HPE Aruba AP-515 Wi-Fi 6 Access Point

The HPE Aruba AP-515 (R0X40A) is a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) campus access point with dual 4×4:4 radios and integrated antennas — a high-density indoor AP for enterprise access.

Both radios are 4×4:4 MU-MIMO: the 5 GHz radio peaks at 2.4 Gbps and the 2.4 GHz radio at 1.1 Gbps, with OFDMA, 1024-QAM, BSS Coloring and Target Wake Time for dense, IoT-heavy environments. A third, dedicated dual-band radio runs continuous RF spectrum monitoring and WIDS/WIPS security scanning, and an integrated Bluetooth 5 / 802.15.4 (Zigbee) radio drives IoT.

Uplink is a single HPE Smart Rate 100M/1G/2.5G (2.5GbE) port plus a second 1GbE (E1) port and a USB 2.0 port; it powers from 802.3at (PoE+) for full function (802.3af with reduced capability). It runs three ways: controller-managed ArubaOS (Mobility Controller), controllerless Aruba Instant, or cloud-managed Aruba Central.

Shipped seller-refurbished: both radios RF-verified, uplink and PoE load-tested, housing inspected, and any prior provisioning cleared to factory default. Hardware only — a controller or Aruba Central subscription is required to manage it. 365-day owned warranty, seller-paid RMA freight, zero restocking fee.
