Aruba / R2X17A / AP11D (EG) 2×2 11ac Wave2 Desk/Wall AC1200 Gigabit PoE Access Point

The Aruba / R2X17A / AP11D (EG) 2×2 11ac Wave2 Desk/Wall AC1200 Gigabit PoE Access Point is a purpose-built, business-grade wireless access point designed to deliver fast, reliable, and easy-to-manage Wi-Fi in small offices, boutique hotels, medical clinics, and hospitality environments. Engineered by HPE Aruba under the Instant On product line, it combines dual-band 802.11ac Wave 2 performance with an intelligent desk and wall-mount form factor that fits seamlessly into any room layout. The 5 GHz radio delivers up to 867 Mbps using 2×2 MU-MIMO technology, while the 2.4 GHz radio provides up to 300 Mbps for a combined AC1200 throughput — giving every connected device the bandwidth it needs. Furthermore, the Aruba / R2X17A / AP11D (EG) 2×2 11ac Wave2 Desk/Wall AC1200 Gigabit PoE Access Point is equipped with one uplink Gigabit Ethernet port (E0) with 802.3at/802.3af PoE-in support, plus three downlink Gigabit Ethernet ports (E1–E3) — with PoE-out on port E3 (802.3af) — making it a true plug-and-play network hub for desktop environments without extra cabling. Additionally, the integrated Smart Mesh technology allows multiple APs to connect wirelessly, extending coverage to every corner of your premises with zero need for additional wiring or controllers. Consequently, deployment is fast and cost-effective even for non-technical staff, managed entirely through the Aruba Instant On mobile app for iOS and Android or the cloud portal at portal.arubainstanton.com. Moreover, the AP11D separates guest and employee traffic on independent SSIDs, with WPA2, WPA3, and Enhanced Open (OWE) encryption protecting both networks at all times. Integrated directional antennas provide a gain of 4.3 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 6.2 dBi at 5 GHz, ensuring strong in-room signal coverage in the exact direction it is needed. The access point ships ready to install with a single-gang wall-box mount kit, a desk mount kit with RJ45 jumper cable, and an Ethernet cable. However, power sources are sold separately — the unit supports 802.3af (Class 3) and 802.3at (Class 4) PoE-in, as well as a 48V DC power adaptor. With an MTBF of 1,090,000 hours (124 years) at 25°C and UL 2043 plenum rating, the Aruba / R2X17A / AP11D (EG) 2×2 11ac Wave2 Desk/Wall AC1200 Gigabit PoE Access Point is built to perform reliably for years.
