Raspberry pi router os12/18/2023 ![]() The Seeed Mini Router is without a doubt one of the most compact networking devices that I have seen so far and, at its 3.0 x 2.5 x 0.8 inches (7.5 x 6.4 x 2.1 cm), it’s more closely sized to the portable mini routers. So, let’s check the Mini Router to see if Seeed Studios has managed to build a decently performing Raspberry Pi router or if it’s wiser to keep using the (usually) closed-source popular routers. But things can get very complicated very quickly especially if the manufacturer has no prior experience with networking devices. At the same time, the point of a Raspberry Pi router is to provide a better software flexibility and a more modular hardware at a decent price tag. It’s interesting to see that the Mini Router comes with OpenWRT already installed, so it wants to mimic the role of security gateways more so than the usual wireless router.Īnd truth be told, you can get a decent WiFi 6 router for a similar price tag to the Mini Router. I would still suggest using an external wireless access point if you need to give WiFi access to your devices. There is WiFi, although Seeed does not mention it in the characteristics list and yes, it uses both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz radio bands, as well as Bluetooth. ![]() This does mean that there is room for upgrades, so you can use whichever type of carrier board you like (the Mini Router will offer a couple of Gigabit Ethernet ports and two USB 3.0 ports).
