Entry-level Wi-Fi 6 access point

The HPE Aruba Networking AP-505 (US) is an indoor wireless AP built for small to mid-size offices that need Wi-Fi 6 performance without a premium price. It delivers up to 1.49 Gbps maximum combined data rate across two radios using 2x2 MIMO and integrated downtilt omnidirectional antennas.

Simple ceiling or wall mounting

Installation uses standard mounting brackets for drop ceilings or drywall and requires only a single 1GbE cable for power and data via PoE. The proprietary serial console uses a micro-B USB physical jack, so a dedicated console cable is needed for initial CLI access.

Handles typical office density

The dual-radio design with OFDMA serves dozens of concurrent clients on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands while Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios support IoT devices. The single 1GbE uplink caps total throughput at 1 Gbps, so aggregated wireless traffic above that level will bottleneck at the wired port.

Highlights

  • Up to 1.49 Gbps combined throughput with Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax dual-radio 2x2 MIMO
  • OFDMA multi-user efficiency boosts dense-client performance in shared environments
  • WPA3 and Enhanced Open OWE strengthen wireless security for every connection
  • Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios built in enable IoT device onboarding without extra hardware
  • Flexible cloud, on-premises or VPC management fits any IT operating model

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the AP-505 is delivering its 1.49 Gbps combined data rate after installation?

Check the management dashboard for client PHY rates and aggregate throughput; the AP reports per-band MCS values and airtime utilisation so you can verify it reaches the rated 1.49 Gbps.

What ships with the R2H29A and which mounting hardware must I source separately?

The box contains the AP-505 unit with internal antennas; ceiling/wall mount brackets and PoE injector or switch are not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the US regulatory domain model R2H29A or a different SKU for my deployment?

Select R2H29A only if you are deploying in the United States; other country codes have distinct part numbers and cannot be used interchangeably.
