RUCKUS Unleashed R650 Indoor Wi-Fi 6 4x4:4 Access Point
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
RUCKUS Unleashed R650 Indoor Wi-Fi 6 4x4:4 Access Point (9U1-R650-WW00) - Limited Lifetime Local Warranty
Mid-Range Wi-Fi 6 for Offices, Classrooms, Libraries and Retail
The RUCKUS R650 is a dual-band, dual-concurrent 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) indoor access point with 4x4:4 on 5 GHz and 2x2:2 on 2.4 GHz — six spatial streams in total. RUCKUS rates it at up to 2400 Mbps (802.11ax) and up to 512 clients per AP for medium-density deployments.
Unleashed: Controller-Less Wi-Fi
This is the Unleashed edition (part number prefix 9U1-). RUCKUS Unleashed access points carry an embedded controller, so there is no separate controller appliance or cloud subscription to buy. RUCKUS says you just plug it in and set it up from the RUCKUS Unleashed mobile app or any web browser, and add capacity by plugging in another Unleashed AP. Unleashed also manages RUCKUS ICX switches, and includes guest services, Dynamic PSK and SmartMesh wireless meshing.
2.5GbE Backhaul
One of its two Ethernet ports is 2.5 Gbps, so the R650 can pass more than a gigabit of Wi-Fi traffic to a multi-gigabit switch port. The second port is 1GbE.
BeamFlex+ and Built-In IoT
BeamFlex+ adaptive antennas with polarization diversity focus signal towards clients, and onboard BLE and Zigbee radios plus a USB 2.0 port let the AP serve IoT devices alongside Wi-Fi.
Supplied in Singapore with Local Warranty
RUCKUS sells the R650 with a limited lifetime warranty. SourceIT supplies it locally in Singapore with a GST invoice. The R650 does not include a power adaptor; RUCKUS specifies 802.3at PoE+ for full functionality. Email sales@sourceit.com.sg with your floor plan and user count for a layout and bill of materials.

Compatibility & Software Support
Management
This 9U1- part ships as an Unleashed AP: set up and managed from the RUCKUS Unleashed mobile app or a web browser, with no controller hardware. RUCKUS lists the R650 hardware as supported by SmartZone, ZoneDirector, Unleashed, standalone and cloud management — if you plan to run a controller or RUCKUS One from day one, the non-Unleashed part 901-R650-WW00 is the usual order.
Mixing with Other RUCKUS Gear
Unleashed can manage RUCKUS ICX switches alongside the access points. Wi-Fi 6 clients get the full 802.11ax feature set; 802.11a/b/g/n/ac devices remain supported.
What It Is Suited To
RUCKUS positions the R650 for office buildings, K-12 classrooms, libraries and retail venues seeing more Wi-Fi devices, non-Wi-Fi IoT devices and bandwidth-hungry applications.

Frequently Asked Questions — RUCKUS Unleashed R650 9U1-R650-WW00
What is the difference between 9U1-R650-WW00 and 901-R650-WW00?
Same R650 hardware. 9U1- ships with Unleashed (embedded controller, no controller or subscription needed); 901- is the standard AP for SmartZone, ZoneDirector or RUCKUS One management.
Is the R650 4x4 on both bands?
No. It is 4x4:4 on 5 GHz and 2x2:2 on 2.4 GHz (six spatial streams). For 4x4:4 on both bands, see the R750.
What PoE does it need?
802.3at PoE+ (21.59 W) for full functionality. On 802.3af (12.25 W) it runs with reduced radio chains and the second port, IoT and USB disabled.
Do I need a multi-gigabit switch?
Not to run it, but the 2.5GbE port only pays off on a 2.5GbE-capable switch port.
What warranty do I get?
RUCKUS sells the R650 with a limited lifetime warranty; SourceIT supplies it with local support and a GST invoice.
