HPE Aruba AP-305 access point

The HPE Aruba AP-305 (RW) is a dual-band wireless access point built for small to mid-size offices that need reliable IEEE 802.11ac coverage. It delivers up to 1.70 Gbit/s aggregate throughput using 2x2 and 3x3 MIMO across both 2.40 GHz and 5 GHz radios.

IEEE 802.11ac practical limits

The 802.11ac standard caps real-world throughput well below the 1.70 Gbit/s phy rate due to overhead, client capabilities and channel contention. Three internal antennas improve spatial diversity, but total capacity is shared among all associated devices on each band.

Pre-deployment checks

Verify that your network infrastructure can supply PoE power to the AP-305 and that your controller or management platform supports the JX936A model. Confirm regulatory domain compatibility for the intended country before installation.

Questions about this item

Is the JX936A the only hardware version of the AP-305 or are there other part numbers?

The listing shows a single part number, JX936A, marked as an International Version with dual 2x2 and 3x3 radio chains.

What does the 1.70 Gbit/s wireless speed mean for actual throughput on my network?

That figure is the peak PHY rate under 802.11ac using both 2.40 GHz and 5 GHz bands; real-world throughput will be lower due to overhead, interference and client capabilities.

Which Wi-Fi standard does the AP-305 use and what does it cap in practice?

It uses IEEE 802.11ac with three internal antennas and MIMO, limiting peak link speed to 1.70 Gbit/s across the two frequency bands.
