Aruba Instant On AP22 Wireless Router Review

Mesh Network Set-up »

Inventory Menu

You can see all routers and APs in your network in the Inventory menu. You can configure them according to your preferences and set all wireless network parameters. Set an automatic or static IP for the device in the Connectivity option. The most important setting here is Radios, as it is used to enable the channel width and select from predefined channels. There is no 160 MHz range for the 5 GHz range, and the channel selection options are limited to a few choices. Transit power can also be set in 3 dBm intervals.

Networks Menu

In the Networks menu, I set up a quest network to ensure quests don't mess with my work network. You should check the WPA2 + WPA3 Personal option for enhanced security. There are other network settings you can also set. I suggest enabling Multiple Clients Optimizations. You can also have a schedule for your WiFi network, where network access will only be available during specific days and hours. Another interesting option is Network Access. You can leave it unrestricted if you don't have any resources in your network that you want to remain hidden from wireless clients, or you can set it to restricted to hide them. There is even an option to block specific application categories if you don't want your wireless clients to mess with them, including adult content, gaming, etc.

Applications Menu

The Applications menu shows how much data was transferred in the network. You can have a quick overview or check how much data-specific applications transferred.

Clients Menu

You can take a peek at connected clients, connection times, signal strength, speeds, and application categories in the Clients menu. Nothing is hidden here, so be aware of what you are downloading or browsing through online! Should you want to, this where you can block a client.
