So it’s Banana Pi.

Begs me to ask why, out of all their models to base on, they gotta pick the one with a 2.5GbE port and a single GbE port. I am fully aware they have similar board with four GbE ports instead.

In sure the idea is that anyone who cares enough to buy specific hardware for openWRT is going to almost certainly have a standalone ethernet switch with far more than 4 devices plugged in.

Even more important, I don’t want layer 1 dropping on my devices just because my internet gateway rebooted, especially if I’m using DHCP.

Why would I? I just want to run OpenWRT for the features, I don’t even use ethernet other than the port in
