They are good as an access point. Nothing more. Don't let him fool you into thinking he can do something else. ALSO, DO NOT BUY THIS WITHOUT THE OFFICIAL ARUBA POWER CORD. Because even if you have a 46V wire (because they're pretty darn common, you know?) it won't work. Just power cycle after power cycle. However, when you finally get it, it still disconnects from time to time and enjoys the 30 minute wait until the internet comes back for 5 minutes before cutting out again. There was almost no support for them. So if you haven't invested heavily in Aruba yet, look elsewhere.
