Verdict
Banana Pi BPI-R4
8.5 / 10 Expert Rating
The strongest DIY OpenWrt router board for multi-gigabit fiber connections, if you actually have the bandwidth to use it.
AAEON (UP) UP Xtreme i11
8.3 / 10 Expert Rating
The most powerful general-purpose x86 board in this roundup -- laptop-tier performance in SBC form, but priced and powered for industrial and prosumer projects, not casual hobbyists.
