  • PoE Requirement: PoE+ (802.3at, 30W)

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Cloud-managed via Aruba Instant On portal—easy multi-AP deployment and centralized management; Wi-Fi 6 performance delivers 1.7 Gbps aggregate throughput suitable for SMB workloads; PoE+ powered (30W)—simplified installation without separate power supplies; WPA3 security support with encrypted cloud connectivity; Excellent cost-to-performance ratio for small/medium business networks; Seamless integration with cloud-based management dashboards
  • ✘ Cons: Single 1 GbE uplink bottlenecks high-throughput scenarios and multi-AP deployments; Mandatory cloud connectivity for management—no pure on-premises control option; 2x2 MIMO limits coverage and performance vs. enterprise 4x4 AP models; Maximum client capacity (256) insufficient for dense deployments; PoE+ power draw (30W) leaves limited budget headroom on switches with constrained PoE capacity; Limited advanced RF tuning features compared to Aruba enterprise-grade APs
  • Est. Price: $350 - $450
