On thursday I managed to help a friend to update his #mikrotik #routerBoard G750 running ancient version of #routerOS from v3.29 to the latest Router OS version v7.20.8.
No hacking, no 3rd party software required. I had to do the upgrade in multiple steps for each major version upgrade seperate but still I am seeing this as a huge surprise.
I can run up to date software on par with todays security standards, even run services that were not available at the time of producing that device e.g. #wireguard. #tech #networking

Banana Pi BPI-R4 Lite is a cheaper router board with with 2.5 GbE and Gigabit LAN and optional WiFi 7, 4G, and 5G support

The Banana Pi BPI-R4 Lite is a router board with a 2.5 Gigabit WAN port, a 2.5 Gigabit SFP connector, and four Gigabit LAN ports. There’s also an mPCIe slot for an optional WiFi 7 card and M.2 connector for 4G and/or 5G cards.

But, as the name implies, this is actually a cheaper, lower-performance board than two existing models from Banana Pi: the BPI-R4 and BPI-R4 Pro both have faster […]

NanoPi R3S-LTS is a cheap, tiny router board with audio and video output

When FriendlyElec launched the NanoPi R3S last year, the tiny single-board computer was positioned as a router board that packed two Gigabit Ethernet ports and a Rockchip RK3566 processor into a board measuring just 57 x 57mm (2.24″ x 2.24″).

Now the company has added a new model to its lineup that adds a few features the original was missing: including an HDMI 2.0 port for video output, as […]
