WLAN Pi R4

The WLAN Pi R4 is built upon the Raspberry Pi 4, sandwiched within a Waveshare Lightweight Aluminium Alloy Case / heatsink and finished off with the 3D-printed PETG fascia.

WLAN Pi

Built by Wi-Fi professionals for Wi-Fi professionals!

This new generation of WLAN Pi is built upon the Raspberry Pi platform and runs WLAN Pi OS (a custom ‘Wi-Fi-focused’ fork of Raspberry Pi OS).

The WLAN Pi can perform a variety of wireless networking tasks:

Operate as an iPerf2, iPerf3 throughput testing endpoint
LibreSpeed test server, browser based http speed test utility
WLAN Pi Profiler, used to discover the true capabilities of Wi-Fi clients
Remote Sensor
- for scanning with WiFi Explorer Pro
- for packet capture using Airtool 2
Wi-Fi Analysis
- Kismet
- TCPDUMP
- Aircrack-ng
Wireless Console, un-tethered access to your equipment console port
Chat-Bot, remotely interact with your WLAN Pi via Telegram
CDP/LLDP neighbour detection
Internet Service Reachability

Assembly Guide

WLAN Pi R4 Assembly Guide

Simple Fascia Assembly Guide

Waveshare Case

Step 1
Assemble the Waveshare Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Case for Raspberry Pi 4.

Install a single Waveshare M2.5 Socket cap screw, bottom right, adjacent to GPIO header pins.

Shim

Step2
Place the Shim on to the Waveshare case.

Shim pegs point upwards.

Waveshare UI

Step 3
Locate Waveshare UI Board, Shim pegs go through the corner holes, align and press down to secure into the RPi4 header pins.

Waveshare UI board should sit flat resting on the shim.

Vanity Plate

Step 4
Ensure button caps are in place, joystick cap can be applied whenever you feel like it!

Align Vanity Plate and push down to secure onto the shim pegs.

Interior Support

Step 5
Slot the interior support between the RPi4 IO ports and Waveshare UI board.

3x M2.5x14mm Pozi Countersunk Screws

Step 6
Insert, push, then tighten the 3x M2.5x14mm Pozi Countersunk Machine Screws.

Fascia

Step 7
Slide / push fit the Fascia, watch out out for the joystick cap, if already attached.

M3x4mm Screws

Step 8
Align, push and drive the M3x4mm Pozi countersunk machine screws through the Fascia into the internal support.

This step will ‘tap’ the thread into the internal support, it will require a little more force than the (pre-tapped) M2.5 machine screws in the previous step.
