Wireless Access Point Ruckus R350 — 1774 Mbit/s, Dual‑Band 2.4/5 GHz, PoE, USB-A

Ruckus R350 is a dual-band indoor wireless access point that delivers up to 1774 Mbit/s of aggregate throughput: 574 Mbit/s on the 2.4 GHz band and 1200 Mbit/s on the 5 GHz band. The device supports 802.11ax (Wi‑Fi 6) client connections, Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified deployment, and a USB‑A port for auxiliary connectivity. Security features include AES encryption and WPA‑PSK, WPA‑TKIP, WPA2 and WPA3 authentication. Dual‑stack IPv4/IPv6 compatibility and a low maximum power draw of 12.62 W make this access point suitable for enterprise and branch deployments that require efficient, secure wireless coverage in smaller indoor locations.

Advantages

The R350 combines Wi‑Fi 6 performance with Ruckus radio and interference mitigation technologies to provide reliable throughput in dense client environments. Built‑in PoE support reduces cabling complexity and enables flexible ceiling or wall mounting without a separate power adapter. The device’s compact indoor form factor and USB‑A port allow integration with auxiliary devices and simple field upgrades. Native support for modern authentication standards, including WPA3, ensures improved security for client access and management.

Suitable for

• Small to medium offices and branch locations
• Retail stores and point‑of‑sale areas
• Public hotspots in lobbies, cafes and waiting areas
• Meeting rooms and classrooms with moderate client density

How to use

Mount the Ruckus R350 on a ceiling or wall near the coverage area and connect it to the wired network using a PoE switch or PoE injector to provide both power and data over a single Ethernet cable. Configure SSIDs, security settings and radio parameters through the chosen management platform or local interface, enabling WPA3 where supported for stronger protection. Place the access point centrally relative to client devices and avoid locating it near large metal objects or other sources of RF interference to maintain optimal performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results in small to medium indoor deployments, use a managed PoE switch to centrally control power and monitoring. Enable WPA3 authentication for compatible clients, and apply channel planning or automatic channel selection to reduce co‑channel interference. Monitor client density and throughput to adjust placement or add additional access points when usage grows beyond the R350’s optimal client capacity.
