Aerohive AP370 802.11ac/n Dual Radio 3x3 MIMO Wireless Access Point | 3mth Wty

Aerohive AP370 — Dual-Band 802.11ac Enterprise Wi-Fi Access Point

The Aerohive AP370 is a certified refurbished enterprise-class 802.11ac dual-band access point delivering up to 1750 Mbps combined throughput. Powered by HiveOS — Aerohive's cooperative routing protocol — it provides enterprise-grade wireless reliability without the cost or complexity of a dedicated controller. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

• No controller required: HiveOS cooperative routing lets APs self-organise, share policies between neighbours, and eliminate single points of failure — reducing infrastructure cost significantly.
• 802.11ac Wave 1 performance: 5GHz radio at 1300 Mbps plus simultaneous 2.4GHz at 450 Mbps — 1750 Mbps combined for high-density client environments.
• 3×3:3 MIMO on both bands: Three spatial streams per radio maximise throughput for multi-antenna clients and improve range in multi-wall office environments.
• Flexible PoE power: Single Gigabit PoE input (802.3af/at) for cable-clean installations, plus optional 12V DC for non-PoE switch environments.
• Enterprise security built in: WPA2-Personal and WPA2-Enterprise, 802.1X with RADIUS, dynamic VLAN assignment, and per-SSID firewall policies.
• Up to 16 SSIDs: Segment staff, guest, IoT, and management traffic onto separate VLANs from a single AP — reducing hardware cost per deployment.

Performance in Use

In medium-density office environments of 20 to 60 concurrent clients per AP, the AP370 handles mixed 802.11ac and 802.11n devices without visible congestion. The 5GHz band automatically services modern laptops and smartphones that support 802.11ac, while the 2.4GHz radio accommodates legacy devices and IoT sensors requiring greater range. HiveOS dynamically balances clients between radios and neighbouring APs, eliminating the manual load-balancing that consumes IT time on controller-based systems.

Warehouse and retail deployments benefit from the AP370's dual Ethernet ports. The secondary Gigabit port can function as a wired LAN downlink, allowing the AP to backhaul both wireless clients and a nearby PoE device — such as an IP camera or printer — without running a second cable drop. The USB 2.0 port supports optional Aerohive Bluetooth or IoT accessories where required.

For cloud-managed deployments, the AP370 is compatible with HiveManager NG and Extreme Networks' ExtremeCloud IQ platform. Centralised configuration templates, RF heat maps, and client diagnostics are accessible from any browser — no on-premises management infrastructure needed. Adding AP370 units to an existing ExtremeCloud IQ network is straightforward for organisations already running Aerohive or Extreme hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AP370 require a dedicated wireless controller?

No — HiveOS cooperative routing enables APs to self-organise and share configuration with each other, eliminating any need for a dedicated hardware controller. You can optionally manage them via HiveManager NG or ExtremeCloud IQ cloud platform for centralised visibility.

What PoE switch do I need?

Any 802.3af or 802.3at compliant PoE switch will power the AP370. 802.3af provides up to 15.4W and 802.3at (PoE+) provides up to 30W. If your switch does not support PoE, you can use an optional 12V DC power adapter instead.

Is the AP370 compatible with ExtremeCloud IQ?

Yes — Aerohive was acquired by Extreme Networks in 2019. AP370 units can be added to ExtremeCloud IQ (the successor to HiveManager NG). Note that some advanced IQ Engine features are designed for current-generation APs — check Extreme Networks documentation for specific feature compatibility.

How many clients can each AP370 handle?

The AP370 supports 200+ simultaneous associations. In practice, 20–60 active data clients per AP delivers the best per-client throughput. As with all 802.11ac Wave 1 hardware, throughput per client decreases as density increases.

What is included in the box?

The AP370 unit and ceiling/wall mount bracket are included. You will need to supply a PoE switch or 12V DC power adapter and your own Ethernet cable.

What are the shipping costs?
