Hi. I'm Tim from Scoop. In a previous video, we showcased some of our latest routers from
the Reyee brand which focuses on the SME market. Today we'll be introducing you to
the access point range, all of which can be centrally controlled, for free via the cloud.
The Reyee access point family features the range of both Wi-Fi 5 and recently some Wi-Fi 6 products
for both indoor and outdoor applications. Indoor models feature ceiling and wall mount
design for optimal coverage and also support PoE for scalable enterprise-like deployments.
Let's take a look at each device's specifications.
The RAP2200F is a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 access point with two fast Ethernet ports. It has
2 dBi antennas which support 2x2 multi-user mimo and has a moderate power output of 20 dBm. Data
rates for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz are 400 and 867 Mbps respectively. The 2200G is basically a
carbon copy of the 2200F, but supports 2x Gigabit Ethernet ports. This is useful for locations that
have a mixture of Gigabit ethernet and Wi-Fi users or if internet speeds exceed 100 Mbps.
The RAP2260GX is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 access point with 2x Gigabit Ethernet ports. It has 3 dBi gain
on both antennas and features 2x2 bi-directional multi-user mimo to cater for higher connection
density. Maximum data rates for 2GHz and 5GHz radios are 600 and 1200 Mbps respectively.
Physical data rates cannot be interpreted as actual performance as this does not take any
real-world overheads into account. We decided to compare the 2200G and 2260GX models to find out
what speeds are realistically possible. We tested these with a Wi-Fi 6 compatible MacBook pro to a
cabled iperf server from various distances to the AP's. This is done using the cleanest possible 80
MHz 5 GHz channel. Our tests show that at very close range there isn't much between the two.
But as the distance and obstructions increase, the Wi-Fi 6 version definitely outshines its
counterpart. This is due to the slightly better signal and the radio's ability to
maintain higher data rates at longer distances. In open-plan environments, most users will find
the performance of the Wi-Fi 5 version sufficient. For areas with lots of obstructions such as walls
or for high-density locations, the 2260GX is a far better choice and future proofs your network.
If you are looking for an outdoor solution check out the EAP602
which offers dual-band ac Wi-Fi with IP68 rating and built-in surge protection. It
features 2x Gigabit Ethernet ports, 3dBi antennas and 2x2 multi-user mimo support.
The stand-out feature is the huge 27dBm output power available in the 5 GHz,
making it a decent long-range solution which can be installed in rugged environments.
Regardless of the AP, they all have a rich feature set and all support the following:
802.3af/at PoE or 12V DC jack, Layer 2 and Layer 3 seamless roaming,
Band steering to assist clients to the higher performing 5GHz band,
and all of these can be configured or managed remotely by the Ruijie cloud app.
First and foremost, this cloud service is 100% free, which adds impressive value as it allows
integrators to deploy, manage and support Reyee products remotely. In the cloud app users can
create projects or networks and then start managing them immediately. Reyee items can be
provisioned via direct Wi-Fi or simply by scanning the QR code located on the back of the device.
Besides just regular network configuration there are a number of tools that can assist
users in optimizing various aspects of their network. Speed tests and roaming
performance tuning are built in to create the best possible customer experience.
Projects can also be shared with other technicians to collaborate and full network
topology reports can be generated directly via the app and shared with the customer.
Hotspots can be created with customizable captive portals for guest networks. These
can have different methods of authentication such as single-click logins, vouchers, user-configured
accounts, or even Facebook login. If the cloud is not for you, it's possible to run your Reyee AP
standalone or as a network controller with limited number of devices and feature set.
There are also a few dedicated gateway devices available which act as hardware controllers for
more scalable deployments. We'll leave links in the description for you to check them out.
Reyee's range of products come in at an extremely cost-effective price point compared to similar
solutions on the market. What's more, they don't compromise on performance as we have seen in our
tests so far. With so much control and value-added to this solution, we would definitely recommend
them for most SME projects you may have in future. Let us know what you think in the comments and
