Banana Pi OpenWrt One PCBA Router Board with Wi-Fi 6, 2.5GbE, NVMe and PoE Module

The Banana Pi OpenWrt One PCBA Board with PoE Module is an open-source Wi-Fi 6 router development platform designed in collaboration with the OpenWrt community. Built around the MediaTek MT7981B Filogic 820 SoC, it combines a dual-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor running at up to 1.3 GHz with 1 GB DDR4 RAM, 256 MiB SPI-NAND and 16 MiB SPI-NOR storage. The included PoE module adds convenient network-based power capability, making the board suitable for compact router, gateway, IoT, and network-development installations.
Wireless connectivity is provided through the MediaTek MT7976C dual-band Wi-Fi 6 chipset, supporting 2 x 2 operation on 2.4 GHz and 3 x 3 operation on 5 GHz. Wired networking includes 1 x 2.5GbE RJ45 WAN and 1 x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 LAN, while an M.2 2230/2242 socket enables NVMe SSD expansion through PCIe 2.0 x1. The dual-flash architecture provides a recovery-oriented design for firmware development, while USB 2.0, RTC support, and a mikroBUS socket extend the board for custom OpenWrt, IoT, and embedded networking projects.
