As of December 31, 2025, Banana Pi has published official documentation for the Banana Pi BPI-R4 Lite. This router-oriented board features a MediaTek MT7987A SoC with 2.5GbE SFP, 2.5GbE WAN, and four 1GbE LAN ports. While Wi-Fi 7 and 5G can be added via expansion slots, the M.2 slot is not designed for NVMe and there are USB 3.0 simultaneous usage limitations—points worth noting before purchase.
