HPE Instant On AP22 access point

The HPE Networking Instant On AP22 is a dual-radio Wi-Fi 6 access point built for small-business environments that need simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz coverage. It supports up to 75 associated clients and includes WPA2/WPA3 with Enhanced Open for separate employee and guest networks. Medical-grade certifications EN 60601-1-1 and EN 60601-1-2 allow deployment in healthcare settings. The bundle ships with a power supply for US outlets.

Installation and common issues

The unit mounts on a wall or ceiling and receives power through its single Gigabit Ethernet uplink via 802.3af PoE or the included 12 V DC adapter. Integrated down-tilt omni-directional antennas mean no external antenna alignment is required. A frequent issue is connecting the uplink to a switch port that does not supply PoE, leaving the AP without power when the DC adapter is not used. Ensure the switch supports 802.3af class 3 or plug in the supplied supply.

Capacity and headroom

The 5 GHz radio delivers up to 1.2 Gbps with 2x2 MIMO and the 2.4 GHz radio up to 574 Mbps, both on 802.11ax. Peak antenna gain is 5.6 dBi at 5 GHz and 4.3 dBi at 2.4 GHz. The 75-client association limit and single Gigabit uplink become bottlenecks in high-density or high-throughput scenarios such as large conference rooms or backup-heavy workloads. For those needs, additional access points or models with multi-gigabit uplinks are required.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the AP22 is operating on Wi‑Fi 6 after setup?

Check the management app or web UI for a 5 GHz link rate near 1.2 Gbps and a 2.4 GHz rate near 574 Mbps; those speeds indicate 802.11ax operation.

Does the R6M49A#ABA bundle include a PoE injector or must I buy one separately?

The bundle ships with a power supply unit; the AP also accepts 802.3af PoE from a compatible switch or injector if you prefer not to use the included adapter.

Which AP22 model supports up to 75 associated clients and medical‑environment certifications?

The R6M49A#ABA meets EN 60601‑1‑1 and EN 60601‑1‑2 for healthcare deployments and is rated for 75 concurrent clients.
