Cisco Meraki MR44 WiFi 6 Indoor AP

Product Information

The equipment is not for domestic use. The equipment is intended for operation without the constant presence of maintenance personnel. Using a client machine (e.g., a laptop), connect to the AP wirelessly (by associating to any SSID broadcast by the AP) or over a wired connection. Warning:Please ensure that MR44 is connected to an 802.3at-capable (PoE+) switch/powerinjectorduring the initial installation ORensure that the network MR44 is added to is set to MR 27.6firmware (not yet available at the time of writing) or newer firmware. The MR44 provides a maximum of 3 Gbps* aggregate frame rate with concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. A dedicated third radio provides real-time WIDS/ WIPS with automated RF optimization, and a fourth integrated radio delivers Bluetooth scanning and beaconing. Connect the power adapter or PoE. The radio and signal strength LEDs on the AP will turn solid green or blue once the access point boots up and detects the gateway.

The MR44 AP attaches to the mount cradle with two tabs on the cradle that insert into the MR44 AP and is secured to the cradle using one screw.

IanH, both the MR44 and MR46 are upgrade paths for the MR42. As a new deployment I’d definitely be looking at either of these two instead of the MR42. The main advantage is obviously that the new models are Wifi6. The benefit you see from Wifi6 will become more apparent over time as Wifi6 client devices become more common, and so you’ll get better use of the RF spectrum -ultimately better throughput on the devices.

Since the cradle is already mounted to the wall, guide the MR44 AP towards the top tab, and insert the top tab into the MR44 AP’s slot. Do not throw in the device with household waste. The technical equipment is subject to storage and disposal in accordance with the organization's disposal procedure.To mount your AP on a drop ceiling T-rail, use the included drop ceiling mounting accessory kit. The accessory kit can be used to mount to most 9/16”, 15/16” or 1 ½” T-rails. The kit contains:

Industry standard QoS features are built-in and easy to configure. Wireless MultiMedia (WMM) access categories, 802.1p, and DSCP standards support all ensure important applications get prioritized correctly, not only on the MR44, but on other devices in the network. Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD) and new Target Wait Time features in 802.11ax clients ensure minimal battery drain on wireless VoIP phones. If the Ethernet LED does not turn solid green or blue, try swapping the cable. If the Ethernet port still does not turn green or blue, try the second Ethernet port, if the AP has one. The following steps can be used for troubleshooting basic connectivity issues with your access point. Associate to the SSID being broadcasted by the AP. If there are no other APs in the network within range the SSID may be appended with "-scanning".

Overview:

The MR44 provides a maximum of 3 Gbps* aggregate frame rate with concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. A dedicated third radio provides real-time WIDS/WIPS with automated RF optimisation, and a fourth integrated radio delivers Bluetooth scanning and beaconing. Due to the reasons stated above, please do notdowngrade the network with MR44 APs to 27.5/27.5.1 or lower firmware if they are being powered on by 802.3af (PoE) switch/power injector. For additional information on Meraki hardware and for other installation guides, please refer to documentation.meraki.com. monitoring via the Meraki cloud delivers real-time alerts if a network encounters problems. Remote diagnostic tools enable immediate troubleshooting over the web so that distributed networks can be managed with a minimum of hassle.

Industry standard QoS features are built-in and easy to configure. Wireless MultiMedia (WMM) access categories, 802.1p, and DSCP standards support all ensure important applications get prioritised correctly, not only on the MR44, but on other devices in the network. Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD) and new Target Wait Time features in 802.11ax clients ensure minimal battery drain on wireless VoIP phones. Due to the reasons stated above, please do not downgrade the network with MR44 APs to 27.5/27.5.1 or lower firmware if they are being powered on by 802.3af (PoE) switch/power injector.This is because the default MR44 firmware image has support for the low-power mode, however, MR 27.5/27.5.1 or lower firmware does not have low power mode support. Using 802.3af switch/powerinjector with MR44 set to 27.5/27.5.1 or lower firmware might result in unexpected behaviors including but not limited to reboots or degraded performance.
