1.1.1 PC
Browser: Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0, and some
Chromium/Internet Explorer kernel-based browsers (such as 360 Extreme
Explorer) are supported. Exceptions such as garble or format error may occur
if an unsupported browser is used.
Resolution: 1024 x 768 or a higher resolution is recommended. If other
resolutions are used, the page fonts and formats may not be aligned, the GUI
is less artistic, or other exceptions may occur.
1.2 Default Configuration
Table 1-1 Default Web Configuration Item IP address
Username/Password
Default 10.44.77.254 A username is not required when you log in for the first time. The default password is admin.
1.3 Login to Eweb
1.3.1 Connecting to the Access Point
You can open the management page and complete Internet access configuration
only after connecting a client to the access point in either of the following
ways: Wired Connection Connect a local area network (LAN) port of the access
point to the network port of the PC, and set the IP address of the PC. See
Configuring the IP Address of the Management Client. Wireless Connection On a
mobile phone or laptop, search for wireless network @Ruijie-SXXXX (XXXX is the
last four digits of the MAC address of each device). In this mode, you do not
need to set the IP address of the management Client, and you can skip the
operation in Configuring the IP Address of the Management Client.
1
Web-based Configuration Guide
Fast Internet Access
1.3.2 Configuring the IP Address of the Management Client
Configure an IP address for the management client in the same network segment
as the default IP address of the device (The default device IP address is
10.44.77.254, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.) so that the management
client can access the device. For example, set the IP address of the
management client to 10.44.77.100.
Caution
Make sure that the client can access the Eweb system as long as it can ping
the access point. The IP address of the management client cannot be set to
10.44.77.253, because this IP address is
reserved by the device. If the management client uses this IP address, it
cannot access the device.
1.3.3 Logging in to the Web Page
(1) Enter the IP address (10.44.77.254 by default) of the access point in the
address bar of the browser to open the login page. Note
If the static IP address of the device is changed, or the device obtains a new
dynamic IP address, the new IP address can be used to access the web
management system of the device as long as the management client and the
device are in the same network segment of a LAN.
(2) On the web page, enter the password and click Log In to enter the web
management system.
You can use the default password admin to log in to the device for the first
time. For security purposes, you are advised to change the default password as
soon as possible after logging in, and to regularly update your password
thereafter.

Web-based Configuration Guide
Fast Internet Access
If you forget the IP address or password, hold down the Reset button on the device panel for more than 5 seconds when the device is connected to the power supply to restore factory settings. After restoration, you can use the default IP address and password to log in.
Caution Restoring factory settings will delete the existing configuration and you are required to configure the device again at your next login. Therefore, exercise caution when performing this operation.
1.4 Work Mode
The device can work in the router mode, AP mode or wireless repeater mode. The
displayed system menu page and function ranges vary with the work mode. The
RAP works in the AP mode by default. If you want to switch the work mode, see
Switching Work Mode.
1.4.1 AP Mode
The device performs L2 forwarding and does not support the DHCP address pool
function. In AP mode, the device often networks with devices supporting the
routing function. IP addresses of downlink wireless clients are assigned and
managed by the uplink device (supporting the DHCP address pool) of the AP in a
unified manner, and the AP only transparently transmits data.
1.4.2 Router Mode
The device supports NAT routing and forwarding. The addresses of wireless
clients can be assigned by the AP and wireless network data is routed and
forwarded by the AP. NAT is supported in this mode. When an AP works in the
router mode, it supports device networking, network-wide configuration, and
AP-specific radio functions. There are three Internet types available: PPPoE,
DHCP mode and static IP address mode. You can connect the device to an
Ethernet cable or an upstream device.
Caution After switching to the router mode, the device’s LAN IP address will
change to 192.168.120.1. Please obtain an IP address automatically for your
management client and enter 10.44.77.254 into the address bar of the browser
to log in to Eweb again.
1.4.3 Wireless Repeater Mode
The device does not support the routing and DHCP server functions in the
wireless repeater mode. IP addresses of the clients are assigned and managed
by the primary router. On an available network, the device can be connected to
the primary router through wireless connection to expand the Wi-Fi coverage
and increase the number of LAN ports and wireless access devices.

