Check the exact MR power requirement
PoE requirements vary by MR model. Some newer access points require PoE+ or PoE++ rather than basic 802.3af. Check the model's documented full-power requirements and the remaining budget on your switch.

Cisco Meraki Access Points — MR Series Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi
Overview
Cisco Meraki Access Points — MR Series Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi
Meraki MR access points are cloud-managed Wi-Fi without a controller to buy, rack or patch. We survey the floor plan before quoting, so you get the number of access points the building needs rather than the number that fits a budget line.

UK buying guide
Before You Buy Cisco Meraki for a UK Site
Compare the exact hardware, licensing and compatibility—not just the product family or headline price.
Coverage, capacity and UK installation
Specify your UK installation address, floor plan, expected client devices, existing switch model and mounting needs. Confirm the exact regional ordering variant and permitted operating country against the selected access point's documentation.
Confirm the licensing model
Meraki documents co-termination and subscription licensing. Co-termination uses an organisation-wide expiry date; subscription licensing is network-bound. Confirm the model used by your Dashboard organisation before choosing a licence or renewal.
What to include in your UK quote request
- Exact model or part number, quantity and whether this is a new site, expansion or replacement.
- UK installation postcode, required date and any existing equipment or management platform.
- Required licence and support term, compatible power supplies, optics, mounting kits and UK power leads where applicable.
- Request an itemised quotation showing hardware, licences, support, delivery and VAT treatment; confirm availability and lead time before ordering.

MR Models and Where They Fit
Access point choice is about client density and radio generation, not square metres. Open-plan offices and classrooms need different coverage from warehouses with high racking.
- MR36 and MR44 — Wi-Fi 6 for offices and general coverage
- MR46 and MR56 — higher density areas, lecture rooms and open floors
- MR57 and CW9166 — Wi-Fi 6E where 6 GHz clients are already in use
- Outdoor and ruggedised models for yards, warehousing and courtyards
Survey Before Purchase
Most poor Wi-Fi is a design problem, not a hardware problem. We survey coverage, interference and client density, then place access points against the plan so you are not adding three more after go-live.
- Predictive survey from the floor plan, on-site survey where needed
- Channel and power plan to avoid self-interference
- Mounting, cabling and PoE budget confirmed before install
Guest, Corporate and IoT SSIDs
One access point can carry separate networks for staff, visitors and devices, each with its own VLAN and policy — so guest traffic never touches business systems.
- Splash-page guest access with bandwidth limits
- 802.1X corporate SSID tied to your directory
- Separate IoT network for cameras, sensors and printers
FAQs
Questions We Are Asked Most
Do Meraki access points need a wireless controller?
No. The dashboard is the controller, so there is no appliance to buy or maintain — but each access point does need a current licence.
How many access points will our office need?
It depends on layout, wall construction and how many devices each person carries. Send us a floor plan and user count and we will give a figure from a predictive survey rather than a guess.
