Compact remote access point

The Aruba AP-203R is a unified remote access point built for branch and home offices that need secure corporate connectivity. It delivers 802.11ac wireless and wired network access in a small form factor designed for flexible deployment.

Flex-radio operation defines capacity

The radio can be configured as 2x2 single radio for up to 867 Mbit/s at 5 GHz or 400 Mbit/s at 2.4 GHz, or as 1x1 dual radio for 433 Mbit/s and 200 Mbit/s respectively. Buyers who need simultaneous dual-band throughput at higher spatial streams should consider a different model.

Questions about this item

What does the 867 Mbit/s figure mean once the AP-203R is installed?

The 867 Mbit/s rate is the maximum physical-layer speed on the 5 GHz band when the AP-203R runs in single-radio 2x2 mode; real-world throughput will be lower due to overhead, interference and client capabilities.

Which Wi-Fi standard caps the wired and wireless interfaces in practice?

The AP-203R uses IEEE 802.11ac, so the 5 GHz radio tops out at 867 Mbit/s in 2x2 mode or 433 Mbit/s in 1x1 mode, while the 2.4 GHz radio reaches 400 Mbit/s or 200 Mbit/s respectively.
