Do i need an aruba controller to run these, planning on operating 4 or 5

No. The IAP or Instant Access Point series do not need a controller. The first access point acts as the "so-called" controller. If you have any additional questions, please give us a call at 877-449-0458. - Thanks - Corporate Armor.

Is JW213A the actual part number for this? IAP-205-US is just a description

Chris I beleive JW213A is correct, however there are ZERO markings on the aruba other than "aruba networks" and PWR ENET 5GHz & 2.5GHz indicator light labels. The rear has a 12v 1.5A power inlet, a console port, a security lock point, and a ENET 56V 350mA port. Hope that helps.

what PoE injector is recommended for this unit?

We're using a TP-LINK TL-PoE150S PoE Injector without any troubles. I did notice recently that Aruba makes a POE injector; part number PD-3501G-AC. Also Upbright makes a power adapters for the Aruba APs.

This is a PoE Powered device; however, the AC adapter or PoE injector are sold separately. If you have any questions or need more information, please give us a call. Best Regards,Nick JonesCorporate Armor877.449.0458
