![Meraki Go Indoor WiFi 6 Access Point | Cloud Managed | PoE | Cisco [GR12-HW-US]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51z8YGgADhL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
I can't say enough good about the two AP-25 Wifi 6 Instant On access points that I deployed in my home (About 1500 SF, single story). I am a systems administrator and support an enterprise campus full of Aruba controller based access points. These are 4x4 MPIO, so they handle a lot of clients (way more than I will every have at my house). Our Aruba rep let me know the AP-25 was basically an Aruba AP-535 access point, as it has mostly all of the same hardware. The AP-535 APs run about ~1400.00 each. You also need muliple license for the Aruba AP-535 series of access points and a wireless controller unless you run them with one AP acting as a controller for all the others. Also, there are no additional licensing cost for any of the Instance On access points and switches. Just plug them in, answer some setup questions and you are in business.
The cloud portal is clean and easy to navigate. It was simple to on board the APs and it includes a lot of features you will not find in a consumer grade wireless router. Some of the features I really like is the ability to disable a specific wireless connection on the fly through the GUI interface, which is nice when I want to punish the kids, but still have internet service through out the house. Other features like bandwidth monitoring and real-time traffic monitoring which shows what kind of services are being used by client are really nice.
I haven't had any problems with the cloud portal - it seems very stable. If I understand correctly, If for some reason the portal is down, your network will continute to work, but you won't be able to see monitoring/reporting or make changes to your network. With their Instant On series switches, you can manage them in the cloud portal or through a local GUI (and CLI) to access many enterprise level features.
I installed the APs on different sides of my house, mounting to the client (which provides for the best coverage). Roaming and session hand off between the APs works beautifully and I haven't had to restart these since I powered them about 3 months ago. I feel like my network very stable and I don't even think about it.
Short story long, set it and forget it and you are good to go for a premium wifi network in your home or business. It is very simple to deploy. These replaced a couple of UniFi AC-PRO access points, and I feel like it is a real step up on the network.
These APs include a mount that I used to deploy each AP on the ceiling - It took longer for me to break out the ladder than it did to mount them. There are a couple of small yellow lights on each AP, but they are defiantly not bright and can be disabled easily in the portal.
I have multiple POE+ switches so I didn't have to buy the AC adapter bundle, which saved a little on costs. Also, these support mesh configurations, so if you don't have a wired connection where you want to install them, you can set them up where one of the other APs in your network provides the uplink connection to wifi, which is great for dead spots.
With the long lead times for equipment like this, I had to wait for these to become available. I am very glad I did so - they are way more than what I need for my home network and the AP-22 models would have been a cheaper options, but I like to future proof and these were available.
Overall, great experience and I highly recommend them to others!

Wow, Glitchy. Not Like Aruba
I’ll start by saying I’ve always had an amazing experience with Aruba, until the 25 specifically. Which I think just needs software refining. Aruba has been unable to figure anything out after a month of testing and zoom calls. And also scanning with a spectrometer. Super glitchy, refuses to roam between AP’s easily. Disconnects clients, intermittent no internet, clients sometimes go “blind” to the SSID’s. Forget about using 160Mhz. They all migrate to one AP or the other. Which is bad, because they’re on separate floors on opposite sides of the house.
