FAQ – In-Depth Answers

Q1: Which 850 Series AP has the highest throughput?
The RG-AP850-I(V2) tops out at 6.817 Gbps via its tri-radio, 10-stream design.

Q2: Do RG-AP850 models require special switches?
No—standard 802.3at PoE+ switches provide power; for multi-gig uplinks, use 2.5/5 GbE or SFP combo ports.

Q3: Can these APs handle over 1,500 clients?
Yes—the AR(V3) and I(V2) variants support up to 1,552 and 1,536 concurrent devices respectively.

Q4: Is AI-powered roaming only on the AR model?
AI Radio is built into the AR(V3) for seamless roaming and real-time scanning; the I(V2) and A models rely on standard fast-roaming protocols.

Q5: How do I manage a mixed 810/820/850 deployment?
All Ruijie APs share RGOS and integrate under the same Ruijie Cloud or AC controller, simplifying policy enforcement.

Q6: Can I use external antennas for corridor coverage?
Yes—850 Series supports attaching external sector antennas via dedicated connectors.

Q7: What fast-handoff standards are supported?
Full 802.11r/k/v support ensures <30 ms roaming delays between APs.

Q8: Are software upgrades disruptive?
No—dual firmware banks and zero-impact upgrade scheduling let you update firmware without dropping clients.
