The Cisco Meraki MR18-HW access point features a single 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet uplink with 802.3af Power over Ethernet, enabling flexible deployment without dedicated AC power infrastructure. This low-profile indoor access point is engineered for enterprise networks where wired backhaul simplicity and cloud-managed operations are non-negotiable requirements.
The MR18-HW delivers simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz using 2x2 MIMO architecture with two spatial streams per band, achieving a maximum aggregate throughput of 300 Mbps under IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standards. A dedicated third radio provides real-time wireless intrusion detection and prevention (WIDS/WIPS) without impacting client performance. Cisco Meraki's cloud dashboard eliminates the need for on-premise controllers, centralizing management across your entire wireless footprint. Security is enforced through WPA2-Enterprise (802.1X), WPA2-Personal, and WEP encryption, with support for up to 15 SSIDs per access point. Network engineers and IT procurement teams will appreciate the included ceiling and wall mounting hardware, operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C, and the controller-free architecture that reduces total cost of ownership.

The Cisco Meraki MR MR18-HW Cisco Meraki wireless access point is enterprise networking hardware for data-center, campus, and branch deployments. Common roles include core/distribution switching, server uplinks, top-of-rack fabric, and edge connectivity in mixed Cisco/Juniper/Arista environments.
The Cisco Meraki MR MR18-HW Cisco Meraki wireless access point interoperates with standard switching protocols (LACP, MLAG/VPC, 802.1Q, OSPF/BGP). For specific cross-vendor scenarios — Cisco-to-Arista MLAG peering, fabric integration with Cumulus/SONiC, or migration from legacy Catalyst — our network engineers map a compatibility plan as part of the RFQ.
