Product Introduction
1 Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
RG-AP850-AR(V3) is an IEEE 802.11ax-compliant wireless access point (AP) released by Ruijie Networks for
indoor scenarios in the higher education, government, general education, finance, and business sectors. It
supports four radios, among which the 2.4 GHz band can provide a maximum data rate of 574 Mbps and the 5
GHz band can provide a maximum data rate of up to 4.8 Gbps. This AP can provide a maximum access rate of
5.378 Gbps, which breaks through the bottleneck in wireless performance.
In the design of RG-AP850-AR(V3), wireless network security, radio control, mobile access, Quality of Service
(QoS), and seamless roaming, IoT module expansion, and other important factors are fully considered. The RG-
AP850-AR(V3) can be used together with Ruijie's access controllers (ACs) to implement STA data forwarding,
security, and access control.
The RG-AP850-AR(V3) can work in IEEE 802.11ax, 802.11ac, and 802.11n modes simultaneously. It can be
mounted onto a wall, ceiling, and other locations. Moreover, the RG-AP850-AR(V3) supports local power supply
and power over Ethernet (PoE), which can be selected based on power supply conditions. It is especially
applicable to large campuses, enterprise offices, hotspots, and other high-density scenarios.
1.2 Product Appearance
The RG-AP850-AR(V3) provides three RF ports, two Ethernet copper ports, one 5G SFPport, one RJ45 console
port, one DC power connector, one USB port, and one reset button. For the two Ethernet copper ports, LAN 1
port supports IEEE 802.3af/at/bt-compliant PoE and LAN 2/IoT port can be used to supply power to the IoT
module (48 V/0.27 A, Max.: 12.95 W). The following figures show the product appearance.
