Ruckus R350

The RUCKUS R350 is an entry-level indoor Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point built for smaller venues that still face big-time demands on their wireless infrastructure. Whether users are working out of a small office or connecting through a public hotspot, they expect strong, reliable connectivity for the same high-bandwidth applications and content they would consume anywhere else. The R350 delivers it with the patented RUCKUS technologies for performance optimization and interference mitigation found in the company’s premier access points — packaged in an ultra-compact form factor with a price tag to match.

A dual-band 2x2:2 design with OFDMA and MU-MIMO reaches peak PHY rates of 574 Mbps at 2.4 GHz and 1200 Mbps at 5 GHz — 1774 Mbps combined — while supporting up to 256 clients and 16 SSIDs per AP. BeamFlex adaptive antennas dynamically choose among up to 64 antenna patterns per band to optimize coverage and reduce RF interference, and ChannelFly steers traffic onto less congested Wi-Fi channels. Because the AP is designed to operate on existing 802.3af PoE switches and CAT 5e cabling, it avoids costly power-infrastructure upgrades, and its USB 2.0 port accepts an optional pluggable BLE/Zigbee module to unify Wi-Fi and IoT on a single network instead of building silos.

The R350 is an ideal choice for low-density enterprise and hotspot environments — small and medium-size businesses, retail locations, restaurants, classrooms, and multi-tenant small offices and branch offices. It can be managed from the cloud, with on-premises physical or virtual appliances (SmartZone, ZoneDirector), with controller-less RUCKUS Unleashed, or standalone, while SmartMesh wireless meshing creates self-forming, self-healing links that reduce expensive cabling.
