I bought the router Banana Pi R2 PRO and installed OpenWRT (Linux OpenWrt 6.6.43 #0 SMP Sat Jul 27). Im testing it using open speedtest server installed on the router (docker), and getting very poor download performance , around 20Mbps over 1Gbit ethernet. What is strange the upload speed is normal around 900Mbps. Ive enabled Software flow offloading in Firewall setting, but it does not help much. Is there anything more I need to do to fix the performance issues?
Hi 👋 I have a NanoPi R5C.. when the device is turned off, it loses the correct time.. and I have to correct the time manually..how can I maintain the original time.. even though the RTC battery is connected
Hi, this BPI-R2-PRO is suitable for 1Gbps internet connection. - RB750Gr3 can handle 1Gbps, but you need fasttrack (and no SQM). - From what I have tested, Linksys WRT1900, Belkin RT3200 can handle 1Gbps without problem. If you are interested, you can check out some products on my store shopee.vn/M%E1%BA%A1ch-ph%C3%A1t-tri%E1%BB%83n-Router-Banana-Pi-R2-PRO-i.332992965.19194958207
This device is NOT RECOMMENDED for future use with OpenWrt due to low flash/ram. DO NOT BUY DEVICES WITH 4MB FLASH / 32MB RAM if you intend to flash an up-to-date and secure OpenWrt version onto it! See 4/32 warning for details. 1) This device does not have sufficient resources (flash and/or RAM) to provide secure and reliable operation. This means that even setting a password or changing simple network settings might not be possible any more, rendering the device effectively useless. See OpenWrt on 4/32 devices what you can do now. 2) OpenWrt support for this device has ended in 2022. 19.07.10 was the last official build for 4/32 devices.
Great information Van Tech! This looks like a great little board, yet it's always the software support that's needed.
Nice to see a test of another great openWRT device.
Keep up the good work, your videos are very helpfull 👍
How is the power consumption of the R2 Pro?
Great information Thank you Van Tech for great informations
Have you considered making a video about how to use Docker within OpenWRT? There are practically no videos on this topic. Thank you!
Thank you for review BananaPi, I hope you review BananaPi R3 Mini, this device seems very interesting for traveling, thank you bro.
Thanks, I will try one day!
Thanks a lot, very useful explanation
Do you install on the Banana Pi B-Pi R4 in the same way?
