Description

Overview

The Ruijie Reyee RG-EW1200 is a dual-band home Wi-Fi router that does the basics well and costs very little. It is a Wi-Fi 5 router in the AC1200 class: up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and up to 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band, running at the same time, with four external 5 dBi antennas and 2×2 MU-MIMO on both bands. It is white, compact at 182 × 120 × 32 mm, and weighs just 0.22 kg.

One fact about this router has to be said plainly: its wired ports are Fast Ethernet, not Gigabit. The WAN port and the three LAN ports are all 10/100 Mbps, so the fastest speed over a cable is 100 Mbps. The Wi-Fi itself is AC1200, but the router suits internet packages up to 100 Mbps. Setup takes about two minutes in the Reyee Router App, which also handles parental controls, guest Wi-Fi and remote management, and Reyee Mesh is built in to extend coverage later.

Key Benefits

The first benefit is that both bands work at once. The 2.4 GHz band reaches further through walls and covers the whole flat, while the 5 GHz band is faster for streaming and video calls in the same room. Band steering moves devices between the two automatically, and 2×2 MU-MIMO keeps the connection stable when several devices are online.

The second benefit is coverage from four real antennas. Four external omnidirectional antennas at 5 dBi give the router a better chance in a typical Pakistani home than the small internal antennas in many budget routers. Up to 96 devices can connect, with Ruijie recommending up to 24 users.

The third benefit is that the network can grow. Reyee Mesh lets a second compatible Reyee router join the same network, extending coverage without a new setup or a different network name. A buyer who moves to a bigger home, or finds one dead corner, does not have to throw this router away.

The fourth benefit is control from a phone. The Reyee Router App sets the router up in about two minutes and stays useful afterwards: parental controls with time limits and URL blocking, a guest network for visitors, a health mode, and remote management through the Ruijie Cloud App.

Features and Advantages

The wireless side is a solid Wi-Fi 5 implementation. It runs 802.11ac Wave 2 with 802.11a/b/g/n support, 2×2 MU-MIMO on both bands, and up to six SSIDs, so main, guest and smart-home networks can run side by side. QoS with WMM keeps voice and video smooth when the connection is busy, and WPA/WPA2 security protects the network.

The router is more flexible than its price suggests. It works in repeater mode to extend an existing network, and in WISP mode to share a wireless internet connection. IPv6 is supported, along with DDNS and IPTV. Parental control adds time limits, URL blocking and black/white lists.

The hardware is modest and honest about it. A MediaTek MT7628 processor with 16 MB of flash and 64 MB of RAM runs the router, which draws 8.2 W or less from a 12 V / 0.6 A adapter. The box holds the router, the power adapter, a quick start guide and a Cat5e cable. One comparison is worth making: the RG-EW1300G adds true Gigabit ports and faster 2.4 GHz speed for a higher price. If the home’s package is 100 Mbps or less, this router is the better buy. For a proper business-grade wired router, the TP-Link ER605 is built for small offices. To extend Wi-Fi into a room the router cannot reach, a wall access point such as the TP-Link EAP225-Wall or a ceiling unit such as the TP-Link EAP225 AC1350 covers the gap.

Ideal Users

Homes and small flats are the natural fit for the RG-EW1200. A family with an internet package up to 100 Mbps, several phones, a laptop or two and a smart TV gets dual-band Wi-Fi, app control and parental controls for Rs 5,999 — without paying for speed the connection cannot use.

Small shops and apartments suit it too — a card machine, a CCTV camera or two and a handful of staff phones need reliable Wi-Fi more than Gigabit ports, and the guest network keeps customers off the shop’s own devices. What it does not suit is a home on a fibre package above 100 Mbps, where the Fast Ethernet ports would cap the wired speed.

FAQs

Is the RG-EW1200 a Gigabit router?

No. Its Wi-Fi is AC1200, but its WAN and LAN ports are 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, so wired speed is capped at 100 Mbps. It suits internet packages up to 100 Mbps.

What Wi-Fi speeds does it give?

Up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and up to 867 Mbps on 5 GHz — a combined AC1200 — on Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2).

How many devices can connect?

Up to 96 devices can connect; Ruijie recommends up to 24 users.

Can I manage it from my phone?

Yes, with the Reyee Router App (and Ruijie Cloud App) for setup, parental control and remote management. Setup takes about two minutes.

Can I extend coverage later?

Yes, it supports Reyee Mesh, so a second compatible Reyee router can join the same network and extend coverage.

Final Conclusion

The Ruijie Reyee RG-EW1200 is a good honest budget router. Dual-band AC1200 Wi-Fi, four external antennas, MU-MIMO, Reyee Mesh and an easy app setup cover what most homes actually need — at Rs 5,999, without paying for speed the connection cannot use. The one condition is the wired speed: 100 Mbps over cable, because the ports are Fast Ethernet. For a home on a package up to 100 Mbps, that is not a limitation at all. Order it from NexGenShop.pk.
