Japan Hewlett Packard Enterprise "Aruba Instant on AP11D"

New rate services such as AHAMO, POVO, LINEMO have started from major carriers, but for those who use various streaming services, the so -called "giga decreases" is a big problem.I think that many people decide on a restaurant that eats and drinks and rests, depending on whether or not Wi-Fi can be used.The ARUBA INSTANT ON AP11D, which is reviewed this time, is a wireless LAN router that enables a Wi-Fi environment at a relatively reasonable price for small stores.

A router that sells installation and software functions rather than communication speed

AP11D is a wireless LAN router compatible with Wi-Fi 5 (11ac).Although it does not support the latest Wi-Fi 6 (11ax), it is a product that sells a mount kit that can be installed on the wall, sells easy-to-understand mobile apps, web setting tools, and software functions based on business.。Nevertheless, communication is possible with up to 867Mbps (5GHz, 11ac, 2x2 mimo), and the maximum number of active devices is 50.If it is a small store, it is a practical enough specification.

The package includes the main body, desk stand (attached), Ethernet jumper cable (attached), wall box mount bracket, Ethernet cable, screws, and instruction manual.The power supply in the photo is sold separately because the power supply (IEEE802.3AT/AF) can be applied via a LAN cable if there is a network switch or injector for PoE.

Bracket used to attach to wall box mount.Can be installed in space saving

Included Ethernet cable.The length is actual measured 150cm

The instruction manual includes a quick start guide (Japanese), Startup Guide (English), Safety, Compliance, and Warranty Information (English), and Welcome! Card (English).In the quick start guide, you can check the setup procedure using a smartphone.

The number of interfaces is sufficient despite the compact body

The AP11D body size (excluding mounting parts) is 86 x 40 x 150mm and weighs 313g.The interface is a PoE power supply compatible uplink connection wired LAN (RJ-45) × 1 on the bottom, downlink connection wired LAN × 2, PoE power transmission-compatible down link connection LAN × 1, MicroUSB terminal on the back, back and bottom.A pair of passive pass through ports for electrical connection, USB Type-A terminal on the right side.

Since three down link connection wired LANs are available, up to three PCs can be connected to 3 units.The number of interfaces is sufficient despite being a compact body.

This is the state where the desk stand is attached.On the front is a PSE (power supply device), wireless, and LEDs that indicate the status of the system.

On the right side, reset buttons, security streak locks, USB Type-A terminals, and power supply terminals are placed.

From the left, PoE power supply compatible uplink connection wired LAN (RJ-45) × 1, downlink connection wired LAN × 2, PoE power transmission compatible down link connection wired LAN × 1.

When the desk stand is removed, a pair of passive pass through port for the microUSB terminal and the back and the bottom are available on the back of the main unit.When the product is shipped, the passive pass through port is connected by an Ethernet jumper cable

If you have experience set up a home router, you will not have to worry about setting

The setup will be performed using the smartphone application "Aruba Instant On".The rough flow is the installation of the app, creating an account, enabling account, selecting a new device, setting a network name (SSID) and password.This product is a wireless LAN router for small stores, but if you have a set of home models, you will not be particularly troubled.

This time, I set it on the iPhone.The application name is "Aruba Instant On"

First, create an account

If the AP11D is connected to the local network and the power is turned on, the app will be detected automatically.

Finally, set the network name (SSID) and password

If you reach this home screen, the setup is complete

There was no description in the quick start guide, but if you access "https://portal.arubainstanton.com/" from your PC, enter the created account ID and password, and enter it on a large screen.Various settings are possible.We recommend that you work with a browser when playing with the settings in detail.

This is the setting screen of the "guest portal" to be displayed when logged in with a guest account.This setting item is not displayed in the smartphone application, so it must be set from the browser.

If you prepare a guest portal, you can display such a welcome screen after entering SSID and password.

Recording up to 567Mbps on the descent and up to 571 Mbps on the up

AP11D is a wireless LAN router compatible with Wi-Fi 5 (11ac).Although it is not a model that sells communication speed, I also measured the effective communication speed.The method is to connect the "16-inch MacBook Pro" via NBASE-T via the NBASE-T wired LAN adapter "SANLINK3 T1", run the network performance measurement tool "iPerf3" in the server mode, and execute the "iPhone 12 Pro Max".Accessed from the "iPerf" app.The result is up to 567 Mbps on the descent and up to 571 Mbps on the up.Wi-Fi 5 (11ac) Compatible wireless LAN router is a satisfactory result.

The maximum communication speed of the descent is 567Mbps

When the benchmark was executed in a row for 5 minutes, the fever was measured and reached up to 51.6 ° C on the back of the desk stand (measured at room temperature 25.6 ° C).The amount of fever depends on the room temperature, the number of connections, and the operating time, so please keep it for reference only.

AP11D is a reasonable option for business users

It is a standard function that can create guest accounts and set up available schedules and network access restrictions with modern wireless LAN routers, but it seems convenient to be able to prepare guest portals with authentication functions.You can open it to visitors at stores, install a PoE -compatible surveillance camera, or play an active part in stores and small offices.

If you are looking for a wireless LAN router with a software function assuming business, the AP11D is a good option for cospa.
