Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does the MR46-HW require a cloud subscription?

Yes, an active Meraki cloud management license is required to configure and operate the access point.

Can I power the device without PoE?

Yes, you can use an optional 12V DC power adapter if your network infrastructure does not support PoE.

What is the primary benefit of the third radio?

The third radio is dedicated to security scanning (WIDS/WIPS) and RF management, allowing it to optimize performance without interrupting client traffic.

Does this model support Wi-Fi 6?

Yes, the MR46 supports 802.11ax, also known as Wi-Fi 6.

Can I use the MR46 outdoors?

No, this is an indoor access point. Please refer to the Meraki outdoor series for weather-hardened models.

Troubleshooting

Access point fails to join the network dashboard

Ensure the device has a valid IP address from a DHCP server and that firewall rules permit outbound traffic to the Meraki cloud on UDP port 7351 and TCP port 443.

Device is not powering on via PoE

Verify the switch port is providing 802.3at (PoE+) power, as standard 802.3af (PoE) may be insufficient for full MR46 functionality.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed 2.5 Gbps Ethernet backhaul
  • Advanced RF optimization and spectrum management
  • Easy deployment with cloud-based provisioning
  • Granular Layer 7 traffic shaping and application control
  • Robust enterprise security with guest isolation

Cons

  • Requires an active subscription for cloud management
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) or optional adapter required
  • More complex feature set may require administrative training

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Deployment is simplified through the Meraki cloud dashboard. Once connected to a 802.3at PoE source or the optional 12V DC power adapter, the unit automatically contacts the cloud to download its configuration.

Compatibility: The device supports standard WPA/WPA2-Enterprise/PSK security protocols and integrates easily into existing VLAN environments. The 2.5 Gbps port is backward compatible with 100/1000 Mbps speeds.

Care: The unit is designed for indoor use. Maintain an operating temperature between 0 and 40 °C. The chassis can be wiped with a clean, dry cloth; do not use liquid cleaners or solvents on the exterior. Ensure the mounting area allows for adequate airflow to prevent overheating.
