Effortless Connectivity in Crowded Spaces
Say goodbye to strained WiFi in busy auditoriums, conference centers, and venues. The WiFi 6 R850 Access Point is purpose-built to deliver fast, reliable connectivity in high-traffic indoor spaces.


Fast, Secure Data
With built-in 5GbE and 2.5GbE Ethernet ports, the R850 supports multi-gigabit performance. A max data rate of 5.9 Gbps and WPA3 security ensure rapid, secure data transfers for mission-critical applications and demanding workloads.
Mitigate Bottleneck
Advanced features like 12 spatial streams (8x8 in 5 GHz & 4x4 in 2.4 GHz), MU-MIMO, TWT, and OFDMA enable the R850 to effortlessly and efficiently manage up to 1,024 connected clients.


Optimal Throughput
The R850 minimizes interference and optimizes throughput using Dynamic Channel Technology and BeamFlex+ Antennas, ensuring every user consistently experiences the best possible connection.
Beyond WiFi
The R850 supports Bluetooth® Low Energy, Zigbee, and other non-WiFi wireless technologies. A built-in USB port ensures easy integration of future wireless capabilities for unified IoT and WiFi networks.

The RUCKUS R850 Indoor Access Point addresses increasing demands in auditoriums, lecture halls, convention centers, and transportation hubs. Built-in 5GbE and 2.5GbE Ethernet ports enable multi-gigabit performance.
With 12 spatial streams and WiFi 6 (802.11ax) capabilities, the R850 supports up to 1,024 simultaneous clients. BeamFlex+ adaptive antennas and Dynamic Channel Management optimize each connection dynamically for superior user experiences.
The R850 is IoT-ready, with BLE and Zigbee radios and a USB port for future expansions. Cloud, on-premises, and virtual management options provide flexible control and deployment.
