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 MR36 Access Point — Supplied and Configured in the UK
Overview
Cisco Meraki MR36 Access Point — Supplied and Configured in the UK
The MR36 is the everyday Wi-Fi 6 access point in the Meraki MR range — dual-band, cloud-managed and licence-bound, with no controller to rack. It suits offices, branches and classrooms where coverage matters more than peak density. We survey before we quote, so you get the count the building needs.

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.

What the MR36 Is Built For
General-purpose indoor coverage: desks, meeting rooms, classrooms and branch floors where clients are spread out rather than packed in. It carries staff, guest and IoT networks on the same radio set, each with its own VLAN and policy.
- Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) dual-band with OFDMA and MU-MIMO
- 2x2 radios — sized for general office and classroom coverage
- Bluetooth Low Energy and IoT radio built in
- Air Marshal WIPS, Layer 7 traffic shaping and cloud management
- Powered over Ethernet from your existing PoE switch
MR36, MR44 or MR46?
All three are Wi-Fi 6 and all three are managed from the same dashboard. The difference is radio capability and how many clients each can hold comfortably.
- MR36 — 2x2 radios, general coverage, the value choice for most offices
- MR44 — 4x4 radios, more capacity per access point for busier floors
- MR46 — 4x4 with a dedicated scanning radio, for genuinely high-density areas
How We Quote and Deliver It
Every MR quote covers the access points, the Enterprise or Advanced licence for the term you want and the mounting and PoE you will actually need on site. Meraki hardware does not run without a current licence, so we never quote it separately.
- Predictive survey from your floor plan before any count is proposed
- Licence term matched and co-terminated with your existing Meraki estate
- Channel, power and SSID plan applied before dispatch
- UK delivery, install support and post-go-live tuning
FAQs
Questions We Are Asked Most
How many users will an MR36 cover?
As a planning figure, comfortable for around 25 to 30 concurrent devices in a typical office. Layout, wall construction and device mix matter more than the headline number, which is why we survey first.
Does the MR36 need a Meraki licence?
Yes. Meraki access points are licence-bound — the dashboard is the controller, and the access point stops being managed once the licence lapses and the grace period ends.
Do we need a wireless controller as well?
No. The Meraki dashboard replaces the controller entirely, so there is no appliance to buy, rack or maintain alongside the access points.
