Concluding reflections.
The RV2 is an excellent compact board primarily intended for low-end applications. We encountered some challenges running Ubuntu smoothly on the GNOME desktop; however, this issue could likely be resolved by opting for a lighter desktop environment such as Xfce. Overall, it performs reasonably.
Is it worth purchasing?
Absolutely! If you’re in the market for an economical single-board computer (SBC) mini router device, the RV2 is an excellent option. For those seeking something a bit more responsive but still cheap without dual LAN ports, we highly recommend checking out the Orange Pi 4A, which is priced at approximately $40.
