Ruijie Networks RG-AP840-L Wi-Fi 6 Wireless Access Point, 5375 Mbit/s

The Ruijie Networks RG-AP840-L is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 wireless access point engineered for demanding indoor network environments. Utilizing the 802.11ax standard, this device delivers a combined data transfer rate of up to 5375 Mbit/s, ensuring reliable and high-speed connectivity for modern professional infrastructures. With its dual-band operation and advanced spatial stream technology, it provides consistent performance even in high-density areas.

Advantages

This access point stands out due to its versatile connectivity options, featuring a 5Gbit Ethernet port and a 5Gbit SFP optical port. The inclusion of an optical port facilitates seamless integration into all-optical network architectures, allowing for fiber access directly in rooms. By supporting 160 MHz channel bandwidth and 6 spatial streams, the device significantly increases data throughput compared to traditional 80 MHz configurations. Furthermore, the support for PoE++ power supply simplifies installation by reducing the need for additional power cabling, making it an efficient choice for enterprise-grade deployments.

Suitable for

• High-density office environments
• Educational institutions and campuses
• Hospitality venues requiring high-speed guest access
• All-optical network infrastructures in commercial buildings

This device may not be suitable for small home networks where the advanced features, such as 5Gbit SFP connectivity and high-density spatial stream management, are not required. Additionally, it is designed specifically for indoor use and should not be installed in outdoor environments without appropriate protective enclosures.

Key specifications

• Wireless standard: Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 5375 Mbit/s
• Spatial streams: 6

To use the Ruijie Networks RG-AP840-L, mount the device securely on a ceiling or wall within the target coverage area. Connect the unit to your network switch using either the 5Gbit Ethernet port or the SFP optical port, ensuring the switch provides sufficient PoE++ power. Once connected, the access point can be configured and managed through the Ruijie Cloud platform, which allows for centralized monitoring and optimization of your wireless network settings.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing network switches support PoE++ power delivery.
• Ensure your cabling infrastructure is compatible with 5Gbit data speeds.
• Confirm that the mounting location provides adequate coverage for your specific floor plan.
• Check if your current network management strategy aligns with Ruijie Cloud services.

For optimal performance, ensure that the access point is placed in a central location away from large metal obstructions and that firmware is updated regularly via the cloud management interface to maintain network security and efficiency.
