HP Aruba AP-335 Wireless Access Point
The HP Aruba AP-335 is a dual-band 802.11ac wireless access point built for high-density environments such as lecture halls, auditoriums and busy offices. It delivers an aggregate peak data rate of 2.5 Gbps through a 2.5 Gbit/s Smart Rate wired uplink. ClientMatch technology automatically groups Wave 2 capable devices on a single radio to enable multi-user MIMO benefits. This unit is sold new and targets enterprise-grade wireless deployments.
Suited for high-density 802.11ac deployments
This access point suits network teams that need to serve many simultaneous users on 802.11ac Wave 2 hardware and want automatic client classification to optimise radio efficiency. It fits installations that can provide PoE power via IEEE 802.3 af/at/ac switching infrastructure. Buyers who need a newer Wi-Fi standard or higher aggregate throughput than 2.5 Gbps should consider other options.
2.5 Gbps aggregate peak data rate
The decisive specification is the combined peak throughput of 2.5 Gbps, split as 1733 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 800 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. This figure determines whether the AP can handle the concurrent client load and application bandwidth your environment demands. Confirm that your wired uplink and PoE budget align with this performance envelope before purchasing.

Questions about this item
What maintenance will the integrated HPE Smart Rate port require over time?
The port has no moving parts or user-serviceable components; firmware updates delivered through ArubaOS keep it compatible with multi-gigabit Ethernet links.
Which limit appears first during continuous high-density client loads?
The 5 GHz radio caps at 1733 Mbps and the 2.4 GHz radio at 800 Mbps, giving an aggregate peak of 2.5 Gbps before airtime contention becomes the bottleneck.
How much fan noise and heat does the AP produce when running all day?
The unit is fanless and relies on passive cooling, so it generates no audible noise and only moderate warmth under full 2.5 Gbps aggregate throughput.
