Supports 50 clients
Aruba Instant On AP11 indoor access points deliver affordable, premium-grade Wi-Fi for small businesses. Made to fit your budget, this indoor access point supports up to 50 devices at a time.
High-speed Wi-Fi that's perfect for small spaces
This affordable entry-level access point is ideal for small stores and home offices. Providing data rates of 867 Mbps on 5 GHz (.11ac) / 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz (.11n) for a total of 1167 Mbps throughput, it's perfect for email and web browsing.
Secure network
The AP11 allows full visibility into the apps running on your network, along with the ability to block certain applications from being used. Offering WPA2/WPA3/OWE authentication for secure Wi-Fi access, this future-ready access point delivers a worry-free networking experience to environments such as cafes, retail stores, and restaurants.
Your network, your way
Establish a custom experience quickly and easily for your clients or your network. Start by creating a branded login page, then define the times of day your Wi-Fi is accessible, or open secure password-free guest networks. Next, apply bandwidth rates and limits, set data usage per app, and limit the duration of use of an external portal or service like Facebook Wi-Fi.
Smart Mesh
Whether you’re expanding coverage for more users or adding more space, extending your network can be tricky. Short timelines, the added costs, and a lack of IT resources can also delay a project. Taking minutes to set up, Mesh Wi-Fi allows you to connect and build out a network of access points, without the need for additional cabling.
Built-in Wi-Fi router/gateway functionality
Aruba Instant On is designed to serve as the primary Wi-Fi router to your network. Just connect your access point to your modem, and you’re ready to go. By setting your Wi-Fi up in router mode, you’ll eliminate the need for additional devices.
Plus:
Two-year warranty
24/7 phone and chat support
Instant On community

Read what people are saying about Aruba Instant On
Aruba for the win. After being a long time integrator and user of Ubiquiti access points I decided to try the Aruba Instant Online. After merely an hour of playing with the setup I was hooked. I have now deployed about 50 of them. The built in cloud controller is great. I will mention you can manage this locally through a web interface.
Verified Amazon Review | April 22, 2021Here comes the Aruba Instant On Wi-Fi access points to save you time... no, more like to save your day, by delivering blazing fast connections, quality video calls, security, and excellent Wi-Fi coverage wherever you need.
lowyat.net | May 6, 2020I’ve installed two of these APs in our RV, and like them so much I’m adding a 3rd one to provide coverage in the rear of the site. Unbelievably affordable at $65, and a snap to set up. The mesh network was up and running in under 5 minutes. The management interface is very useful; it’s got everything you need and really nothing that you don’t. It’s designed so that you don’t need to be a WiFi geek to get it to work.
