The OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY is a specialized router board developed through a collaboration between the OpenWrt community and Banana Pi. Built on the powerful MediaTek MT7981B (Filogic 810) SoC and the MediaTek MT7976C dual-band WiFi 6 chipset, this device is engineered to provide seamless and flexible open-source networking solutions.
- 128 MB SPI NAND flash (primary storage)
- 4 MB SPI NOR flash (for a protected recovery bootloader)
- 2.5GbE RJ45 port for high-speed connectivity
- Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port for additional networking options
- Dual-band WiFi 6 (MediaTek MT7976C), supporting 2×2 2.4 GHz and 3×3/2×2 5 GHz with zero-wait DFS
- USB 2.0 Type-A for external devices
- USB Type-C (device/console) with Holtek HT42B534-2 UART to USB chip
- MikroBUS socket for add-on modules
- Onboard RTC with a CR1220 battery slot
- Optional PoE (Power over Ethernet) support via RT5040 module
- USB-C and 3-pin header for console access
- 10-pin JTAG/SWD header for in-depth debugging
- Boot select switch for toggling between NAND (main OS) and NOR (recovery mode), preventing permanent device failure
The OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY is designed with user flexibility in mind, featuring a nearly unbrickable dual-storage system. With its compact 148 x 100.5 mm dimensions, it is fully compatible with the Banana Pi BPI-R4 enclosure.
Additionally, every purchase of this device contributes to the open-source ecosystem. A $10 donation per unit sold is allocated to the OpenWrt earmarked fund at the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC), supporting essential expenses like hosting and OpenWrt events
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.
