Features

This “Instant RAP‑108” device supports 802.11n dual‑band Wi‑Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), delivering up to 300 Mbps throughput—suitable for light to moderate client density and productivity use. The RJ‑45 port supports PoE+ power, simplifying installation and eliminating bulky power adapters. Desktop or wall-mountable, its compact form factor fits easily into constrained or shared spaces. Managed via the Aruba Instant Mobile app or cloud portal, it can operate standalone or mesh with other Instant APs for broader coverage.Designed with plug‑and‑play simplicity in mind, the JW267A requires minimal configuration: power it up, connect to the network, and it auto-provisions into Instant mode. This makes it ideal for small enterprise branches or remote workers needing secure Wi‑Fi access quickly. While limited by modern Wi‑Fi 6 capabilities, it remains a cost-effective upgrade over legacy 2.4 GHz-only equipment. The model is backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n devices and includes security features like WPA2 encryption and guest SSID isolation.

Advanced Options

Engineered for straightforward deployment and dependable operation, the JW267A Instant Desktop Access Point delivers stable wireless connectivity with minimal setup. With a modest power draw via PoE+ (802.3af/at), it reduces cabling clutter and installation complexity—no external power adaptor required. Though not equipped with the highest bandwidth features of modern Wi‑Fi 6 standards, its 300 Mbps dual‑band support is sufficient for VoIP, video conferencing, remote desktop, and general web browsing. The Instant architecture automatically configures security—including WPA2 encryption and SSID isolation—reducing risk of misconfiguration in transient or unmanaged locations.
