FAQs

Q: Does the MR46E-HW include antennas?
A: No, the MR46E-HW features external antenna connectors (6x RP-TNC) and requires Meraki antennas to be purchased separately. Compatible antenna options include MA-ANT-3-A6, MA-ANT-3-B6, MA-ANT-3-C6, MA-ANT-3-D6, MA-ANT-3-E6, and MA-ANT-3-F6, each designed for different coverage patterns and deployment scenarios.

Q: What is the difference between the MR46 and MR46E?
A: The MR46 has integrated internal antennas, while the MR46E has external antenna connectors. The MR46E is ideal for deployments requiring customized RF coverage, directional antennas, or challenging RF environments where antenna placement and type need to be optimized for specific spatial layouts.

Q: Is a Meraki license required to operate the MR46E?
A: Yes, a Meraki Enterprise or Advanced license is required for the MR46E to function. The license is purchased on a per-device, per-year basis and includes cloud management, firmware updates, 24/7 monitoring, support, and access to all Meraki Dashboard features. The access point will not operate without an active license.

Q: What power options are available for the MR46E-HW?
A: The MR46E-HW supports 802.3at PoE+ power over the Ethernet port or can be powered via a 12V DC adapter (MA-PWR-30W). For deployments without PoE switches, Meraki offers PoE injectors: MA-INJ-4 for Gigabit and MA-INJ-5 for multigigabit connections.

Q: Can the MR46E support high-density environments?
A: Yes, the MR46E is specifically designed for high-density deployments with 4x4:4 MU-MIMO and OFDMA technology to serve multiple clients simultaneously. The dedicated third radio provides continuous RF optimization and wireless security without impacting client throughput, making it ideal for venues with hundreds of concurrent users.
