NanoPi R4S Mini Router 4GB Memory Metal Shell RK3399 Two Gigabit Ethernet Port Networking Parts

Attention:
Before using your NanoPi R4S, please get the following items ready. 5V 2A charging head (quick charge forbidden), USB-C cable, C10-TF card (firmware and card making tutorial will be mentioned later).

NanoPi R4S router system card production steps:
1. Download system firmware: http://www.arm9home.net/read.php?tid-289059.html
2. Flash to TF card: Unzip the downloaded system firmware and the flashing tool win32diskimager.rar separately, insert a TF card for Windows (only 4G and above Class10 cards), right-click to run the flashing tool win32diskimager as an administrator. And on the interface of the flashing tool win32diskimager, select your TF card drive letter (you must choose the right drive letter, otherwise there is a risk of formatting other mobile hard drives), select the system firmware you want to burn, and click the Write button to burn.

After successful programming, you will see the following interface:


After making the TF card, pull out the TF card and insert it into BOOT card slot, power on and start. It is recommended to use a traditional 5V3A or 5V4A power adapter (Note: Some QC/PD fast chargers may have compatibility issues), you can see PWR red light is always on and the SYS green light is flashing. At this time, you have successfully started the system.

3 Ways to Log in the Router:
1: If you have purchased 5G-WIFI, you can log in using WIFI connection: search for the hotspot starting with FriendlyWrt in your computer, the password is password, and input 192.168.2.1 in the browser (recommended browser for Google);
2: Use LAN port connection to log in: Connect the WAN port of NanoPi R4S to the LAN port of your upper-level router, set the computer network card to "get an IP address automatically", use a network cable to connect the computer network port to the LAN port of NanoPi R4S, input http://friendlywrt/ or 192.168.2.1 in the browser (recommended browser for Google);
3: Use WAN port connection to log in: check the IP address of NanoPi R4S router, first connect the WAN port of the NanoPi R4S to the LAN port of your upper-level router, then log in to your upper-level router, check the client list, and find the host name that corresponds to IP address for FriendlyWrt, as shown below


Input this IP address in the browser and press Enter and enter the user name (root) and password (password) to log in.

Introduction:
NanoPi R4S is a high-end dual gigabit edge computing mini router with a motherboard size of only 66x66mm. It uses USB-C interface for power supply, and can support running open-source systems for Friendly WRT, Ubuntu, Armbian, etc.

NanoPi R4S uses a high-performance hexa-core processor RK3399 as the main control. The default maximum operating frequency is 1.8GHz, and it comes with 1GB DDR3 or 4GB LPDDR4 memory. It has two dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and supports dynamic configuration and voltage regulation. It also has a 2-way USB 3.0 interface, which can be used with external mobile hard drives, or expand 4G modules, USB high-definition cameras, USB WiFi and other modules.

In addition, users can choose a CNC all-metal shell, which is not only well-made, but also has a good heat dissipation effect, which can ensure that the system runs without frequency reduction in the whole process.

Advantages:
- For Rockchip RK3399
- For Dual-core Cortex-A72 & Quad-core Cortex A53
- 1GB DDR3 or 4GB LPDDR4 RAM
- Dual Gbps Ethernet ports: NanoPi R4S has two Gigabit Ethernet, one is directly derived from SoC, and the other is connected by PCIe. The transmission rate of the Gigabit Ethernet port directly derived from NanoPi R4S is 934Mbps and the reception rate is 936Mbps; the transmission rate of the Gigabit Ethernet port that PCIe transfers is 934Mbps, and the reception rate is 941Mbps
- USB 3.0 x 2
- Unique Address for MAC
- Multi OS
- GPIO & USB Pin Header
- USB-C Power Supply
- TF Card Bootable System

Package Included:
- 1 x Set of NanoPi R4S
