The Cisco Meraki MR20 is an entry-level indoor Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) access point managed from the Meraki Dashboard. It has two client radios, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, each 2x2 MU-MIMO with 2 spatial streams, for a maximum aggregate frame rate of 1.04 Gbps. Integrated omnidirectional antennas give 5.6 dBi of gain on 2.4 GHz and 5.3 dBi on 5 GHz.
The uplink is one Gigabit RJ-45 port. The MR20 runs on standard 802.3af PoE at 37 to 57V, so any PoE switch port can power it, and it also has a 12V DC input (5.5 x 2.5 mm, center positive) for sites without PoE. The PoE injector and DC adapter are sold separately.
The unit measures 7.95 x 4.88 x 1.02 inches and weighs 9.6 oz. All standard mounting hardware is included for desk, wall, or ceiling installs, along with security screws. It suits small offices, retail stores, clinics, and classrooms with light to moderate client counts.
For Wi-Fi 6 in the same compact housing, see the MR28-HW Wi-Fi 6 access point; the MR36-HW adds a dedicated scanning radio. Where the switch has no PoE, the MA-INJ-4-US 802.3at PoE+ injector powers the AP over its Ethernet cable. The access point is sold unclaimed; a Meraki license is required, purchased separately.
This Cisco Meraki MR20-HW access point is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
