MR42E FAQ

What Wi-Fi standard does the MR42E support?

The MR42E 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 MR42E handle at once?

Capacity depends on RF environment and channel width, but the MR42E’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 MR42E support?

The MR42E is designed for indoor mount, external rp-tnc antennas installation. See the datasheet or installation guide for exact bracket and clearance requirements.

Does the MR42E require PoE+?

Most MR42E 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 MR42E managed?

Like every Meraki access point, the MR42E is provisioned, monitored, and updated entirely from the cloud-based Meraki dashboard — no on-site controller required.
