Cisco Meraki MR33, MR42, MR52, MR53 Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) Access Points - Refurbished, Used
Cisco Meraki MR33, MR42, MR42E, MR52, MR53 and MR53E Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) access points are the lowest-cost way to add coverage to a Meraki network or keep one running. They cost a fraction of the price of a current Meraki access point, and they still work. NetworkTigers stocks them, along with the MR20, refurbished or used, sold unclaimed, tested by our technicians and backed by a 365-day warranty.
Why buy Wi-Fi 5 now: the price
- Lowest cost per access point. Cover more rooms, floors or sites for the same budget.
- Enough for most low-density spaces. Small offices, warehouses, hotel floors, back rooms and branch sites rarely need Wi-Fi 6 capacity.
- Cheap enough to keep spares on the shelf. Replace a failed unit yourself the same day instead of waiting on an RMA.
- Like-for-like with what you already run. Extend an existing MR33, MR42, MR52 or MR53 network without replanning coverage.
Yes, they work, and we keep checking
These access points still claim into a Meraki dashboard and run. We test this on an ongoing basis against the current Meraki dashboard to confirm it still holds, and every unit is bench tested by our technicians before it ships.
- A newly claimed unit operates for 30 days under Meraki's licensing grace period.
- For continued use, apply a Meraki MR Enterprise license. The MR Enterprise license is not model-specific.
Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6?
Choose Wi-Fi 5 when cost matters most and each access point serves a modest number of devices. Choose Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) for crowded spaces such as classrooms, open offices and venues, where it serves many devices at once more efficiently. For low-cost Wi-Fi 6, see our Cisco Meraki MR45 and MR55 access points.
What Meraki no longer provides
For the MR33, MR42, MR42E, MR52, MR53 and MR53E, Meraki support ended on July 21, 2026. Meraki no longer provides technical support, firmware updates or warranty replacement for these models, and does not guarantee that they will connect to the dashboard indefinitely. The MR20 remains supported by Meraki until June 13, 2028. Our 365-day NetworkTigers warranty covers every unit we sell.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to add Meraki Wi-Fi coverage?
Tested Wi-Fi 5 access points such as the MR33, MR42, MR52 and MR53. They cost a fraction of a current Meraki model and still claim into the Meraki dashboard.
Do these access points still work now that Meraki support has ended?
Yes. They still claim into a Meraki dashboard and run, and we re-test this on an ongoing basis. What ended is Meraki's technical support, firmware updates and warranty replacement.
Is Wi-Fi 5 still good enough?
For spaces with a modest number of devices per access point, yes. Wi-Fi 6 pays off mainly in crowded areas.
Are these units claimed to another Meraki organization?
No. They are sold unclaimed, so you can claim them into your own Meraki dashboard.
