Looks good, runs well for my Pi-Hole needs

I was looking for a solution to distribute my 2Gbps internet connection through my home wired network. It appears that it is not so easy to find a 2.5 WAN / 2.5 LAN router for a reasonable price. Then I found this R5C and combined it with 2.5Gbps unmanaged switch (WiFi APs installed additionally). The result exceeds my expectations, I’m able reach 2Gbps from my wire-connected PCs. I decided to keep the pre-installed OpenWRT software. At the maximum network speed CPU reaches 80% load and works well. Not bad for a low-end device.One note about the temperature. R5C has a solid metal case that allows it to keep stable temperature at 50 degrees Celsius without any additional cooler. I decided it is a bit too much for a 7/24 device and installed a low-rpm fan. Now temperature dropped down to 37 degrees and I’m happy with the result.Summary: a great option if you’re ready to consider your home network as a DYI project.

Took a lot of fiddling to get a different image loaded. Despite numerous attempts and multiple reads of various instructions. Then, once I got Debian and Docker installed, the device was not powerful enuff to run home assistant and pi hole simultaneously.I'll find some other use for this little computer. But running containers isn't one of them.

I bought a $10 laptop cooling pad for this and my unmanaged switch, which has taken care of what felt like high temps (but were within normal). seems pretty good. runs a couple moderate docker apps like adguardhome and swag with no trouble, along with way more OpenWRT luci apps than I really need. currently at a couple months of solid OpenWRT use. be aware that OpenWRT is much more complicated than most router firmwares, but there's plenty of good documentation out there. manufacturer documentation is adequate, but not entirely complete. I have not tested the Debian or Android firmware images, but I bet it would make for a great streaming box. probably not powerful enough for proxmox / heavy docker apps / or multi-client Plex transcoding? I already have a Plex server on a NAS. Seems to have plenty of RAM for being a router. great price point, although RasPi5 probably beats it now if you don't need 2.5gbe.

I want to implement a NAS (network attached storage) with multi-Gig ethernet support. I picked this ARM-Linux box because it has two 2.5G ethernet ports. After receiving the shipment from Amazon, I found its case is made of aluminum, which serves as a large heatsink. Thus, no fan is needed for cooling. As a result, it makes no noise and is suitable for home office and entertainment environments. Based on the information provided, I opened its wiki page and downloaded the firmware provided there. Everything worked pretty well. No issue was encountered at this stage.I installed the Debian 11 (bullseye) core as its OS. It booted smoothly after burning the rootfs image to a micro SD card, plugged in and powered on. However, the rootfs image is a little bit weird. As far as I know, most of such image for ARM single board computer (SBC) contains one partition (rootfs) or two partitions with a separate boot partition. However, this image contains many small partitions. Not sure what are those partitions for. I then checked the network speed. By using a 2.5G ethernet switch and an USB3.0 to 2.5G ethernet adapter on my Windows 11 PC, my iperf3 test showed that its speeds on both directions were about 2.35 Gbps. Which is not bad.In order to set up a NAS, I installed OpenMediaVault 6 (OMV6) on the Nanopi R5C with Bullseye Debian Linux. A 2.5" hard disk (hdd) with a USB3 interface was used as the storage. Installation carried out smoothly with no problem. When I used it as the fileserver, I found the read speed (NAS to Windows PC) could reach over 200MB/s, which should be satisfactory. However, the write speed (PC to NAS) was only somewhat over 10MB/s. This is essentially ethernet 100M speed.(Update: I noticed that the vendor just updated the OS firmware provided. In particular, the new firmware includes an OVM6 implementation. I tried their implemented OVM6. Both the write and read speeds were higher than 200 MBytes/s at start, then they reduced to about 100 MB/s and 60 MB/s, respectively. I think the speed reductions were due to the write and read speeds limitation of the hdd used in the NAS. However, when I used their new Bullseye firmware and implemented OMV6 from scratch, the write speed is still about 10 MB/s. I am not sure why. I contacted them but no reply was received.)One warning I want to make is that if you decide to buy this SBC, don't expect community and/or the vendor's supports like you would get for the Raspberry Pi's. However, if you want to take the adventure of utilizing its fast ethernet speed or other features that are not provided by Raspberry Pi's, this unit may not be a bad choice.