3.13.6 Configuring the Kick-off Threshold
Choose
Network ( WLAN) > Radio Frequency.
In the case of multiple Wi-Fi signals, setting the kick-off threshold can improve the wireless signal quality to a certain extent. The farther the client is away from the access point, the lower the signal strength is. If the signal is lower than the kick-off threshold, the Wi-Fi will be disconnected, and the client will be forced offline and select a nearer Wi-Fi signal.
However, the higher the kick-off threshold is, the easier it is for the client to be kicked offline. To ensure normal Internet access, you are advised to disable the kick-off threshold or set the value to less than -75dBm.
54

3.18 Configuring AP Load Balancing
Note This function is supported by only RG-RAP series access points.
3.18.1 Overview
The AP load balancing function is used to balance the load of APs in the
wireless network. When APs are added to a load balancing group, clients will
automatically associate with the APs with light load when the APs in the group
are not load balanced. AP load balancing supports two modes: Client Load
Balancing: The load is balanced according to the number of associated clients.
When a large
number of clients have been associated with an AP and the count difference to
the AP with the lightest load has reached the specified value, the client can
only associate with another AP in the group. Traffic Load Balancing: The load
is balanced according to the traffic on the APs. When the traffic on an AP is
large and the traffic difference to the AP with the lightest load has reached
the specified value, the client can only associate with another AP in the
group. Example: Add AP1 and AP2 into a group and select client load balancing.
Set both the client count threshold and difference to 3. AP1 is associated
with 5 clients and AP2 is associated with 2 clients, triggering load
balancing. New clients’ attempt to associate to AP1 will be denied, and
therefore they can associate only with AP2.
61
Web-based Configuration Guide
Wi-Fi Network Settings
After a client request is denied by an AP and it fails to associate with
another AP in the group, the client will keep trying to associate with this
AP. If the client attempts reach the specified value, the AP will permit
connection of this client, ensuring that the user can normally access the
Internet.
3.18.2 Configuring Client Load Balancing
Choose
Network ( WLAN) > Wi-Fi > Load Balancing.

(3) Switch to the Port VLAN tab page and configure VLANs for the port. Click
the option box below the port, select the mapping between a VLAN and the port
from the drop-down list box, and click Save.
UNTAG: Configure the VLAN as the native VLAN of the port. That is, when
receiving a packet from this VLAN, the port removes the VLAN tag from the
packet and forwards the packet. When receiving an untagged packet, the port
adds the VLAN tag to the packet and forwards the packet through the VLAN. Only
one VLAN can be configured as an untagged VLAN on each port.
TAG: Configure the VLAN as an allowed VLAN of the port, but the VLAN cannot be
the native VLAN. That is, VLAN packets carry the original VLAN tag when they
are forwarded by the port.
Not Join: Configure the port not to allow packets from this VLAN to pass
through. For example, if VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 are not added to port 2, port 2
will neither receive nor send packets from or to VLAN 10 and VLAN 20.

WAN interface MTU indicates the maximum transmission unit (MTU) allowed by the
WAN interface. The default value is 1500 bytes, indicating the maximum data
forwarding efficiency. Sometimes, ISP networks restrict the speed of large
data packets or forbid large data packets from passing through. As a result,
the network speed is unsatisfactory or even the network is disconnected. In
this case, you can set the MTU value to a smaller value.

Caution
If the DHCP server function is disabled on all devices in the network, clients
cannot automatically obtain IP addresses. You need to enable the DHCP server
function on one device or manually configure a static IP address for each
client for Internet access.
Start: Enter the start IP address of the DHCP address pool. A client obtains
an IP address from the address pool. If all the addresses in the address pool
are used up, no IP address can be obtained from the address pool.
IP Count: Enter the number IP addresses in the address pool.
Lease Time(Min): Enter the address lease term. When a client is connected, the
leased IP address is automatically renewed. If a leased IP address is not
renewed due to client disconnection or network instability, the IP address
will be reclaimed after the lease term expires. After the client connection is

FAQs
7 FAQs
7.1 Login Failure
What can I do when I failed to log in to the eWeb management system? Perform
the following steps: (1) Check that the Ethernet cable is properly connected
to the LAN port of the device. (2) Before accessing the setup page, you are
advised to choose Auto for the device enabled with DHCP service
to assign an IP address to the PC. If you want to configure a static IP
address for the PC, please make sure the IP address of the PC and the LAN port
are in the same IP range. The default IP address of the LAN port is
10.44.77.254, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The IP address of the PC
should be set to 10.44.77.X (X is an integer between 2 and 254), and the
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. (3) Run the Ping command to check the
connectivity between the PC and the device. If the ping fails, please check
the network settings. (4) If the login failure persists, restore the device to
factory settings.
7.2 Factory Setting Restoration
How can I restore the device to factory settings? Power on the device and
press the Reset button for more than 5 seconds. The device is restored to
factory settings after it is restarted. Then, you can log in to the Eweb
management system using the default IP address (10.44.77.254).
7.3 Password Loss
What can I do when I forget the password? Webpage management password loss:
Please enter the Wi-Fi password. If it is still incorrect, please restore
the device to factory settings. Wi-Fi password loss: When the access point
expands the Wi-Fi coverage, its Wi-Fi password is consistent
with that of the master router. Please check the configuration of the master
router and enter its Wi-Fi password. If the password is still incorrect,
please restore the device to factory settings and reconfigure the Wi-Fi
password.
