Title: Perfect little OpenWRT device for sub gigabit SQM
Review: Have been running OpenWRT snapshots on it on the internal eMMC. It is perfect and does SQM without any issues on my symmetrical 650mbit WAN connection.When eMMC is flashed with OpenWRT first time, it will not use the entire space. So you will have to expand the file system. Iâve found a script online and it worked, now it uses the entire 32gb.I love how small and capable it is as a hardwired router. Glad that I bought it. Hopefully next OpenWRT 24 release will officially support this board. Until then, I will keep using snapshots as they seem very stable. I do not prefer running any 3rd party forks of OpenWRT, including Friendlyâs version.

Title: Good hardware and fast ethernet speeds but vendor support and software need improvement
Review: I want to implement a NAS (network attached storage) with multi-Gig ethernet support. I picked this ARM-Linux box because it has two 2.5G ethernet ports. After receiving the shipment from Amazon, I found its case is made of aluminum, which serves as a large heatsink. Thus, no fan is needed for cooling. As a result, it makes no noise and is suitable for home office and entertainment environments. Based on the information provided, I opened its wiki page and downloaded the firmware provided there. Everything worked pretty well. No issue was encountered at this stage.I installed the Debian 11 (bullseye) core as its OS. It booted smoothly after burning the rootfs image to a micro SD card, plugged in and powered on. However, the rootfs image is a little bit weird. As far as I know, most of such image for ARM single board computer (SBC) contains one partition (rootfs) or two partitions with a separate boot partition. However, this image contains many small partitions. Not sure what are those partitions for. I then checked the network speed. By using a 2.5G ethernet switch and an USB3.0 to 2.5G ethernet adapter on my Windows 11 PC, my iperf3 test showed that its speeds on both directions were about 2.35 Gbps. Which is not bad.In order to set up a NAS, I installed OpenMediaVault 6 (OMV6) on the Nanopi R5C with Bullseye Debian Linux. A 2.5" hard disk (hdd) with a USB3 interface was used as the storage. Installation carried out smoothly with no problem. When I used it as the fileserver, I found the read speed (NAS to Windows PC) could reach over 200MB/s, which should be satisfactory. However, the write speed (PC to NAS) was only somewhat over 10MB/s. This is essentially ethernet 100M speed.(Update: I noticed that the vendor just updated the OS firmware provided. In particular, the new firmware includes an OVM6 implementation. I tried their implemented OVM6. Both the write and read speeds were higher than 200 MBytes/s at start, then they reduced to about 100 MB/s and 60 MB/s, respectively. I think the speed reductions were due to the write and read speeds limitation of the hdd used in the NAS. However, when I used their new Bullseye firmware and implemented OMV6 from scratch, the write speed is still about 10 MB/s. I am not sure why. I contacted them but no reply was received.)One warning I want to make is that if you decide to buy this SBC, don't expect community and/or the vendor's supports like you would get for the Raspberry Pi's. However, if you want to take the adventure of utilizing its fast ethernet speed or other features that are not provided by Raspberry Pi's, this unit may not be a bad choice.

Title: Really Nice Mini Router
Review: I really like this little router. It's tiny, has two Gb ethernets, is well made, and is well supported.The hardware is great - it's tiny (roughly 2"x2"x1"), and solid. The metal case doubles as the fanless heatsink, and it does a good job of passive cooling, even while stress testing the throughput performance.The four status LEDs are well placed on the front, and the power and ethernets out the back. It also has hdmi and USB so you can connect it to display and keyboard, but normally I use it as a headless router.Friendlyelec provides excellent OS images. I have tried their openWRT and buildroot images, and they both installed from microsd to the embedded emmc perfectly. So simple and fast. The openwrt is a wonderful router - I had two ethernets routed with firewall rules in no time, and the web management is really nice. The buildroot image is a bit more basic, but it offers a powerful development/customization base. The kernel and u-boot are not the latest upstream (the kernel is 5.10), but they work well, and are better than some of the competition that is still stuck on 9.x.I have the 4GB/32GB version without wireless, so I can't comment on the wireless performance. Since the wireless plugs into a standard m.2 slot, you can always put in a decent card, and the case has mounting holes for two external antennas.Overall the nicest small dual ethernet router I have tested.

Title: 2months. seems great. gets hot... but doesn't crash!
Review: I bought a $10 laptop cooling pad for this and my unmanaged switch, which has taken care of what felt like high temps (but were within normal). seems pretty good. runs a couple moderate docker apps like adguardhome and swag with no trouble, along with way more OpenWRT luci apps than I really need. currently at a couple months of solid OpenWRT use. be aware that OpenWRT is much more complicated than most router firmwares, but there's plenty of good documentation out there. manufacturer documentation is adequate, but not entirely complete. I have not tested the Debian or Android firmware images, but I bet it would make for a great streaming box. probably not powerful enough for proxmox / heavy docker apps / or multi-client Plex transcoding? I already have a Plex server on a NAS. Seems to have plenty of RAM for being a router. great price point, although RasPi5 probably beats it now if you don't need 2.5gbe.
