Review: Great for SOHO. - Used for home office and easy to setup and use.
Review: Great Office AP - I wanted an AP that had additional Ethernet ports to allow for a couple of hardwired computers and this product was perfect! Range is great for what it is, my only wish is that Aruba eventually releases a WiFi 6 version of this AP to match their updated AP 25s that I use in the rest of the house.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you connect the lan port to a network switch and use the ap as a dhcp server for wired clients?**
A: Yes, they now have a gateway mode for the AP that can connect to a switch and serve other network devices. However, connectivity to the other child nodes in a gateway setup are limited to wireless mesh connectivity only. One would think that if you connected all child nodes to the switch then each AP should be able to communicate via the switch.  In a single site set-up that us not the case. The only way to make child nodes communicate over cable is to set up a second site which means administering 2 sites within the Aruba software.  Tech support is aware of this issue and has shared it with the product team as a future enhancement. In a nutshell these are self-contained Linux boxes with 4 ethernet ports.  As the product matures it may be a great product.  For now you need to expect extremely slow install set-up and boot time as each node must go through a slow update process.  The latest firmware update last week fixed a number of bugs causing difficulties in attaching multiple nodes to a site network.  The product still lacks some basic tools such as Ping and Speedtests that can be run directly on the nodes to test connectivity.  

You can work around the limitations.  For me my slightly older Linksys Velop implementation supports gateway DHCP and wired backhaul and mesh radio network with less issues and single site management.

**Q: Do you need the power supply if you use it as a router?**
A: Have set up several of these networks using Aruba Instant On AP11 D's as routers, that require their own power supply when configuring as a router. The AP11D's can be set up as an access point only using POE also.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for SOHO.
*by A***R on November 7, 2021*

Used for home office and easy to setup and use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Office AP

### ⭐⭐ Not quite ready for prime time
*by N***Y on March 7, 2020*

Pros... Build quality is good and setup is easy. The native vlan must have Internet access and DHCP must be enabled for the initial setup. Once it received an IP address it was easy to add to my site via the InstantOn portal. The vlan configs were automatically sync'd to match the existing devices. Cons... The vlans can only be assigned to the wireless networks. You cannot assign different native vlans to the remaining 3 ports. This is the deal breaker. If you run a flat network it may not be an issue. Notes... Once added to your site you can set a static IP using the advanced tab. Also, some may find it difficult to understand what the E0/PT, E0, PT and jumper is for. Basically, E0/PT and PT are internally connected. So, if you are going to use the desktop stand, you'd want to leave the jumper in and plug your trunk into the E0/PT port on the bottom. (See image) If you are going to wall mount using the single gang, remove the jumper and plug your trunk into E0 at the back. If you also have phone at the single gang, plug your phone line from the wall into PT on the back. Then plug the line from your phone into the E0/PT at the bottom. (see image)
