Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Product Introduction

1 Product Introduction

1.1 Overview

RG-AP880-E is a Wi-Fi 6E wireless access point (AP) released by Ruijie Networks for indoor

scenarios in the higher education, government, general education, finance, and business

sectors. It supports three radios, among which the 2.4 GHz band can provide a maximum

data rate of 574 Mbps, the 5 GHz band can provide a maximum data rate of up to 2.402

Gbps, and the 6 GHz band can provide a maximum data rate of up to 4.804 Gbps. The AP

can provide a combined date rate of up to 7.780 Gbps, which eliminates the bottleneck in

wireless performance.

The design of RG-AP880-E considers factors including wireless network security, radio

control, mobile access, QoS, seamless roaming, and IoT module expansion. The RG-

AP880-E can be used together with Ruijie's access controllers (ACs) to implement STA

data forwarding, security, and access control.

The RG-AP880-E can work in IEEE 802.11ax, 802.11ac, and 802.11n modes

simultaneously. It can be mounted against a wall, a ceiling, and other location. Moreover,

the RG-AP880-E supports local power supply and power over Ethernet (PoE), which can

be selected based on power supply conditions. It is very suitable for large campuses,

enterprise offices, hotspots, and other high-density scenarios.

1.2 Product Appearance

The RG-AP880-E provides three RF ports, two Ethernet copper ports, one 5G SFP port,

one RJ45 console port, one power port for external power supply device, 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, maximum power of 12.95 W).
