Aruba AP25 Unboxing Setup & Review !

In this video I do MULTIPLE WiFi throughput tests with 2.5gb & 1gb connections. I also show size comparisons & how to add the device to the Aruba portal.
Special thanks to the marketing team for sending me this device.

I am a network engineer and we install Aruba IO and Aruba Enterprise products in all of our client's environments. I am thoroughly impressed with anything Aruba puts out. I just installed 2 AP25's in my house with 2.5gb POE switch connected to a PFsense fiirewall which also has 2.5gb ports. I also have the same 1930 switch you have, running my other devices. I am getting killer speeds but not as fast as you. The POE switch I had is a cheap chinese brand with no 10gb SPF ports which is most likely causing a bottle neck. I wish Aruba would release an update model of the 1930 8 port POE with a 2.5gb version.

Nice video Jason! Haven’t had the opportunity to play with Aruba products. Thanks for sharing!

[@JasonsLabVideos]

Once you try Aruba AIO products you'll never go back to that Unifi stuff !😁

[@QuikTechSolutions]

As you know, I’m also a huge fan of the Grandstream APs.

@@JasonsLabVideos Need to install my AIO kit, finally got the house cabled. Only got the AP25, but prob should have ordered 2 x AP22. What's the desktop pad with the world map?

[@JasonsLabVideos]

@@mikescott4008 Its my desktop pad for me to sit at :) LARGE mouse pad ! The ap25 is fast when you are close to it, as soon as you walk 10 feet its cut in half. MY fav AP hands down from Aruba is the AP22. Thanks for watching.

[@foxhallww311]

Also not to mention, the Aruba IO products don't require a license you have to renew every 3 years or so. So the ROI on the products for our clients is high.

Interesting, thanks!

Thanks Jay !!

Hey Jason. I have been watching some of your videos and trying to learn. Thank you. I’m hoping you can help me with something. I just go Rogers ignite internet fibre 1.5 Gbs down. I want to upgrade my home network. Would an Asus Zen Wi-Fi XT9 mesh system or Aruba instant on switch and access points be better? I want to get full wifi coverage of my house. Does Aruba not provide a firewall? If not will I need one if I go Aruba? Thanks for the great videos.

[@JasonsLabVideos]

Andrew, if you can hard wire your ap's it would be 1000% better then any mesh system out there. Buy a router, build a router OR use the ISP"s router, disable their built in wireless, and use a small 8 port POE Aruba switch & some ap's. My fave still are the AP22's. Any questions feel free to reach out.

48W!? 😲 Can you cook popcorn with that thing? 🤦‍♂️🤣

Thats probably MAX MAX power draw.

You can't just flash a different firmware for Canada?

[@JasonsLabVideos]

Nope.

Hello Jason, thanks for the video IF my clients only have Wifi 4 and Wifi 5 Protocols, will buying and installing these access points will cause me trouble (due to the native support of Wifi 6 from the AP, or I can just disable the Wifi 6 features, and it will be completely fine?)

[@JasonsLabVideos]

Nope, you will be fine.

[@andresinaga9885]

@@JasonsLabVideos so its okay for my Wifi 4 amd Wifi 5 clients?

@@andresinaga9885 What is wifi 4 ? I wouldn't buy the Aruba AP25, get the Ap22's .. they are way better.

[@andresinaga9885]

@@JasonsLabVideos why ap 22 is better in your opinion?

[@JasonsLabVideos]

@@andresinaga9885 ap25 is power hungry over priced, over hyped piece of garbage. The performance is horrible. The ap22 has way better range.
