NanoPi R2C is a cheaper dual GbE mini router with YT8521S Gigabit Ethernet PHY





FriendlyELEC’s NanoPi R2C is an updated version of NanoPi R2S dual GbE mini router that replaces Realtek RTL8211E Gigabit Ethernet transceiver with a Motorcomm YT8521S chip.
NanoPi R2C mini router still comes with a Rockchip RK3328 quad-core Cortex-A53 processor, 1GB DDR4 memory, and a Realtek RTL8153 USB 3.0 to Ethernet controller for the second Ethernet port.
The company reports the only difference is the Gigabit Ethernet chip, but when I reviewed NanoPi R2S with Armbiam last year, it still had a micro USB port for power, so they may have changed it to USB-C in the most recent revision.
FriendlyELEC still claims the measured performance is the same, e.g. 941 Mbps with iperf with the new chip, but the system runs a little warner albeit still within an acceptable temperature that does not accept the CPU performance.
