Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Cisco Meraki MR28 used for?

The MR28 is a cloud-managed indoor Wi-Fi 6 access point designed for reliable business wireless in small offices, retail stores, hospitality venues, and educational settings. It’s perfect for organisations needing secure, high-performance connectivity with easy remote management.

Is the MR28 suitable for high-density environments?

The MR28 is ideal for low to moderate-density deployments. For high-density locations like lecture halls or large open-plan offices, consider upgrading to models like the MR44 or MR46, which offer higher throughput and more radio streams.

Do I need a licence to use the MR28?

Yes. A valid Cisco Meraki MR Enterprise or Advanced licence is required to operate the MR28. This licence enables cloud management, technical support, firmware updates, and access to Meraki’s full feature set.

What’s the difference between MR28 and MR36?

Both are 2×2:2 Wi-Fi 6 indoor access points, but the MR36 offers slightly higher throughput and more advanced radio tuning for general-purpose use. The MR28 is a more affordable entry-level option for smaller business environments.

Can I power the MR28 with a standard wall plug?

The MR28 is powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet). If your network switch doesn’t support PoE, you can use the compatible Cisco MA-PWR-30W-AU power adaptor (sold separately in Australia).
