Turn Your Raspberry Pi 5 Into a Router With OpenWRT!

Turn Your Raspberry Pi 5 Into a Router With OpenWRT!

With the HatNET! 1G and 2.5G models being on offer this month, we thought it’d be great to get some relevant content out to on what you can do with either of these PCIe HATs for the Raspberry Pi 5.

The timing is great too with the Raspberry Pi 5 2GB model being made available at a lower price as 4/8GB of RAM is really not required for running your basic routing setup with OpenWrt and I’ve been running with the Pi 5 as my main home router for over 2 weeks with no issues! 

Installing OpenWrt on the Raspberry Pi 5 

Hurry and grab your Pineboards HatNET! 1G / 2.5G by the end of the month to make the most of our big discounts in the store, you don't want to miss it.

Running a router isn't the only thing you can do with your HatNET! So we're curious, what are you using yours for? Send us your creative photos on Twitter/X and we'll feature them on our page!
