Raspberry Pi 5 - OpenWrt Install & Performance Test

In this video, I am going to install OpenWrt on the Raspberry Pi 5. After that, let's have some performance tests, including WAN to LAN throughput with OpenSpeedTest and iPerf3, OpenVPN and Wireguard VPN throughput.
Since the Raspberry Pi 5 only has 1 x Ethernet port, I used the D-Link DUB-1312 USB to Ethernet adapter as the WAN port. The onboard Ethernet port was configured as LAN.

You can find the products in the below URL (affilate)

Thanks for watching and see you in the next video!

Thanks for this video. I am very appreciative of your videos and especially your info on OpenWRT and OpenWRT on new single board computers. My focus is on providing the best possible performance controlling bufferbloat on a gigabit WAN connection, and I have used a number of different platforms to optimize performance and reliability. I've had good success, especially with the NanoPi, Friendlyelec R6s running friendlyWRT, but have also been pleased with running OpenWRT on an R4s, and on a Raspberry Pi 5. I have a Raspberry Pi 5, and have been waiting for OpenWRT support on it in order to test SQM scripts to control bufferbloat. When you have a chance, would you test the performance (throughput) controlling bufferbloat? Thanks for your videos!

There was an PR to add support for the Raspberry Pi 5, but I am not sure why it is closed.

Why not link directly to the OpenWRT site itself?

[patriquegoncalves]

thanks for this video, can you help me I want in the sdcard ovm and openwrt, it ´s possible install openwrt in the sdcard with omv?

Great video. RPI's are not not the best choice for OpenWRT in my opinion especially since most Broadcom based ARM chips that they've shipped with are comparatively more power consuming and less performant then MediaTek or even Rockchip alternatives for example - the RPI is also over priced moving way too far from it's original goals and ambitions of the project.

Your videos are not only informative but also really engaging. Your passion for the topic truly shines through, and it's clear you put a lot of effort into each video. Keep up the fantastic work! Looking forward to more amazing content from you. 👍😊

But is does not IPS/IDS and firewalling, the rhtoughput wil drop i think, i have a UDM Pro with IPS/IDS on and 2.4 gbps throughput, that will never be what the rpi 5 can do, it;s not designed to do that.

In your WAN to LAN test and also in your OpenVPN test the CPU is so low, you can run the Pi 5 also without a cooler at all without any problems. I am note sure about the Wirequard VPN test. That might be maybe a bit too much without a heatsink or fan, impossible to see that in your benchmark without measuring the temp. I can tell you that running applications with 1 core only on the Pi 5 is possible without any problems without a fan and without heatsink. If you use 2 cores, then it is a bit depending on what you exactly do. It might be too much, but it might be also still possible without hitting the temp limit and without hitting the throttel temperature.

Please make a tutorial on how to install daloradius with coova-chilli in openwrt

[patriquegoncalves]

Hello, how install OpenWrt and omv, because when try install OpenWrt with your method it ´s format de SD card. thank you

[botboss]

hey van tc please make a video about coovachilli with free radius

[pappuplumber]

Hi is there any openwrt package for website session ? I want to use netflix session on my home network . Session copy

[electron_ij]

Thanks for the tutorial, I want to add a Realtek WiFi key, but I can't always do it.

Can we used this image in rassbery 3b+

[teguhperbawa]

please review BPI-R3 mini and openwrt usage.

[ronaldhofman]

it's fun that you tested tihis, can be used in homelab environement
