Everything Instant On

Hi Community

I'd like to by

ARUBA ION 1830 8G 65W SW

plus 4 

ARUBA INSTANT ON AP25 4X4 WI-FI6

to create a local network into a 4 floor building.

I'll connect the 4 access points trough lan cable to the switch.

Is this configuration ok to create multiple wifi mesh networks?

Hi Giovanni.

I think that there is a small misunderstanding here.

When we talk about mesh network, this means, that APs are connected with wireless links between AP that has physical connection to the switch and APs that do not have physical connection to switch.

Your configuration is standard WiFi configuration (preferred one). Per your description you will connect each AP directly to the switch.

If the coverage will be good it is not possible to tell based on info you provided. Coverage is highly dependent on architectural and material characteristics of the building. 

On the other hand you can have up to 8 SSIDs on InstantOn APs. Not recommended, but you can have it.

SSID can be deployed on only one AP hence each AP can have it's own SSID if this is what you are asking for.

Best, Gorazd

Hi

A) The remote AP25 of a mesh , I assume the remote device eth port becomes a downlink?

B) Can you mesh from a meshed AP to create a ring of meshed APs as you can with Ubiquity WAPs?

Hi.

A. No. Eth port will not become downlink port. This option is available on AP11D and AP22D.

B. SmartMesh You can have up to 8 APs in the mesh.

Thanks Goraz,  

A. So there is no possibility to make a point to point bridge link with Outdoor Instant On APs?  Even if I use the local web interface rather than the portal ?

B. Smartmesh allows hopping between mesh to mesh APs or does each AP need visibility of the parent AP. See below workaround with AP11D. First diagram with only AP27 mesh will fail but addition of AP11D downlink mesh hop to AP27 mesh will work?  Note, only building A has ISP (internet)
