OpenWrt, the MediaTek driver, Intel’s BE200 driver, or my own configuration remains unclear.

Further testing will be required.

Final Thoughts

Based on my initial testing, OpenWrt 25 on the Banana Pi BPI-R4 is already very usable, but there are still several rough edges.

The WiFi 7 implementation is surprisingly capable, especially when operating at 160 MHz on both 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. MLO support is also promising, although stability improvements are clearly needed.

The biggest concern at the moment is wired routing performance. Achieving only around 2.5–3.5 Gbps when the stock firmware can exceed 9 Gbps suggests there is still work to be done somewhere in the software stack.

Nevertheless, the BPI-R4 remains one of the most exciting OpenWrt platforms currently available, and I expect performance and stability to improve significantly as OpenWrt development continues.

If you are running OpenWrt 25 on a BPI-R4 and have achieved better results, feel free to share your configuration and findings. I would be very interested to compare notes and continue investigating these issues.

Install OpenWrt 23 Snapshot Firmware on Banana Pi BPI R2 PRO
This is a quick guide to install OpenWrt 23 snapshot firmware on your BPI R2 Pro (to the internal eMMC). This firmware had been pre-installed with LuCI and some packages. Here is the screenshot on Sep 2, 2023.

LuCI homepage overview. Linux kernel is 6.1.50

Network Interfaces overview. PPPoE connection is up and running

Speedtest & CPU usage overview

Currently, OpenWrt 21 firmware built by Banana Pi is out of date and there are some problems with DSA (i.e VLAN is not working). Thus, I will use OpenWrt builds from mj22226
1. Download this bpi-r2-pro-sd-to-emmc-flash.img.gz and burn it to a 16GB microSD card, using Rufus or your preferred application.
2. Insert the microSD to the BPI R2 PRO, press & hold the MASKROOM button while connecting the Power cable. The BPI R2 PRO should boot up OpenWrt
3. Login to LuCI. Under System -> Custom Command, press Run button to to flash the firmware to the internal eMMC.
4. If you receive error message such as “no space left on /dev/emmc…”, you can try to boot up OpenWrt on the SD card again (step 2). If it still failed, try to install OpenWrt firmware to the eMMC using the USB cable & RockChip DevTool
5. Once OpenWrt was flashed to the eMMC, remove the power cable, remove the microSD and boot up the BPI R2 PRO.
6. Download openwrt-rockchip-armv8-rockchip_bpi-r2-pro-squashfs-sysupgrade.img.gz (or a newer release). Go to System – Backup & Flash firmware to update the BPI R2 PRO with the firmware you have downloaded.
Enjoy you BPI R2 PRO router!

Setup File Sharing (SMB) on OpenWrt with Samba4
Why I write this guide?

Well, there are 2 guides for Samba4 and Samba3 on the OpenWrt Wiki. Each of the guide is missing a “small” piece of information which makes beginner confused.

1.Storage

More information on how to setup the storage on OpenWrt available here.
- USB Disk (USB stick/ USB to SATA adapter)
```
opkg update
opkg install kmod-usb-storage
opkg install kmod-usb-storage-uas
opkg install usbutils
lsusb -t
```
- Native SATA/NVMe Disk
Usually there is no need to install driver

2. Check if device is detected
```
ls -l /dev/sd* => if using USB stick or HDD/SSD with SATA to USB adapter
ls -l /dev/nvm* => if using NVMe
```
```
opkg install block-mount
block info
```
3. Create a partition on the disk

For this video/tutorial, I use fdisk
```
opkg install fdisk
```
```
fdisk /dev/nvme0n1 (Replace by your NVMe SSD disk name)
fdisk /dev/sda1 (Replace by your USB/SSD/HDD disk name)
```
- d => Delete partition
- n => New partition
- w => Write change to disk
4. Create a file system in the partition

This guide is only for ext4 file system. If you wish to use a different file system, please see the document.
```
opkg install e2fsprogs
opkg install kmod-fs-ext4
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1      => if you are using USB Stick/HDD/SSD
mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1    => if you are using NVMe
```
5. Auto mount the partition

