After some deliberation and review of the forum activity over the years, we’ve decided to sunset the feature from our main site, originally at Aruba.com/forum and encourage you, our forum members, to join one of the many amazing Aruba communities on Facebook.
We are extremely honored with how the group evolved through the years and appreciate all the active discussions and amazing contributions from our members. The forum had its own set of issues through the years, from problematic ones behind the scenes to the unstoppable continuous waves of spam and bots. But it has been one fun ride.
We know that many without Facebook accounts are reluctant to create one just for the purpose of joining a group, but we promise you, the information and love for the island will make it all worth it.
The forum will be no more come April 17th, 2023 and not to worry, we will never share your information with anyone else.
We hope this isn’t too big of a loss and we can keep the Aruba conversation going. You are amazing and “nos stima boso” (we love you all). Pasa un dushi dia.
Visit Aruba
If what has brought you here are your desires to visit the island soon you may find useful information to prepare for your adventure on one of these pages:
An Aruba Instant On AP acts as a network router as well. In short, this means plugging in directly to the Internet right out of the box allows network setup to begin immediately.
If it shows 2.4 GHz as the Band, then it likely means that the driver isn't automatically band-steering to 5 GHz. To fix this issue, go to Device Manager on your laptop and locate your WiFi device under Network Devices. In the Advanced tab, set Preferred Band to 5 Band.
As a result of 2.4 GHz overcrowding and lack of sufficient non-overlapping channels, my suggestion is to leverage 5 GHz as much as possible. Begin with disabling 2.4 GHz radios when channel overlap occurs. Of course, you will want to consult your WLAN design and perform validation after making the changes.
Aruba is one of four countries in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. King Willem-Alexander is the head of state of Aruba. The governor represents the monarch in Aruba. The website of the Aruban government gives information about policy areas for which it has autonomous responsibility, such as education and healthcare.
On March 2, 2015, Hewlett-Packard announced it would acquire Aruba Networks for approximately $3 billion USD. On May 19, 2015, HP completed the acquisition.
The Taino name for the island was Arubeira. The Kalinago also had two names for the island Ora Oubao which means "Shell island" and Oirubae which means "Companion of Curaçao". A common misconception is that the name "Aruba" came from Oro hubo, (Spanish for "There was gold once").
If there is no Band or Preferred Band option available in the wireless adapter properties, you will have to force the change. Search the Property list for an option named VHT 2.4G. If VHT 2.4G is available, set Value to Disable to turn off the 2.4GHz option and force your wireless adapter to switch to 5GHz.
You'd click on the AP for which you want to disable 2.4 GHz, then click the sprocket icon for its settings, then go to the WLAN section, and set the 2.4 GHz radio to disabled.
Regardless, with the newer models, you can disable the 2.4 GHz radio, by going to: AirPort Utility > Select your Extreme > Edit > Wireless tab > Wireless Options > hold down the option key, and then, click on the 2.4 GHz Channel option > Select "Off."
