great video on ruijie AP. deployed 20+ of older models of Ruijie Wifi APs and are running 2 years straight solid. most of them are EAP602 (the first model of the UFO design APs) .
Yes it is and the coverage and signal strength is amazing. I can be out at 150m from the AP (no obstructions) and using my iPhone still be getting a good 50mb/s. We have seen these mounted on a roof of a house or out on a pole and cover 2 acres or more (I am obviously aware that the connecting device needs a good antenna to be able to make the connection, but it shows what is possible)
This is a slightly tricky question to answer. The information below is something to keep in mind first Wireless is actually about density not distance. We can often think that if we get a really powerful access point, we can then use that wireless on our devices, ie a laptop or a mobile over a bigger distance. Unfortunately the weakest link is the receiving device as it often only has a small antenna. Maybe think of it as an adult and a child playing soccer. The adult kicks the ball as hard as they can and tells the child to run after it. Once it stops they need to kick it back to the adult. It is just not possible as the child can't kick as far as the adult. This is the same in the wireless world. The signal can be "thrown" a long distance, but the receiving device is so much weaker it can't send the data back, so it won't work until it gets closer. So the radius is going to to depend on the connecting device and it's antenna power. The distance away from the access point of that device is also going to affect the speed of the other devices connected to it as well. With this all in mind though, we have had customers with this access point happily get 300m+ radius across a flat feed lot with no obstructions, connecting with an iPhone. Obviously at that distance they will only be getting a few mb/s and as a result other devices connected to that access point may well have seen their speed drop, but should give you an idea of what is possible. I hope this helps.
Thanks for your response. As you will be aware wireless distance from an access point is actually governed by the connecting device and its antenna. If the device has a weak antenna the power of the access point makes no difference. For example a laptop will manage around 20m as a standard. If you have a modern mobile phone and there are no obstructions (trees, buildings etc) then we have customers out on cattle stations getting around 40mb/s at 300m from the device, but again this is in perfect conditions with a good quality connecting device. I hope this helps a little. We do have a plan to do a video around this, but it is difficult to say it will do this specific distance when it depends on the device being used. I hope this helps somewhat for you.
hola, tengo starlink con un mikrotik hap ax2, de ahi tengo conectado la ruijie rap6262G, pero no encuentro como configurar la ruijie para sacar el maximo provecho, a veces no registra todos los dispositivos, y en otros momentos registra todos los dispositivos, no se como configurarla, ayuda por favor
To get the most out of your RAP6262G you will need to register it in the Ruijie AP. So first create yourself a Ruijie account and then add it. After you have done that you will want to look at the wireless settings and make sure you have configured it the best for your network setup, it is possible you have set it to only allow Wireless 6 devices etc. I hope this helps get you a little closer to finding a solution.
Hi Paul. I'm in serious need of help here. 1st, i have already gotten my starlink kit with ethernet adapter. 2nd, i bought the ruijie rap6262(g). 3rd, i wanted to connect from ethernet to ruijie but im not able to. Can you help with the set up? Do i need a switch in this set up? Thanks
Great to hear from you. The first thing you need to do is wire from the starlink ethernet adapter to the PoE injector that would’ve needed to have purchased for the RAP 6262. This will be connected to the LAN port on the PoE injector and then from the PoE port you will connect to the RAP6262. Is this how you have it wired
Hi, If you have the optional ethernet adapter from Starlink then you can connect this via a PoE injector to Starlink yes. If you are wanting the device to wirelessly connect to Starlink and repeat the Starlink routers wireless, then no, this is not a repeater, but an access point that needs to be connected via ethernet to the router. I hope this helps.
Good question. These can’t be used as a true bridge BUT they can mesh with another Ruijie access point, ie repeat the signal. This could work in some situations but if you need a true point to point it is best to use something like the EST350. I hope this helps.
@@The_Tech_Geeks Hello! I have three of the same access points (Ruijie Reyee RG-RAP6262-G), and I have failed to amke them mesh even after following the video, might you know a better way of meshing these APs
Good question and there is probably not a simple answer. Obviously it depends on the speed of the network it is connected to and the onward internet connection. A device like this will happy support 100 connected devices or more. If the question is can I connect 100 devices and steam Netflix on all of them, then of course not as if your internet connection is 100mb/s they would only get 1mb/s each. I think it is probably more about the application you have in mind for the number of devices, along with how far away they will be from the device. I hope this helps a bit with your thinking.
Good point. This is very subjective though as it comes down to the device that is connecting to it and not the strengh of the access point. We have some locations in Australia where a customer can connect to his wireless from one of these amost 1.8km from its location. Others using mobile phones at 400m streaming RUclips. I will see if I can work out a good way to standise a test that can be reused.

Yep, they are consistent and reliable.
Thats an interesting looking AP.

what is the wifi radius of this device?

Where do you get this device?
Depends on your location, but if in Australia or New Zealand - thetechgeeks.com or if in Europe, let us know and we can reach out to you there

So that means, [STARLINK router] - [ether net adapter] - [PoE] - ruijie?
Is this set up correct?
Sorry for missing this it was stopped as spam. Your wiring is correct yes
Hi, is this compatible with STARLINK? Need urgent answer. Thanks
Hi, If you have the optional ethernet adapter from Starlink then you can connect this via a PoE injector to Starlink yes. If you are wanting the device to wirelessly connect to Starlink and repeat the Starlink routers wireless, then no, this is not a repeater, but an access point that needs to be connected via ethernet to the router. I hope this helps.
Will I still be able to use the STARLINK router for wifi signal while it is connected to the device?
Yes you certainly can.
Thanks for the help. 😊
Can you configure that as bridge mode as receiver?
Good question. These can’t be used as a true bridge BUT they can mesh with another Ruijie access point, ie repeat the signal. This could work in some situations but if you need a true point to point it is best to use something like the EST350. I hope this helps.

256 devices
How do i get this?
You can buy directly from us at thetechgeeks.com if you are in Australia.
@@The_Tech_Geeks not in Australia but Nigeria?
Maybe contact Ruijie directly on their website and they should be able to help you - www.ruijienetworks.com/
this device does not come with poe very frustrating
This is correct in most instances now for most manufacturers, they are not providing POE injectors in the box as many people are running from switches
What you need is to put it to the test and see how much distance it covers and everything complete, not just show it...
