RUCKUS 901-H550-XX00 H550 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Wall Switch – The High-End In-Room AP, IoT Gateway, and Ethernet Switch
Get more out of every room with the RUCKUS 901-H550-XX00 H550 Wi-Fi 6 Wall Switch. Built with patented RUCKUS BeamFlex+ technology, a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, dual IoT radios, a PoE output port, and a USB expansion slot, the H550 is the high-end wall switch in the RUCKUS H-series — made for hotels, student dorms, apartments, and multi-dwelling units where every room needs fast Wi-Fi, multiple wired ports, IoT support, and the ability to power other devices — all from a single cable pull.
One Cable Per Room. More Ports. More Power.
Like the H350, the H550 runs everything off a single cable pull per room — but takes it further with four Ethernet ports instead of two, dual IoT radios instead of one, a PoE output port to power other devices, and a USB slot for future add-on modules.
This is the right choice when a room has more devices to connect, more IoT endpoints to support, and less room for error on cable costs and install time.
Wi-Fi 6 Speed for In-Room Users
The H550 supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with dual-band concurrent radios, giving guests and residents the fast, low-latency Wi-Fi they expect.
- Dual-band concurrent (2.4GHz + 5GHz)
- Peak data rates up to 1.774 Gbps (574 Mbps @ 2.4GHz + 1,200 Mbps @ 5GHz)
- 2×2:2 MU-MIMO and OFDMA for serving multiple devices at once
- Supports up to 512 concurrent clients and 16 SSIDs per AP
- 1024-QAM for up to 25% faster speeds on Wi-Fi 6 devices
- Backward-compatible with Wi-Fi 5 and older devices
Ideal for streaming 4K video, IP voice calls, and everyday cloud app use in guest rooms and private residences.
Built-In 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch — With PoE Output
The H550 includes 1x GbE uplink port and 3x GbE access ports — one of which is an 802.3af PoE output port that can power other devices directly from the wall switch.
Common in-room wired devices the H550 connects and powers:
- IPTV set-top boxes
- IP desk phones — powered directly via the PoE port
- Networked minibars
- Smart TVs and game consoles
- Desktop computers and laptops
This is the key step up from the H350 — four ports instead of two, plus the ability to power a phone or other PoE device without running a separate power cable.
Dual IoT Radios — BLE and Zigbee, Concurrent
Where the H350 supports BLE or Zigbee, the H550 runs both BLE and Zigbee at the same time with dual concurrent IoT radios — plus a USB port for optional add-on modules to support future IoT protocols.
This is the right pick for rooms that need:
- Smart door locks and access control
- In-room sensors and energy management
- Asset tracking and guest services automation
- Smart minibar and environmental controls
- Any setup that uses both BLE and Zigbee devices at once
One access point. Two IoT radios. Zero extra hardware.
SmartCast Traffic Prioritization — Better Video and Voice
The H550 adds SmartCast traffic management on top of the standard RUCKUS RF toolkit — a traffic engine that puts video and IP voice streams first in the queue, keeping IPTV and VoIP calls smooth even when the room is busy.
This is a feature unique to the H550 in the H-series — and a key reason to choose it over the H350 for hotel rooms and residences where IPTV and voice quality matter.
Sleek Wall-Plate Design — Installs Over a Standard Outlet
The H550 sits in a low-profile wall-plate form factor that installs cleanly over a standard electrical junction box.
- Looks clean and discreet in any room
- No ceiling mount required
- No bulky hardware visible to guests
- Fast to install — works over existing wall boxes
- Included cable channel supports legacy devices like analog phones tied to PBX systems
BeamFlex+ Adaptive Antennas – Smarter In-Room Coverage
The H550 uses RUCKUS BeamFlex+ adaptive antenna technology, picking the best antenna pattern in real time — on a packet-by-packet basis — to reach each device with the strongest possible signal.
This gives you:
- Better in-room Wi-Fi coverage despite walls and furniture
- Less RF noise from neighboring rooms and networks
- Strong signal for every device — including older Wi-Fi 5 clients
ChannelFly & Advanced RF Management
ChannelFly dynamic channel selection uses machine learning to find and move to the least busy channel at all times — keeping room-by-room networks fast and stable even in dense, multi-room buildings.
Combined with:
- Client load balancing
- Airtime fairness
- SmartRoam for smooth client handoffs between APs
Strong Security Built In
The H550 keeps your in-room network safe with:
- WPA3 (Enterprise & Personal)
- VLAN support (802.1Q)
- Access Control Lists (ACLs)
- Device fingerprinting & policy control
- Rogue AP detection
- IPv4 / IPv6 dual stack
Flexible Management Options
- Controller-free (Unleashed)
- Cloud management
- SmartZone / ZoneDirector
- Standalone mode
Scale from a single room to a full multi-property network without added complexity. Full support for RUCKUS IoT Suite, Cloudpath security and onboarding, SPoT Wi-Fi locationing, and SCI network analytics.
Works with Your Current Setup
The H550 runs on standard 802.3af/at PoE or DC power adapter — works with existing CAT5e cabling and standard PoE switches. No new power setup needed.
