Banana Pi BPI-R3 Mini Open-Source Router
Banana Pi BPI-R3 Mini Router board with MediaTek MT7986A(Filogic 830) quad-core ARM A53 chip design,2G DDR RAM,8G eMMC flash onboard, It is a very high-performance open source router development board, support Wi-Fi6 2.4G/5G with MT7976C, support 2x 2.5GbE ethernet port.
MediaTek MT7986(Filogic 830)
The MT7986A(Filogic 830) integrates four Arm Cortex-A53 cores up to 2GHz with up to 18,000 DMIPs of processing power and 6Gbps of dual 4x4 Wi-Fi6 connectivity. It has two 2.5g Ethernet interfaces and serial peripheral interfaces (SPI). Filogic 830‘s built-in hardware acceleration engine enables fast and reliable Wi-Fi offloading and wireless network connection. In addition, the chip supports Mediatek FastPath™ technology, which is suitable for games, AR/VR, and other low-latency applications.
Wi-fi 6 has many advantages over its predecessors, including lower latency, larger bandwidth capacity, and faster transmission rates. Wireless network devices supporting the 6GHz band mainly use 160MHz wide channel and 6GHz uncongested bandwidth to provide multigigabit transmission and low-latency wi-fi connection, providing a reliable wireless network for streaming media, games, AR/VR, and other applications.