It is easier to mount the partition using LuCI. See my video for more information. If you wish to do it with CLI, here is the commands
```
block detect | uci import fstab

uci set fstab.@mount[-1].enabled='1'
uci commit fstab

uci set fstab.@global[0].check_fs='1'
uci commit fstab
```
6. Install Samba4
```
opkg update && opkg install luci-app-samba4
```
Afer that, configure it with the the Web-UI. The Samba4 service should be automatically restart. If it doesn’t work, you can use
```
/etc/init.d/samba restart
```
7. Configure Samba Users

The username is stored in /etc/passwd file. To modify it, use VI or Nano
```
vi /etc/passwd
```
After that, insert this example line to end of the file. It will create a new username with the below information:
```
vantc:*:1000:65534:vantc:/var:/bin/false
```
Hint: Using the same username for Samba4 (OpenWrt) and Windows will cause some problems where you need to change some setting on Local Security Policy. If possible, please use a different username for Samba4 & Windows.
- user in this example will be called ‘vantc’“ (this is the loginname you need to enter, when Windows pops up the authentication dialogue)
- with the unique system ID ‘1000’
- with the group id ‘65534’ (which is the group identifier for ‘nobody’= no special default group)
- ‘/var’ just means the user will not need a special home folder on the system
- ‘/bin/false’ means the user will not have a default shell program associated
```
smbpasswd -a vantc => Set password
```
```
service samba restart (Optional)
```
8.Troubleshoot – No Write Access
- Modifying the permissions and owner of the folder
If you are using USB stick/ HDD/ SSD
```
chmod -R 777 /mnt/sda1
chown -R nobody /mnt/sda1
```
If you are using NVMe
```
chmod -R 777 /mnt/nvme0n1
chown -R nobody /mnt/nvme0n1
```
More info: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/nas/cifs.server#cannot_write_to_a_samba_share

9. Fine-Tune & others
- Since netfilter tracks every connection, it may improve throughput to disable conntrack for Samba connections if you use NAT.
  https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/nas/cifs.server#throughput
- Remote Access
  Doable, not recommended. You better setup Wireguard VPN to access the NAS locally.
- Apple Discovery & Network Discovery
10. Enjoy your OpenWrt NAS

Have fun with your OpenWrt NAS.

Install OpenWRT on the Aruba AP-175
OpenWRT support for the AP-175 was officially available on March 26, 2023. The PR to Add OpenWRT support for Aruba AP-175 was created by Hurricos (Martin) on September 2022. Special thanks to Hurricos and all developers involved to make it happen.

Specifications
- Device: Aruba AP-175
- SoC: Atheros AR7161 680 MHz MIPS
- RAM: 128MB – 2x Mira P3S12D40ETP
- Flash: 16MB SPI NOR. Chip is vary from MXIC MX25L12845EMI-10G to Spansion S25FL128P
- WiFi: 2 x DNMA-H92 Atheros AR9220-AC1A 802.11abgn
- ETH: IC+ IP1001 Gigabit + PoE PHY
- LED: 2x int., plus 12 ext. on TCA6416 GPIO expander
- Console: CP210X linking USB-A Port to CPU console @ 115200
- RTC: DS1374C, with internal battery
- Temp: LM75 temperature sensor
Firmware
- Aruba AP-175 OpenWrt upgrade (sysupgrade)
- Custom u-Boot for AP-175, or build it from here
Installation Procedure Brief

Since stock u-Boot only allows signed kernel to boot (Aruba OS), A U-Boot replacement is required to install OpenWrt on this device.
- Use the CH314A SPI-Flasher or Raspberry Pi 4 and a 16-pin Test Clip (SOP16) to dump the SPI NOR chip
- Apply custom u-Boot for AP-175 on the SPI NOR dump
- Write the modified image to the SPI NOR chip again
- Boot up OpenWrt sysupgrade image via TFTP
Install u-Boot

Note that the stock bootloader on this device does not allow for unsigned kernels to boot, so replacing the bootloader is required for OpenWrt support on this device. The only way to do this is via directly writing to the SPI Flash. The custom U-Boot for the Aruba AP-175 can be found here. Besides, you can compile it from https://github.com/Hurricos/u-boot-ap105/tree/ap175.

To flash the SPI NOR you will need a 16-pin Test Clip (SOP16). You can use CH314A SPI-Flasher or directly wire the Raspberry Pi SBC to the SPI NOR with the test clip.

