Outdoor Wi-Fi 5 access point for harsh environments

The HPE Networking Instant On R2X10A AP17 is a dual-radio outdoor wireless access point built to withstand temperature extremes, rain and high winds. It delivers simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz coverage for open-air venues such as café patios, loading docks or poolside areas. The unit supports IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 with 2x2 MIMO on each band for combined throughput up to 2 Gbps. Management is handled through a simple web GUI and template-based clustering for rapid deployment.

Verify PoE infrastructure

This model requires an 802.3af Power over Ethernet source capable of supplying up to 13.5 W; no separate power adapter is included in the box. Confirm that your switch or mid-span injector provides PoE-in on the single Gigabit Ethernet uplink port. Ensure you have a suitable pole or wall mount and that the 7.4 x 6.1 x 2.6 in form factor fits the intended location. The product is not suited for indoor-only installations or networks lacking PoE infrastructure.

Passive thermal design with 13.5 W maximum draw

The access point operates without fans, relying on its ruggedised enclosure to dissipate heat across the specified outdoor temperature range. Maximum power consumption is 13.5 W under 802.3af PoE, so thermal output remains low and silent in normal use. Dual omni-directional antennas provide 4.7 dBi gain at 2.4 GHz and 4.2 dBi at 5 GHz without active cooling components. The sealed IP-rated chassis prevents dust and moisture ingress while maintaining stable operating temperatures.

Questions about this item

Does the AP17 outdoor access point come with a power adapter or do I need to supply PoE?

The box contains the AP17 unit and mounting hardware; a power adapter is not included so you must provide 802.3af PoE delivering up to 13.5W.

Should I choose the 2.4 GHz radio or the 5 GHz radio for the best throughput?

Both radios operate simultaneously — the 5 GHz radio reaches 867 Mbps with 2x2 MIMO while the 2.4 GHz radio provides 300 Mbps, giving combined dual-band coverage.

What does the 867 Mbps figure mean when the AP17 is mounted outside?

That is the maximum 5 GHz 802.11ac 2x2 MIMO link rate; real-world throughput will be lower and depends on client capability, channel width up to 160 MHz, and outdoor interference.
