How we checked
The official HPE Networking Instant On AP32 product page (access-point-32.html) confirmed model identity (AP32, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6E) and supplied the technical spec table used here: max data rate 3.6 Gbps, 2x2 MIMO, 2.5 GbE uplink, PoE in 802.3bt/802.3at at 12.9W (PoE), 75 recommended active devices, and 520g weight. The TapeandMedia.com retailer page corroborated the exact US model (SKU S1T22A) as Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E, Indoor install location, and Internal antenna, and listed the MSRP of $361.00. Because the HPE store buy page returned no usable price, the price is taken from the retailer's stated MSRP; weight uses the manufacturer's 520g rather than the retailer's shipping weight.
