About the Cisco Meraki MR36 Wi-Fi 6 Access Point

Deploy the Cisco Meraki MR36 Wi-Fi 6 Access Point (MR36-HW) in high-density office environments where concurrent dual-band coverage and enterprise-grade security are non-negotiable. This compact indoor access point delivers simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless service with maximum aggregate throughput up to 1.7 Gbps, making it ideal for network engineers and IT procurement teams standardizing on Wi-Fi 6 infrastructure across distributed facilities.

The MR36-HW features dual-band 2x2:2 MU-MIMO radios—delivering up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and up to 1.2 Gbps on 5 GHz—with full OFDMA support for both uplink and downlink traffic. Cisco's integrated security radio provides real-time WIDS/WIPS scanning, while WPA3, WPA2, 802.1X, and WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode encryption protect sensitive data. The access point connects via a single 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet uplink and draws just 15.4W maximum power through 802.3at PoE, simplifying deployment in existing ceiling or wall-mounted infrastructures. Cloud-based management through the Cisco Meraki dashboard enables centralized monitoring and policy enforcement across your entire wireless estate.

Deployment Scenarios

  • Medium-to-large office suites requiring concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz coverage with IEEE 802.11ax performance
  • Enterprise campuses needing dedicated WIDS/WIPS threat detection integrated into every access point
  • Organizations migrating from legacy 802.11ac to Wi-Fi 6 while maintaining backward compatibility with 802.11a/b/g/n devices
  • PoE-powered deployments where 15.4W maximum draw reduces infrastructure overhead on existing UPS and switching systems
  • High-density meeting spaces and collaborative areas where OFDMA uplink and downlink efficiency maximizes user density per radio
