Put another way, administrators can manage Instant On networks from anywhere with ease and trust that the latest security intelligence protects their networks around the clock.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aruba Instant On takes advantage of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arubainstanton.com\/files\/AAG_AIO_SmartMesh.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Smart Mesh Wi-Fi<\/a><\/strong> to provide reliable wireless performance with built-in router functionality. On top of that, check out these other attractive benefits of Instant On:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multi-Site Management allowing administrators to easily secure and maintain multiple networks under one platform<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Site Inventory features that make it easy to see all the switches, access points, and other devices on your network at a glance<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Application Visibility and Control to ensure bandwidth is always routed to your most important services<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy Guest Access to connect customers and visitors<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enterprise-Grade WiFi that smoothly hands off connected devices between access points<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3><b>How Does Aruba Instant On Work?<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Aruba Instant On AP acts as a network router as well. In short, this means plugging in directly to the Internet right out of the box allows network setup to begin immediately.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aruba Instant On devices require no licenses, subscriptions, renewals, or prepaid contracts. In other words, Instant On APs and network switches include all needed software and services, right out of the box.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>How Do I Set Up Aruba Instant On?<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deploying and configuring an Instant On AP or Switch is as easy as downloading the Instant On smartphone app. The mobile app provides guided setup and plug-n-play deployment. So no experts required.<\/span><\/p><p>Need to set up wireless access in an especially tricky location like an outdoor stadium or campus? The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/brands\/aruba-networks\/access-points\/instant-on-ap17.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aruba Instant On AP17<\/a><\/strong> includes a ruggedized chassis that withstands the wear and tear of an outdoor deployment.<\/p><h3><b>How to Manage Instant On<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that mobile app for network set up? Use the same Instant On application to remotely manage, monitor, and edit network settings from anywhere, any time. Prefer working on the big screen? The web-based\u00a0 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/portal.arubainstanton.com\/#\/login\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">portal.arubainstanton.com<\/a><\/strong> shares all the same great features as the Instant On app, but on a browser.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the app or web portal, you\u2019ll be able to restrict resource allocation to stop bandwidth hogs, block unwanted clients, and easily create separate networks for guests and employees.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Are Aruba Appliances Expensive?<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surely something with this many positives must have a big drawback, right? Well, it\u2019s not going to be the price-point. Instant On access points are competitively priced to meet the needs of lean budgets and small offices.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, small offices can <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/blog\/wifi-6-best-access-points\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">join in the WiFi 6 revolution<\/a><\/strong> at the modest price-point of $220 MSRP for the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/brands\/aruba-networks\/access-points\/instant-on-ap22.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instant On AP22<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/brands\/aruba-networks\/access-points.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><button class=\"btn btn-primary\">Shop Aruba Instant On APs<\/button><\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/brands\/aruba-networks\/network-switches.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><button class=\"btn btn-primary\">Shop Aruba Instant On Network Switches<\/button><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aruba Instant On Access Points &#038; Switches provide fast, reliable Mesh WiFi (even WiFi 6!) for small businesses.
