Cost-effective NanoPi R2S Plus Router Board Emerges with Wi-Fi and eMMC Support
Recently, FriendlyElec introduced an enhanced version of the NanoPi R2S Plus, which now includes notable upgrades like compatibility with Wi-Fi modules and the addition of eMMC flash storage. Maintaining its original form factor, this updated model continues to offer dual Gbps Ethernet ports for reliable wired connectivity.
The NanoPi R2S Plus supports various Linux-based operating systems, including FriendlyWrt, Debian Core, and Ubuntu Core, all based on Linux-6.1(LTS). Users can find comprehensive information and setup instructions on the product’s Wiki page.

NanoPi R2S Plus dual GbE SBC and router gets 32GB flash, USB-C debug port, M.2 socket for WiFi
The new PCB appears to be slightly larger, and other small changes include the removal of the 10-pin GPIO header and the SPI flash footprint, we get two buttons instead of one, and two USB 2.0 ports instead of one.
We reviewed the NanoPi R2S with Armbian (Linux 5.8) in October 2020, but FriendlyELEC now provided Linux 6.1-based images of FriendlyWrt (fork of OpenWrt), OpenMediaVault, Debian Core, and Ubuntu Core for the new NanoPi R2S Plus, all of which you’ll find in the wiki along with detailed instructions.
