HPE Networking Instant On

HPE Networking Instant On R2H39A AP-505 Wi-Fi 6 access point 1.77 Gbit/s

SKU CH-AGBH-M296S MPN R2H39A

A cost-effective Wi-Fi 6 access point delivering up to 1.77 Gbit/s for medium-density indoor environments

  • Wi-Fi 6 delivers 1.77 Gbit/s aggregate throughput for faster wireless access
  • OFDMA and MU-MIMO serve multiple clients simultaneously to reduce airtime contention
  • 2 spatial streams with 80 MHz channels boost capacity in medium-density indoor spaces
  • TAA compliance enables deployment in regulated government and education environments
  • Cost-effective 802.11ax design fits schools, offices and retail venues

Target environments

The HPE Networking Instant On R2H39A AP-505 is a Wi-Fi 6 access point built for medium-density indoor spaces such as schools, midsize offices and retailers. It serves organisations with growing mobile and IoT demands that need reliable connectivity without premium pricing. Buyers who require outdoor-rated hardware or higher client density than this model supports should look elsewhere.

Aggregate throughput

The single specification that decides fit is the maximum aggregate data rate of 1.77 Gbit/s, delivered through 802.11ax with 2 spatial streams and 80MHz channel bandwidth. This ceiling determines whether the AP can satisfy the peak bandwidth requirements of your specific venue.

Capacity and headroom

OFDMA and bi-directional multi-user MIMO let the radio serve multiple Wi-Fi 6 clients simultaneously on each channel, reducing airtime contention in typical classroom or retail workloads. Performance tapers off when client counts or throughput demands exceed the 1.774 Gbit/s aggregate limit or the 2-stream spatial capacity.

Questions about this item

What does the 1.77 Gbit/s maximum aggregate rate mean for my actual network?

The 1.77 Gbit/s figure is the combined peak throughput across both radios under ideal lab conditions. Real-world client speeds will be lower due to overhead, interference, and the capabilities of each connected device.

Which Wi-Fi standard does the AP-505 use and what practical limit does it impose?

It uses Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with 80 MHz channels and two spatial streams. This caps the per-client link rate at the advertised 1.77 Gbit/s maximum when the client also supports those parameters.

What mounting hardware or space does the R2H39A need to be installed?

The access point is designed for indoor ceiling or wall mounting. The unit includes mounting brackets for standard drop-ceiling rails and drywall surfaces, requiring only a single Ethernet cable run for power and data.
