I more than happier with my purchase !! Review: OpenWRT firmware not quite ready, one potentially showstopper bug - I'm using this mainly as a pretty vanilla AP. Flashed 24.10 OpenWRT release when I got this a week or two ago, and everything worked well for the most part. However, there is one issue (as of 2025/02/23) that might be a showstopper for some. The max transmit power is 6 dBm (or sometimes 7 dBm for some reason). Seems to be due to a firmware bug from my investigation (check GitHub and the Banana Pi forums). When connecting from a distance < 10 feet from the AP, and with one wall in between, the signal is fine practically speaking--at least for me. From 10-15 feet away and 2 walls, it becomes close to unusable. This is in a NYC apartment so your experience will probably vary. From my research, the Banana Pi closed source firmware seems to not have this issue, but I personally have not tried it. There is supposedly a patch that presumably will make it into an OpenWRT build for this device at some point. ## Features - [MediaTek MT7988A CPU] Banana Pi BPI-R4 Router Board with MediaTek MT7988A (Filogic 880) quad-core ARM Corex-A73 CPU design, 4GB DDR4 RAM 8GB eMMC and 128MB SPI-NAND flash onboard, works as 36Gbps Wi-Fi 7 access point/router/gateway.

One thing to note is that the wireless card heat sinks do not fit with the case that comes with the device. You will want to use a different heatsink. ## Frequently Bought Together - Banana Pi BPI-R4 WiFi 7 Wireless Dual-Band WiFi Router Board OpenWRT, with MediaTek MT7988A (Filogic 880) SoC, Support 2X 10GbE SFP and 4X GbE Gigabit Ethernet for NAS Smart Home Gateway (Bundle3) - Waveshare Quectel RM520N-GL IoT 5G Global Band Module, 5G Sub-6G Module, M.2 Form Factor with 3GPP 5G Release 16 Specification --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/654868571-banana-pi-bpi-r4-wifi-7-wireless-dual-band-wifi](https://www.desertcart.id/products/654868571-banana-pi-bpi-r4-wifi-7-wireless-dual-band-wifi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-08-10*
