Description

Overview

The Ruijie RG-EW1300G is the router to buy when the internet package is faster than 100 Mbps and the old router is the thing holding it back. It is a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 router in the AC1300 class — up to 400 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and up to 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band — and, unlike its cheaper brother the RG-EW1200, it has real Gigabit ports: one Gigabit WAN port and three Gigabit LAN ports. A fibre package of 200 or 300 Mbps finally reaches the devices at full speed.

The unit is a white tabletop router with external antennas — four, according to the official Ruijie datasheet — and 128 MB of RAM. It measures 220 × 140 × 36 mm without the antennas and weighs 0.29 kg, runs from a 12 V / 1.0 A adapter, and is rated for −10 °C to +45 °C. Management is through the Ruijie Cloud App and the Reyee Router App, and Reyee Mesh 3.0 with 802.11k/v seamless roaming lets a second compatible Reyee device extend coverage later.

Key Benefits

The first benefit is that nothing in the router throttles the connection. One Gigabit WAN port and three Gigabit LAN ports mean wired devices get the full speed of the package. The step up from the RG-EW1200 is exactly this: real Gigabit ports and a faster 2.4 GHz band.

The second benefit is dual-band Wi-Fi that suits real homes. The 5 GHz band carries the heavy work — HD streaming, video calls, gaming — at up to 867 Mbps, while the 2.4 GHz band reaches further through walls at up to 400 Mbps. Both bands run together with 2×2 MU-MIMO, and up to 96 devices can connect.

The third benefit is mesh without the mesh price. Reyee Mesh 3.0 with 802.11k/v roaming lets a second compatible Reyee device join the same network, and a phone or laptop moves between the two without dropping the connection. A buyer who moves to a bigger home extends the network instead of replacing the router.

The fourth benefit is control that a family can actually use. Parental controls, guest Wi-Fi, QoS, IPv6, DDNS and IPTV/VLAN support are all included, and the router can work in WISP and repeater modes too. The official datasheet also states a 3-year warranty.

Features and Advantages

The wireless side is a solid Wi-Fi 5 implementation: 802.11ac Wave 2 with 2×2 MU-MIMO on both bands, up to six SSIDs, and seamless roaming under 802.11k/v with another Reyee Mesh device. One honest note: “AC1300” is Ruijie’s marketing figure — the actual combined maximum is 400 + 867 = 1,267 Mbps. It is Wi-Fi 5, not Wi-Fi 6. Buyers who want Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 should look at an access point such as the TP-Link EAP723 BE5000 instead.

The wired side is where this router earns its price. One Gigabit WAN port and three Gigabit LAN ports mean a fibre ONT can feed the router at full speed and three wired devices can connect without a separate switch. If more wired ports are needed, a Gigabit switch such as the TP-Link LS1008G adds eight more behind it.

The antenna question deserves a straight answer, because buyers will find two different numbers online. The official Ruijie datasheet (2025-10-23) lists four external antennas — gain 4 dBi on 2.4 GHz and 5.5 dBi on 5 GHz — while several retailer listings say five. The listing uses the official figure of four, and the stocked unit should be counted before publishing. The router also carries VPN client support — OpenVPN client and server at 13 Mbps, plus a PPTP client — with port mapping, DDNS, IPv6 and IPTV/VLAN support. For a business-grade wired router with multi-WAN and a bigger VPN, the TP-Link ER605 is the office-grade step up.

Ideal Users

Homes on fibre or any package above 100 Mbps are the natural fit. A family streaming in 4K, gaming online and working from home gets Gigabit wired ports and fast dual-band Wi-Fi without paying for a Wi-Fi 6 router they do not need yet.

Streamers and gamers will get the most out of the wired ports — a console or desktop on a Gigabit LAN port gets full package speed with lower latency than Wi-Fi. It also suits small shops and home offices with many devices. What it does not suit is a buyer who specifically wants Wi-Fi 6, or an office that needs multi-WAN and business VPN.

FAQs

Does the RG-EW1300G have Gigabit ports?

Yes — 1 Gigabit WAN port and 3 Gigabit LAN ports (10/100/1000 Mbps). That is the main step up from the RG-EW1200, whose ports are Fast Ethernet only.

What Wi-Fi speeds does it give?

Up to 400 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and up to 867 Mbps on 5 GHz — a combined 1,267 Mbps, marketed as AC1300. It is Wi-Fi 5, not Wi-Fi 6.

How many antennas does it have?

The official Ruijie datasheet lists 4 external antennas. Some retailer listings say 5 — the stocked unit should be counted, and the listing corrected if it has 5.

Does it support mesh Wi-Fi?

Yes, Reyee Mesh 3.0 with 802.11k/v seamless roaming, so coverage can be extended with another compatible Reyee device.

What is the warranty?

The official Ruijie datasheet states a 3-year warranty.

Why Buy From NexGenShop.pk?

NexGenShop.pk lists the Ruijie RG-EW1300G at Rs 8,499 with the full box contents as Ruijie ships them — device, power adapter, Ethernet cable, user manual and warranty card. The listing states the official specifications plainly, including the points buyers most often get wrong: the antenna count, the real 1,267 Mbps combined speed behind the AC1300 name, and the fact that this is Wi-Fi 5. The team can be reached on Facebook and Instagram for help choosing between this router and the RG-EW1200.

Final Conclusion

The Ruijie RG-EW1300G is the sensible middle of the home-router range. True Gigabit ports, AC1300 dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Reyee Mesh 3.0 with seamless roaming, and a 3-year warranty per the official datasheet cover what a fibre home actually needs — without the price of Wi-Fi 6. At Rs 8,499 it sits above the RG-EW1200 (Rs 5,999), and the difference buys the two things that matter on a fast package: Gigabit wired ports and a faster 2.4 GHz band. Order it from NexGenShop.pk.
