Deploy the Cisco Meraki MR42-HW wireless access point to deliver high-density enterprise connectivity across office, campus, and indoor enterprise environments where concurrent client support and cloud-managed simplicity are essential. This dual-band access point from Cisco combines IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wave 2 standards with intelligent radio architecture to serve demanding wireless workloads without the complexity of traditional controllers.
The MR42-HW features a maximum aggregate data rate of 1.9 Gbps, distributed across a 5 GHz radio delivering up to 1.3 Gbps with 3x3 MIMO and three spatial streams, and a 2.4 GHz radio reaching 600 Mbps with 2x2 MIMO and two spatial streams. A dedicated third radio handles WIDS/WIPS scanning and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity, enabling security monitoring and IoT integration simultaneously. The access point supports up to 15 SSIDs per device, MU-MIMO on 5 GHz, and beamforming for optimized coverage. Security is delivered through WPA2-Enterprise and WPA2-Personal authentication, 802.1X support, MAC-based access control, and a stateful Layer 3–7 firewall built into the cloud dashboard. Cisco Meraki's cloud-managed architecture eliminates the need for onsite controllers, centralizing policy and visibility through a single Cisco Meraki cloud dashboard accessible from anywhere. The MR42-HW connects via a single Gigabit Ethernet uplink port supporting 802.3at PoE+, or alternatively via a DC power adapter sold separately. Internal omni-directional antennas and included mounting hardware support both ceiling and wall installations, with operating conditions rated from 0°C to 40°C and humidity tolerance of 5% to 95% non-condensing.
Network engineers and IT procurement teams select the MR42-HW for its combination of enterprise-grade security, cloud manageability, and reliable performance in mixed-use environments.

The Cisco Meraki MR MR42-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 MR42-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.
