Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki MR Wireless Access Points

We do use Cisco Meraki MR Wireless Access Points for our customers in many kind of environments. From office, manufacture, healthcare, production, warehousing and more, we’ve used MR (Meraki Radio) in all these. Since there’s a wide offer of models, these can fit in everywhere. Of course the MR are now less chosen due to the hardware changing.

Pros

  • Specifications
  • Many different types/choises
  • External and internal antenna’s

Cons

  • Advanced RRM missing
  • Advanced RF settings missing
  • More limited troubleshooting
  • Reliable dashboard
  • Reliable hardware
  • Good performance
The Cisco Meraki MR Wireless Access Points and Meraki overall is made for ease of use and deployment. I haven’t worked with many vendors that have such a good and fluent way of onboarding, configuring of access points. This is made for professionals but also people with less knowledge, so they can easily monitor or even add extra access points.
The Cisco Meraki MR Wireless Access Points are managed through the Meraki Dashboard and they both work perfectly together. It all works very fluent and onboarding, configuring, maintaining and monitoring is very easy for everyone. The dashboard gets more and more updates in terms of config and visibility, so the future looks even more bright.
For all our customers that have multi sites and need a reliable and easy manageable tool, we always recommend Cisco Meraki and their Cisco Meraki MR Wireless Access Points. Cisco really hits their goal with these products and has a wide offer in different kind of access points. For everyone’s needs depending on the type of scope.
Nowadays the catalyst and meraki hardware became one. You can use C9100 series access points and use them in the WLC or in Meraki dashboard, giving a lot of flexibility and options for customers. You can also migrate from and to the WLC and the process itself is very easy to use.

Since the access points are now catalyst/meraki, there is less need for Cisco Meraki MR Wireless Access Points. Unless you chose for MR specific, but nowadays I advance buying the C916x or C917x series to be more future proof and the possibility to go the Catalyst when needed. There is more flexibility.
