MR42 FAQ

What Wi-Fi standard does the MR42 support?

The MR42 supports 802.11ac Wave 2 (Wi-Fi 5), with a 3x3:3 mu-mimo + scanning + ble radios radio configuration delivering up to 1.9 gbps aggregate.

How many devices can the MR42 handle at once?

Capacity depends on RF environment and channel width, but the MR42’s radio design is built to match its target deployment — from light per-room use to high-density venues. Our engineers can help size your specific site.

What mounting options does the MR42 support?

The MR42 is designed for indoor ceiling mount, internal antennas installation. See the datasheet or installation guide for exact bracket and clearance requirements.

Does the MR42 require PoE+?

Most MR42 deployments run best on 802.3at (PoE+); some radios or streams may be reduced on standard 802.3af power. Check the datasheet for the exact power budget.

How is the MR42 managed?

Like every Meraki access point, the MR42 is provisioned, monitored, and updated entirely from the cloud-based Meraki dashboard — no on-site controller required.
