The OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY is a custom router board developed collaboratively by the OpenWrt open-source community and Banana Pi. This device is built around the MediaTek MT7981B (Filogic 810) SoC and the MediaTek MT7976C dual-band WiFi 6 chipset, aiming to deliver robust open-source networking solutions.
Key Specifications:
Processor: MediaTek MT7981B (Filogic 810) dual-core Cortex-A53 at 1.3 GHz
Memory: 1GB DDR4 RAM
Storage: 128 MB SPI NAND flash for primary storage and 4 MB SPI NOR flash for a write-protected recovery bootloader, enhancing system resilience
Networking:
- One 2.5GbE RJ45 port
- One Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port
- Dual-band WiFi 6 via MediaTek MT7976C supporting 2×2 2.4 GHz and 3×3/2×2 5 GHz configurations with zero-wait DFS
- M.2 2242/2230 socket for NVMe SSDs (PCIe Gen 2 x1)
- USB 2.0 Type-A host port
- USB Type-C (device/console) port utilizing the Holtek HT42B534-2 UART to USB chip
- MikroBUS socket for additional expansion modules
- RTC support with an onboard battery holder for a CR1220 coin-cell
- Optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) support via the RT5040 module
- Multiple debugging interfaces, including console access through USB-C or a 3-pin header, and a 10-pin JTAG/SWD header for the main SoC
This router board is designed to be nearly unbreakable, thanks to its dual flash storage system. It also features a boot select switch, allowing users to choose between NAND (regular) or NOR (recovery) modes. The device's dimensions are 148 x 100.5 mm, making it compatible with the Banana Pi BPI-R4 case design.
The Banana Pi OpenWrt One Router is available on AliExpress for $89.00, which includes a case, three DB antennas, and a power adapter. On Amazon, the same package is priced at $104.90.
