Long Story short.
In my room there is a Ethernet cable that is currently connected to Aruba WiFi access point. model says APIN0205. My goal is to get cable connection to laptop. What I want to do:

Connect Ethernet cable to router.
Connect said router to Aruba device and one or more laptops

Can this be done? Can I get a cabled connection with such manipulations? If so, will there still be WiFi signal?

If this description is not enough, here is an illustration

Should be doable if you have the necessary network and router access rights.

As I understand your intent the green wire (from a router or switch) should go to a LAN port on your room router as will both blue wires.

Aruba should have a static IP, your network submask, and have DHCP turned off.

Start with this tutorial from within this forum:

There are other such tutorials and there should be direct guidance via the Aruba User Guide/Manual.
