1 Product Overview
1.1 About the RG-RAP1261 Access Point
The RG-RAP1261 is a dual-radio Wi-Fi 6 wall plate access point designed for small- or medium-sized indoor
scenarios covering hotels, apartments, villas, residential buildings, and small business offices. It can be powered
by IEEE 802.3af/at PoE power supply. Compliant with the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax standards, the access point
can work in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands and supports dual-stream MU-MIMO. The access point
delivers a combined data rate of 2.976 Gbps, with up to 574 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band and 2402 Mbps in the 5
GHz band. The access point provides one WAN port and one 1GE LAN port that can be connected to a terminal
through an Ethernet cable. This satisfies requirements of wired and wireless network deployment in indoor areas.
