HPE Networking Instant On Access Point AP22 2x2 WiFi 6 Indoor Wireless Access Point (5 Pack) | Long Range, Secure, Smart Mesh Support | Power Source Not Included | US Model (R4W01A-5PACK)

Our company did a review of many access points on the market for use in our small business customers and we settled on this one. The value for this model as well as the larger AP25 get is great. One of the reasons we were looking is that another brand we were using started having issues with Apple devices connecting and in our tests this one didn't have any problems. Specifically we had a non-profit customer that used very many older devices and they were having problems connecting to some of the other brands WiFi 6 access points.I prefer this smaller AP22 access point as its theoretical wireless speed is greater than a gigabit ethernet, so it is fast enough. It also costs quite a bit less and doesn't run nearly as hot as the larger AP25. I would rather have 2 of these for nearly the same price as one of the larger units.Setup is easy with either their website or an app you can install on your phone. It supports meshing and all of the features you would expect from an access point (VLAN, multiple SSID, wireless mesh, POE). They have models that come with DC power for a little extra if needed.I like how they setup the web management as you can control multiple networks on one account, so it is great for an IT company like ours with multiple client, or for a business with multiple locations. It's also still simple enough for single location small business. It allows you to manage their InstantOn switches and access points in the same portal.For companies that already have an SNMP management system (Auvik, Domotz, etc) the device can be unhooked from the web/phone app management and instead setup and controlled locally on it's own web interface and monitored through SNMP.

The Aruba InstantOn AP22 deserves every bit of its 5-star rating. The installation was an absolute breeze – straightforward and hassle-free. The scalability of this device is remarkable, making it an ideal choice for growing networks. What truly sets it apart is the user-friendly mobile app – a game-changer for managing the network effortlessly. The intuitive interface simplifies configuration and monitoring, enhancing overall user experience. The AP22 consistently delivers strong and reliable Wi-Fi signals, ensuring seamless connectivity. Aruba has truly nailed it with this product, combining top-notch performance with user-friendly features. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a reliable and easy-to-manage wireless solution!

I've used many big names in residential Wi-Fi routers. I don't think I should mention brands, but 4 major brands sold here on Amazon for mesh networking all failed in some way. Random devices dropping or rebooting every other day were the norm.Granted, I probably take my network more seriously than many, but these Aruba's literally changed my life. Everything stays connected without me having to do anything. I'm a big HomeKit device user, and I no longer get "no response" errors since installing these.I needed a separate router, since these are just access points, but it was worth it. I bought 4 of these for the same price as 3 of any competition.They aren't the fastest, but they are stable and fast enough.These are aimed at businesses and are not intended to work without a separate router. Keep that in mind, as they can be setup quickly and easily, but have some advanced enterprise features that you can get lost in. I've been a network engineer for 20 years, and I highly recommend these.

I live in a heavy-tourist trafficked area with very limited cell/data service, so everyone is always looking for wifi, and no one really delivers it here (even the biggest hotel doesn't offer wifi in its rooms, just the lobby!). My office has a lot of excess space and we're a store front, so in July I started researching wifi-cafe type software and networking equipment and struggled with 2 other routers & services that swore it would work, and well, it didn't.One of the software providers recommended this router, and its been really good. The range isn't as strong as others, but when we double it with an extender our needs are met, and we've had a great few weeks with it so far. Very pleased with how easy it was to setup and integrate with my captive portal (login page).

Bought an AP 22 on the 7th, connection in 1,500 sqft home. The home is 1 floor, mounted in attic. It could not reach the master bedroom without dropping out. Master bathroom, forget about it. It’s connected at 1-0 bar at best. Andddd guess what no connectivity.For reference, currently have a Ubiquiti UAP-LR, it’s got better range and can get full connectivity.6 plus years in attic still going strong.Finally thought it was time for upgrade, since we are getting fiber in a couple of weeks.Boy was I wrong with this one..For the AP22 No matter what setting you move the 2.4 ghz to, it will not stay connected. And for the 2.4 to work, you have to have both 2.4 and 5 GHz enabled.The iPhone will not connect otherwise.Atleast the cloud portion works, so you can easily reconfigure. But after 2 days of working with this, it’s going back.Getting another Ubiquiti U6-LR for the same price with 4x4 MIMO vs this at 2x2. For only $10 more.Had high hopes for this system to work, but definitely not ready for a SMB or home.To note, the UAP-LR, from 2016 is only transmitting at up-to 17 dBM, and this AP can go up to 30 dBm.So transmitting at 30 dBm, this thing couldn’t keep an iPhone connected 45 feet away and 3 walls. (Tested: 12,PRO Max, 12 Pro and iPhone 13 PRO Max.)Glad I don’t order these for my clients…

Me gustó el tamaño, es pequeño. Sin embargo, no pude usarlo porque vienen bloqueados por país, busque en Internet si había solución, pero desafortunadamente no se puede arreglar.Comprare uno en México para poder usarlo. Me hubiera gustado que me avisaran qué había restricción antes de perder el tiempo.

Un très bon rendement
