- In this video, let's take a look at the R1 Plus LTS from Orange Pi. This is an SBC powered by the Rockchip RK3328 with 4 cores and clock up to 1.5GHz. It has 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports: one intergrated Gigabit Ethernet by MotorComm YT8511C and a USB converted Gigabit Ethernet by the Realtek RTL8153B. With 1GB of DDR3 RAM, the SBC is suitable to use as a soft-router with OpenWRT or headless Linux server. In this video, we will focus the OpenWRT installation and throughput testing.
During the test, I can see that the R1 Plus LTS throughput is not stable when software offloading is enabled. I hope Orange Pi will spend more effort to fix this, or push the device into openwrt.org so that we can have the official support.
Video timeframe:
00:00 - Intro & Unboxing the Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS
02:17 - R1 Plus LTS Overview & Specification

09:02 - Boot up the R1 Plus LTS with OpenWRT
10:03 - Access LuCI & Initial Configuration
13:48 - OpenSpeedTest - WAN to LAN Throughput - No Offloading
16:07 - iperf3 - WAN to LAN Throughput - No Offloading
16:56 - iperf3 Reverse - WAN to LAN Throughput - No Offloading
17:25 - OpenSpeedTest - WAN to LAN Throughput - SW Offloading
18:51 - iperf3 - WAN to LAN Throughput - SW Offloading
19:46 iperf3 Reverse - WAN to LAN Throughput - SW Offloading
Please note that the Orange Pi R1 Plus and the Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS is different. The integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller of the R1 Plus is Realtek RTL8211E and in the R1 Plus LTS, it is the MotorComm YT8511C. Right now, only the R1 Plus is supported by openwrt.org. For the R1 Plus LTS, we need to use build from Orange Pi.

Thank you very match for this video. Please proceed with experiments with Openwrt.
Thanks for the comment!
Nice video as always! I'd like to see you reviewing DFRobot Raspberry CM4 Router. It does not use USB3 for eth1 but a proper PCI Express.
jeff geerling tested that on his channel, but he didn't use openwrt though. would be nice to see how it performs here.
Hi, there RPI shortage is still going on. I expect to receive one CM4 next month ...so until when got the CM4 I will come up with the test.
You could try to put thermal pads onto the nic too. They might get to hot and throttle.
From my observation, most likely this will not happen. I have been testing different SBC such as the R4S, R2S, R68S and the NIC usually doesn't get too hot.
Hello how are you?
Excellent video!!! I was thinking about buying an Orange Pi, but I was worried about compatibility and having to compile drivers. A year ago I bought a Banana Pi R2 and I had a lot of problems with drivers. Until today, her internal wifi card is not supported and I couldn't get an external USB wifi card to work.
Can you make a video installing a USB wi-fi card on your Oprange Pi? Is a video teaching how to make rclone to mount virtual disk and increase storage size a good suggestion? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Hi, for USB it depends on the chipset of that USB card. I got one WiFi 5GHz USB with Realtek MT7612U chipset and going to make a video soon.
@@VanTechCorner Great!!! Thank you very much.
@@VanTechCorner any update for this?
You know what would be interesting? See the performance of this router compared with a commercial solution at similar pricing.
Yeah, the Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS is even cheaper compare to the NanoPi R2C, which is having more or less the same specs. However, these kind of SBC/Router is for IT/networking enthusiast who is willing to explore, learn and improve. For a commercial production product, everything should be ready and most of the time plug and play.
@@VanTechCorner Sure, but I was suggesting to compare them purely from a performance standpoint. It would be interesting to see if this can effectively replace a commercial solution in a home setup (for enthusiasts, as you said).
I mean, the price is killer, it's even cheaper than a Ubiquity EdgeRouter X... But can it replace it? That's the question.
Are you talking about the EdgeRouter X runs OpenWRT or stock firmware? If you are talking about the ER-X with stock firmware, nothing I can comment since the 2 products are completely different (chipset, OS, I/O).
For OpenWRT, I have the testing video of the ER-X available on the channel. I am just sharing the information and don't do the comparison. You can make your own decision, which depends on how you want to setup your system, the budget, network throughput while considering the performance, the user community, OS/firmware development and feature proof... There are a lot of things to consider.
Frankly speaking, when you ask me this question, I think that you are not really familiar with OpenWRT, or still confusing about the mainline OpenWRT and factory-built OpenWRT firmware (OrangePi) . In this case, you should go with the Edge Router X for better support and ease of use. Once you have time and get used to OpenWRT, you can try install OpenWRT on the EdgeRouter X to explore more.
