At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items.

The HP Aruba 425 (JG654A) is a controller-managed enterprise wireless access point designed to work with HPE/Aruba wireless controllers. Dual concurrent radios cover 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz simultaneously, with a Gigabit Ethernet uplink and advanced radio resource management for dense enterprise deployments. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty with free standard AU shipping. Note: power adapter is not included — the AP requires a PoE switch (802.3af/at) or a separate PoE power injector.
The Aruba 425 is built for controller-managed enterprise wireless networks — not standalone home or small-office deployments. When paired with an HPE/Aruba controller, it becomes part of a coordinated RF environment where the controller dynamically assigns channels, adjusts power levels, and balances client loads across the AP fleet. This results in far more consistent wireless performance than standalone APs can achieve in dense environments.
The dual-radio configuration is particularly valuable in mixed-device environments. Legacy 2.4 GHz clients (older laptops, IoT devices, barcode scanners) are served by one radio, while newer 5 GHz clients (modern laptops, smartphones) are served by the other. This band steering approach keeps fast clients on the less-congested 5 GHz band automatically.
Fast-roaming support makes the Aruba 425 a solid choice for VoIP-heavy environments. As users with IP phones walk between AP coverage zones, the fast-roam handoff occurs without audible interruption — a key requirement for unified communications deployments.

Does a power adapter come included?
No — the Aruba 425 is powered via PoE (802.3af or 802.3at) from a compatible PoE switch or a separate PoE power injector. These are not included. Please ensure you have a PoE power source before ordering.
Can this AP be used without an Aruba controller?
No — the HP Aruba 425 series is controller-based and requires an HPE/Aruba wireless controller to operate. It cannot function as a standalone access point.
Which Aruba controllers is this AP compatible with?
The Aruba 425 works with HPE MSM720, MSM760, MSM765, and MSM775 series controllers. Verify controller model compatibility with your existing infrastructure before purchase.
Does it support 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5)?
No — the Aruba 425 is an 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) access point supporting up to 300 Mbps per radio. For 802.11ac, consider the Aruba 200 or 300 series.
What are the shipping options?
Free standard AU shipping is included on all Aruba 425 orders from Reboot IT.
Every HP Aruba 425 sold by Reboot IT includes a 12-month warranty covering hardware defects and radio failures. Our Melbourne-based team has been refurbishing enterprise networking equipment since 2001. Both radios and GbE uplink are tested before dispatch. Shop at reboot-it.com.au.
