Overview
The NanoPi R5C is a compact dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet router board measuring just 58×58mm. Based on the RK3568B2 with four Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz, it delivers excellent routing performance through two RTL8125BG PCIe 2.5GbE ports — making it one of the smallest 2.5G router platforms available.
Available with 1GB to 4GB LPDDR4X RAM and optional eMMC (up to 32GB), the R5C includes dual USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, HDMI output up to 4K, and a 0.8 TOPS NPU. An M.2 slot accepts WiFi modules for wireless AP functionality.
Running FriendlyWrt, Debian, or Alpine Linux, the R5C excels as a compact 2.5G firewall, VPN gateway, or network bridge. The optional metal case provides passive cooling and clean deployment.