In this guide, I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, a “DIY 16-pin test clip” and flashrom application (on Raspberry Pi OS) to dump the SPI NOR.

Here is the main steps:
1. Create a full dump of the SPI Flash, and store it in a safe place
2. Erase and Clear 0x0-0x3ffff on the SPI Flash
3. Flash U-Boot to 0x0
4. Proceed to the OpenWrt Install Procedure
Detail guide for using Raspberry Pi SBC with flashrom:
- Make sure that SPI interface is enabled on Raspberry Pi OS. You can do this in raspi-config
- Make sure the AP-175 is power-off (disconnect PoE Adapter) before proceed
1. Create a full dump of the SPI Flash, and store it in a safe place

NanoPi R5S OpenWRT Performance

Right now, the NanoPi R5S performance information is widely available in Chinese. Therefore, I decided to make this post, hope it will be useful if you are looking for this piece of information.

If you have yet to watch the NanoPi R5S detailed overview in English, you can find it here.

In the video, I am using the latest FriendlyWRT released on August 3, 2022. It is a fold of OpenWRT developed by Friendlyelec.

Testing Network Diagram

I setup a 2.5 Gigiabit network connection in order to test out the potential of the NanoPi R5S. The NanoPi R5S and the test server is connected to the FastRhino R68s LAN ports.

NanoPi R5S FriendlyWRT Performance

I run the WAN to LAN test a few times and the result is different from one to another. It looks like there are stability problem that FriendlyElec team need to fix.

For Wireguard VPN and OpenVPN, the result is stable. The OpenVPN throughput is at 150Mbps and Wireguard VPN is around 610 Mbps.

Data Rate Unit: Mbps OpenSpeedTest Download OpenSpeedTest Upload iperf3
WAN to LAN 1168 883 607
WAN to LAN (SW Offloading) 1853 1338 641
OpenVPN 160 148 150
Wireguard VPN 637 610 480

Testing Video

You can watch the full video to see how I upgrade the FriendlyWRT to the latest version as well as configuring the LAN1 port as a WAN port (2.5GbE).

Feeel free to let me know what is the test you want me to do next with the NanoPi R5S!

Install OpenWRT on Xiaomi CR6608 Router
Xiaomi CR6608 is a Wi-Fi6 AX1800 Router with 4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports. The router was manufacured for local Chinese ISP: CR6606 (China Unicom), CR6608 (China Mobile), CR6609 (China Telecom).

OpenWRT support for this device was migrated into OpenWRT master on Feb 7, 2022. Special thanks to InfWang for his effort on the PR ramips: add support for Xiaomi Mi Router CR660x series

Specifications:
- SoC: MediaTek MT7621AT
- RAM: 256MB DDR3 (ESMT M15T2G16128A)
- Flash: 128MB NAND (ESMT F59L1G81MB)
- Ethernet: 1000Base-T x4 (MT7530 SoC)
- WLAN: 2×2 2.4GHz 574Mbps + 2×2 5GHz 1201Mbps (MT7905DAN + MT7975DN)
- LEDs: System (Blue, Yellow), Internet (Blue, Yellow)
- Buttons: Reset, WPS
- UART: through-hole on PCB ((VCC 3.3v)(RX)(GND)(TX) 115200, 8n1)
- Power: 12VDC, 1A
The way to install OpenWRT on the Xiaomi CR6608 is simple and doesn’t required hardware modification. However, you will need a router running OpenWRT to proceed. It is a long video, but there are only 2 main steps:
- Get SSH access to the router
- Write OpenWRT firmware with mtd
Get SSH access to Xiaomi CR6608

First thing, connect the PC to the OpenWRT router. After that, create the xqsystem.lua file in /usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/ with the below lines. Alternatively, you can create this file on your PC and upload it to the router with WinSCP.
```
module("luci.controller.admin.xqsystem", package.seeall)

function index()
      local page   = node("api")
      page.target  = firstchild()
      page.title   = ("")
      page.order   = 100
      page.index = true
      page   = node("api","xqsystem")
      page.target  = firstchild()
      page.title   = ("")
      page.order   = 100
      page.index = true
      entry({"api", "xqsystem", "token"}, call("getToken"), (""), 103, 0x08)
end

local LuciHttp = require("luci.http")

function getToken()
      local result = {}
      result["code"] = 0
      result["token"] = "; nvram set ssh_en=1; nvram commit; sed -i 's/channel=.*/channel=\"debug\"/g' /etc/init.d/dropbear; /etc/init.d/dropbear start;"
      LuciHttp.write_json(result)
end
```
To verify, you can browse
```
http://{OpenWRT-Router-IP}/cgi-bin/luci/api/xqsystem/token
```
It should give you a respond like this:
```
{"code":0,"token":"; nvram set ssh_en=1; nvram commit; …"}
```
Now, setup the wireless interface on the OpenWRT router. To make it simple, I setup the SSID on 2.4GHz radio, SSID openwrt and the password is 12345678

