MR44-HW, Meraki MR44 Access Point, wifi6/4x4/indoor

The Cisco MR44-HW is an indoor Wi‑Fi 6 access point designed for business and campus networks that need reliable, high-density wireless coverage. This Cisco Meraki access point supports dual‑radio 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operation with 2x2:2 MU‑MIMO on each radio, delivering an aggregate PHY data rate of up to 1.7 Gbps for offices, schools, hospitality, and healthcare environments across Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. With integrated omnidirectional antennas and compact indoor plastic enclosure, the MR44-HW fits cleanly on ceilings or walls while providing strong signal coverage in open spaces and multi-room floorplans.

Engineered for cloud management, the MR44-HW connects to the Cisco Meraki dashboard, where IT teams, distributors, and small system integrators can configure SSIDs, security policies, and traffic shaping from a single web-based console. This cloud-managed access point simplifies multi-site rollouts, reduces on‑site visits, and gives partners a clear way to monitor performance and uptime for their customers. For end users, this means consistent wireless experience for video conferencing, collaboration apps, and mobile devices without complex local controllers.

The MR44-HW supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax and 802.11w, enabling a smooth upgrade from older Wi‑Fi standards while taking advantage of Wi‑Fi 6 efficiency in dense environments. 802.3at PoE+ support allows the access point to be powered over a single Ethernet cable, with typical power consumption up to 22W, making it easy to deploy in locations where AC outlets are limited. Backward compatibility with 802.3af is available with reduced performance, which can help in legacy PoE environments or cost-sensitive projects.

Security is built in with support for WPA2‑Enterprise, WPA3, 802.1X, WPA2‑PSK, and WPA3‑Enterprise (where supported), along with rogue AP detection to help protect the wireless edge. This mix of enterprise-grade encryption and authentication options allows organizations to meet different compliance needs in various regions, including FCC, IC, CE, and RoHS requirements where applicable. For distributors and integrators, these capabilities help position the MR44-HW as a secure, future-ready access point for modern enterprise networks and managed service offerings.

The MR44-HW operates from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) with 5% to 95% non‑condensing humidity, matching typical indoor conditions in offices and commercial buildings worldwide. Whether you are extending coverage in a growing branch, designing a new campus WLAN, or standardizing on a cloud-managed platform, this Cisco Meraki access point offers a practical balance of performance, management simplicity, and security features suitable for a wide range of professional deployments.
