A Quick Overview of the Gowin R86S-B and R86S-P 2.5GbE Mini-PC/Router/Firewall

Gowin currently produces the R86S mini-PC in 3 different model series: B, P, and G. The B and P series models have 3 Ethernet 2.5G interfaces while the G series has 2 SFP+ 10G interfaces in addition to the 3 2.5G interfaces.

In this video, I take a quick look at the 2.5G models comparing the differences between the B and P series models.

A more detailed review of the Gowin R86S-B and R86S-P can be found on my website: https://homenetworkguy.com/review/gow...

If you have already purchased the R86S and would like to know how to install OPNsense, I have written a guide tailored specifically to the B and P series models (it should work for the G series but there will be additional network interfaces you may assign and utilize): https://homenetworkguy.com/how-to/ins...

Disclosure: Gowin sent me both units to review in exchange for my video and written review but opinions are my own.
