Wireless access point RUIJIE RG-AP180, dual-band 2.4/5 GHz, PoE, 5× RJ-45, 10/100/1000 Mbps, white

RUIJIE RG-AP180 is a dual-band wall-plate wireless access point designed for hotel rooms, offices, dormitories and other spaces requiring discreet installation and multi-device connectivity. The unit supports simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operation and modern Wi‑Fi standards, provides multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired devices, and includes Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified deployment. Compact and lightweight in a white finish, the RG-AP180 combines wireless coverage, wired extension ports and integrated IoT connectivity for centralized management and scalable network setups.

Advantages

The access point offers concurrent dual-band wireless with support for contemporary 802.11 standards and multi-user MIMO for improved throughput under multi-client conditions. Built-in multiple Gigabit RJ‑45 ports extend wired connectivity for IPTV, set-top boxes or office equipment without additional switches. PoE support simplifies installation by delivering data and power over a single cable, while hybrid management modes enable both standalone and centrally managed operation. Integrated Bluetooth 5.0 and Zigbee modules allow future Smart IoT integration where needed.

Suitable for

• Hotel guest rooms and hospitality deployments
• Small and medium offices with wall-plate connectivity needs
• Dormitories, student housing and shared living spaces
• Environments requiring mixed wired and wireless device connections (IPTV, VoIP phones)

How to use

Mount the RG-AP180 on a compatible junction box or wall plate following the installation instructions and connect a Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable to a PoE-enabled switch or injector to power the device. Connect wired devices to the available Gigabit RJ‑45 ports for local network services such as IPTV or office equipment. Configure SSIDs, security settings and network policies via the local web interface, an on-premises controller, or Ruijie Cloud for centralized provisioning and monitoring. The AP detects management mode automatically, allowing operation as a standalone unit or as part of a managed deployment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, place the access point in the room’s central wall plate location to reduce obstructions and ensure even coverage. Use Cat5e or Cat6 cabling with a PoE switch meeting the device's power requirements. When deploying multiple APs, use Ruijie Cloud or a controller for coordinated channel planning, firmware management and security policy enforcement. For hospitality or high-density scenarios, enable band steering and MU‑MIMO features and segment guest and management networks via separate SSIDs.
