Raspberry Pi 5 - Official OpenWrt Support Firmware Throughput Test

Finanlly, the Raspberry Pi 5 received official OpenWrt support. In this video, I will run a simple WAN to LAN throughput test with OpenSpeedTest and iperf3.

Since the Raspberry Pi 5 only has 1 network port, I used a USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter as the WAN interface.

For this test, I used 2 USB to Ethernet adapter:
- D-Link DUB-1213 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (ASIX AX88179)
- No-Brand USB 3.0 to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (Realtek RTL8156B)

Check out the video for more information.

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

You saved me. I was stuck on trying to install the right image with the right packages, thank you so much! You deserve a sub.

would like to see a video on how to use/configure snort3 (IDS/IPS) on openwrt. There are lots of tutorials for pfsense.

It would be awesome if you could make someday a video explaining how to turn a RPI 5 into vpn router.

I think they missed the mark on this one, but always interesting how powerful arm cpus have become.

Why can't my macbook pro use nmap to scan the IP of the Raspberry Pi 5 connected to the router via a network cable? Can’t see the IP address of Raspberry Pi 5 without a monitor?

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

[navidmirzaei]

Perfect. Thank you, do you have a solution for installing Openwrt on Esxi Arm on Fling (raspberrypi5)?

Hey Van,

Thanks for your video. I am located in China and I wonder if I can use Raspberry Pi 5 with Openwrt stuff as an addition to my home router (it's a local non customized ISP router).

My main goal is when I connect to the home wifi, I want all the traffic to go through my OpenWRT vmess proxies automatically. Is that possible to achieve?

I am not talking about entering the ip:port in advanced settings when I connect to wifi every new device.

Snapshot bulds are not really considered 'Ofically Supported'; more like "We're still working on it, want to be a beta tester?"

Thanks for the guide. Do you know how to enable RTC battery charging if you have the official battery? Or alternatively, do you know how to get wireguard to work without updating the clock manually? I have a kill-switch setup so no Internet/NTP access until the tunnel is up (which means I need to login to the web interface and sync the clock via the browser).

Thank you for the video.
Is it possible to use the SD card to install software in this version?
The procedures I tried work, but if I restart the PI5, the settings are lost.

When will you test SQM on it? Who cares if the Pi can handle full 1GB speeds without SQM.

PI4 could easily do like 800mbps both ways IF you bought a good chipset for your NIC card and not that trash AX model

Can you do configuration of openwrt using tailscale?

[LuminousSpace]

this thing as expensive as mini pc with ddr5 ram now....
