HPE Aruba 500 Wi-Fi 6 Access Points - Refurbished, Used, New
HPE Aruba 500 Series access points are dual-radio Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access points for offices, schools, clinics, retail floors and hotel rooms where client counts are moderate and the budget matters. The AP-505 has internal antennas, the AP-504 takes external antennas, and the AP-505H is a wall-plate hospitality model with local Ethernet ports for in-room devices. Each AP can run as a campus AP under a Mobility Controller, as an Instant AP in a controllerless cluster, or under Aruba Central, depending on the variant. NetworkTigers sells AP-505, AP-504 and AP-505H access points and matching mount kits refurbished, used and new, in single units or by the pallet. Every access point is tested before it ships so it works when it arrives.

Which Aruba 500 Series AP do I need?
- Antennas. The AP-505 covers a normal office or classroom from a ceiling mount with its internal antennas. Choose the AP-504 when you need external antennas, for example to push coverage down a corridor or a warehouse aisle.
- Hotel and dorm rooms. The AP-505H mounts on a standard wall box, serves the room over Wi-Fi and gives wired ports for a TV or phone, so one cable run covers the room.
- Regulatory domain. US models are set for the United States. Check the suffix on the listing against the country where the AP will be installed.
- Management. A standard AP-505 or AP-504 can join an Instant cluster or a controller. The R2H29ACM is intended for Aruba Central. Match the variant to how you already manage your Aruba wireless.
- Power. All three models run on 802.3af PoE from your switch, so an older PoE switch is usually enough. Mount kits are sold separately; the AP-MNT-D fits solid walls and ceilings.
Frequently asked questions
Can I mix AP-505 and AP-504 units in one Instant cluster?
Yes. Both are 500 Series APs and run the same software, so they can share a cluster or controller group, provided they are on the same software release. The 505H can also join, so a hotel can run corridor APs and in-room APs under one configuration.
Does a refurbished or used Aruba AP come with a Central subscription?
No. We sell the hardware only. If you manage through Aruba Central, apply your own subscription when you onboard the AP. Controller-managed and Instant deployments need no subscription for the AP to work.
Do you have enough stock for a full building?
Usually. We carry 500 Series APs in volume and can supply dozens or hundreds of matched units from one lot, which keeps hardware revisions consistent across a site.
