MR56 FAQ

What Wi-Fi standard does the MR56 support?

The MR56 supports 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), with a 5ghz 8x8:8 + 2.4ghz 4x4:4 radio configuration delivering up to 5.9 gbps aggregate.

How many devices can the MR56 handle at once?

Capacity depends on RF environment and channel width, but the MR56’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 MR56 support?

The MR56 is designed for indoor mount, built-in 5 gbps port installation. See the datasheet or installation guide for exact bracket and clearance requirements.

Does the MR56 require PoE+?

Most MR56 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 MR56 managed?

Like every Meraki access point, the MR56 is provisioned, monitored, and updated entirely from the cloud-based Meraki dashboard — no on-site controller required.