@@VanTechCorner Sure, but they do fullfil the same purpose. That's what I'm talking about, if you can use this instead of the ER-X in your home to take advantage of the extra features and future expandability without sacrificing any performance. Maybe a future video 👌🏼
Are there any boards like this that has multiple LAN ports with at least one LAN port that can provide PoE power to a device plugged into it? That would be sweet because one of these LAN ports will have a AP or Security camera plugged into it. No need to use a separate injector.
For SBC, like this Orange Pi, NanoPi or Banana Pi I don’t any board with this capacity. However, there are routerboards support this. For example, the Wallys DR4028 supports PoE input (to power on), the Mikrotik RB750Gr3, Ubiquiti Edge Router X can run OpenWRT, support PoE in at ether1 to power on and PoE passthru at ether5 to power other devices, such as AP or Camera.
@@VanTechCorner Have you done a video on how to put OpenWRT on a Ubiquity EdgeRouterX? I can’t seem to find it on your video list. If it’s done, the PoE out on it is passive. I get nervous with passive PoE because if the wrong voltage is sent to the end device, it might damage it. This includes accidental plugging in computers to this passive PoE port. This will surely fry the network jack and possibly the whole motherboard on this potentially expensive computer. Passive PoE is one of the most hated networking technologies. Yet, for some reason, manufacturers still do it. At the very least, manufacturers should create a modified passive PoE to first sense if the remote device is capable of PoE before sending its passive power to it. Passive PoE at the moment does not even do this. Once a physical connection is made, the injector blindly sends power.
@@jasonluong3862 By default, PoE out (passthru) is disabled (stock FW and OpenWRT), and I don't think it will have any impact on the connected device. Once you select to enable the PoE, you should be aware of the risk. The video is available here th-cam.com/video/VreMamhWOX8/w-d-xo.html, you can search for the video by go to the channel home page, and using the search button. Sometime I will forget to add the video to the OpenWRT Tutorial playlist, that is why you can't find it.
Này có gắn thêm usb wifi hay module wifi để phát wifi được không anh ?
Bạn có thể gắn thêm USB WiFi để thêm khả năng phát WiFi. Tuy nhiên cần chọn chipset tương thích. Ví dụ như RTL8723BU, RTL8821CU, RTL8811CU, MT7601U
MT7921K test next?
Maybe not, the parcel is still at China customs and it is slower than what I expected. The China National day is coming ...I think it will arrive late.
@Van Tech Corner
Bạn ơi cho mình hỏi, mình cài armbian bullseye cho pi r1 plus lts nhưng ko nhận dc địa chỉ IP, trên pc chỉ nhận dc IP 169.254 nên ko thể truy cập ssh để cấu hình dc, bạn chỉ giúp mình với
Nếu chạy Armbian thiết bị của bạn là một máy tính Linux thông thường (giống như máy tính Windows bạn đang bạn dùng). Bạn phải cắm nó vào switch hoặc router để R1 Plus nhận được địa chỉ IP.
Bạn chỉ có thể nối trực tiếp R1 Plus tới máy tính khi nó chạy OpenWRT.
What is the best? Nanopi R2s or R1 plus Lts? thanks.
For sure R2S if you need support from both OpenWRT and FriendlyElec
@@VanTechCorner I will only use openwrt so is R1 plus lts better? Thanks!
No, the R1 Plus LTS it is not supported by openwrt.org at the momment. All the fw are from manufacturer only
12:17 what's a docker interface here? Thanks
Hi, The OpenWRT firmware comes with docker pre-installed.
@@VanTechCorner Ok. Where is the best tutorial to learn docker on openwrt, do you know?
You can take a look at the official OpenWRT docs here openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/virtualization/docker_host or try searching some videos on TH-cam.
its comes openwrt pre-installed? also serial port?
No, you need to buy a microSD card and install OpenWRT manually.
@@VanTechCorner ok thanks, but any model of orange pi with openwrt pre-installed ?
@@edinetgrunhed6000 For Orange Pi, there is no such device. However, you can buy the NanoPi R5S. It has eMMC and pre-installed with Friendlywrt.
@@VanTechCorner thanks bro for the advise, but in your experience which one is simple and easy to program?nano or orange?
Hi, Both run OpenWRT (or a fork of it) so the it is almost the same.
Mua ở đâu thế ông?
Bạn có thể mua trực tiếp từ cửa hàng của Orange Pi trên Amazon hoặc AliExpress, hoặc mua sản phẩm qua các đại lý bán lẻ. Trên Shopee Việt Nam cũng có bán đó bạn.
Mua ở đâu vậy bạn?
Bạn có thể tìm mua trên Shopee hoặc AliExpress nha.
