MR36-HW, Meraki MR36 Access Point, wifi6/2x2/indoor

The Cisco MR36-HW is a cloud-managed indoor access point designed for modern enterprise and campus Wi‑Fi 6 deployments. This Cisco access point delivers high-efficiency wireless coverage for offices, schools, healthcare, hospitality, and retail sites across Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. With dual-concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios, 2x2 MU-MIMO with OFDMA, and support for IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax, the MR36-HW is built to handle dense client environments and real-time applications such as voice and video. Cloud-based management via the Cisco Meraki dashboard simplifies configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting for distributors, small and midsize integrators, and IT teams, reducing on-site labor and speeding up rollouts.

The MR36-HW offers an aggregate data rate of up to 1.7 Gbps across both bands, supported by integrated omni-directional antennas that provide consistent indoor coverage without external antenna planning. It can serve up to 1,000 simultaneous clients, making it suitable for high-density classrooms, open-plan offices, and public areas. Power is supplied via 802.3af PoE (Class 3) or an optional 12 V DC adapter, giving flexibility for different wiring conditions in new builds and retrofit projects. Typical power consumption is only 11.5 W, helping control energy costs while still allowing advanced features when needed.

Security is built in, with WPA2-PSK, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA3, and 802.1X authentication, plus cloud-managed firewall and traffic shaping to separate guest and corporate networks. This helps partners and end users meet security and compliance needs without complex local controllers. The low-profile, plenum-rated enclosure and included ceiling or wall mounting kit support clean installation in offices and public buildings, while an operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C and 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity makes the MR36-HW suitable for a wide range of indoor environments. With global regulatory compliance (region dependent), the MR36-HW can be deployed in multi-country projects with a consistent hardware platform and centralized cloud control.
