Connectivity and compatibility

This access point connects via a single Gigabit Ethernet port that supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), allowing both power and data transmission through one cable. The integrated Bluetooth radio expands its functionality to support indoor location services and asset tracking, which can be valuable in retail, healthcare, and enterprise environments. The USB-A port offers flexibility for future upgrades such as IoT sensors or cellular backhaul, making it adaptable to evolving network needs.

Installation and setup

Installation is simplified with included mounting clips that fit standard ceiling grids, enabling clean and professional deployments without visible cables. The Aruba Instant mode streamlines network setup by allowing the first access point to define network settings, after which additional units automatically discover each other and form a cluster. This controller-less approach reduces complexity and speeds up deployment for IT teams managing multiple access points.

Ideal uses and environments

The JW814A is well suited to environments where many users require consistent and fast wireless access, such as educational institutions, open office spaces, hotels, and retail stores. Its ability to handle over 500 devices simultaneously and maintain high throughput makes it a strong choice for locations with dense client populations. The integrated Bluetooth and security features also support use cases involving asset tracking and secure guest access.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
