FAQs

Q: Does the MR57 require a license to operate?
A: Yes, all Meraki access points require a Meraki cloud license on a per-device, per-year basis. The MR57-HW is sold as unclaimed hardware and requires separate purchase of a Meraki Enterprise license to activate and manage the device.

Q: What is the difference between Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E?
A: Wi-Fi 6E extends Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) into the new 6 GHz spectrum band, providing additional channels that increase throughput and reduce interference. The 6 GHz band is exclusive to Wi-Fi 6E devices, eliminating competition from legacy devices and enabling full bandwidth utilization for compatible clients.

Q: Can the MR57 operate in dual 5 GHz mode instead of tri-band?
A: Yes, the MR57 features a software-defined flex radio that can be toggled between 5 GHz and 6 GHz operation via the Meraki Dashboard. This allows deployment in either dual 5 GHz configuration or true tri-band mode depending on client device compatibility and spectrum requirements.

Q: What are the benefits of dual Ethernet ports on the MR57?
A: The dual 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports support link aggregation for higher throughput, high availability for automatic failover, and power sharing where both ports can supply PoE to the access point. This provides deployment flexibility and enhanced reliability for mission-critical networks.

Q: What power options are supported for the MR57?
A: The MR57 supports 802.3at PoE+ and 802.3bt PoE++ with a maximum power consumption of 40W. Minimum power requirement is 30W via PoE+ with USB disabled. Alternative power options include a 54V DC adapter (MA-PWR-50WAC) or PoE injector (MA-INJ-6), sold separately.