After that, change the IP address of the LAN (br-lan) interface to 169.254.31.1 and turn off DHCP server for this interface. Please note that, if you are changing the IP address using LuCI, you will need to set a static IP adddress for the PC to 169.254.31.3 and vist the OpenWRT router at 169.254.31.1 to confirm the changes (else, the router will revert the IP to default after 1 – 2 minutes).

Now, switch to the Xiaomi CR6608 Router

Connect to it via WiFi or Ethernet cable. After login to the Web UI, pay attention to the STOK ID which can be found on the URL
```
 http://Xiaomi-CR6608-IP/cgi-bin/luci/;stok={STOK}/web/home#router
```
We are going to use the STOK for the next 2 query.
```
http://Xiaomi-CR6608-IP/cgi-bin/luci/;stok={STOK}/api/misystem/extendwifi_connect?ssid={WiFi-SSID}&password={WiFi-Password}
```
Here is how it looks like and the response if the connection is succes.

Now, run the second command to get SSH access
```
http://Xiaomi-CR6608-IP/cgi-bin/luci/;stok={STOK}/api/xqsystem/oneclick_get_remote_token?username=xxx&password=xxx&nonce=xxx
```
At this step, you should be able to connect SSH to the router. The username is root and the password is the default password at the back of the router. (默认登录密码)

Since UART access is locked ootb, you should get UART access by modify uboot env. Otherwise, your router may become bricked.
Excute these in stock firmware shell:
```
nvram set boot_wait=on
nvram set bootdelay=3
nvram commit
```
If you don’t want to install OpenWRT now, you can safely shutdown the router and the SSH connection will be avalable. However, if you can’t wait to install OpenWRT (I think this is the reason you are reading this post, please proceed)

Install OpenWRT on Xiaomi CR6608 with mtd

We are going to need the openwrt-ramips-mt7621-xiaomi_mi-router-cr660x-squashfs-firmware.bin for the installation. Click here to download the firmware for the Xiaomi CR660x series.

If the Xiaomi CR6608 is having internet connection, you can use wget or curl command to download the firmware directly to the /tmp directory. Or, you can download it to the computer and upload it to your router with WinSCP.

After that, run these commands
```
nvram set flag_try_sys1_failed=0
nvram set flag_try_sys2_failed=1
nvram commit
```
Finnaly, executive this command to flash OpenWRT on the Xiaomi CR6608
```
mtd -r write /tmp/openwrt-squashfs-firmware.bin firmware
```
After this, the router will reboot itself and you can establish the SSH connection to it at 192.168.1.1. to install LuCI. Connect the WAN port of the CR6608 to the upstream router for internet connection and the below commands to install LuCI
```
opkg update
opkg install luci
```
Now, you should be able to reach LuCI at 192.168.1.1

Good luck and enjoy your CR660x OpenWRT router!

Install OpenWRT on Mikrotik RB2011

The RB2011 is a low cost multi port device series. It has 10 Ethernet ports: 5 Gigabit Ethernet and 5 Fast Ethernet ports. With the 600MHz AR9344 CPU, the router is only suitable for home or very-small-office where you are connecting to the Internet with PPPoE or DHCP.

In this video, I will show you how to install OpenWRT 19.07 on this Mikrotik Routerboard 2011. After that, we will have some tests to check out the device performance: WAN to LAN iperf test, OpenSpeedTest and PPPoE with VLAN speedtest. Of course software & hardware offloading tests will be conducted as well.

Due to the switch configuration bug in LuCI (for the RB2011), you won’t be able to configure VLAN with LuCI. But no worry, I will also show you how to configure VLAN tagging using the Command Line.
