NEW Cisco Meraki MR28-HW Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax Int Ant Unclaimed WAP w/ Mount Plate

The Cisco Meraki MR28 is an entry-level indoor Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point managed from the Meraki Dashboard. It has a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz client radio, each 2x2 MU-MIMO with 2 spatial streams and OFDMA, for an aggregate frame rate of up to 1.5 Gbps, with up to 1,201 Mbps on 5 GHz and 286 Mbps on 2.4 GHz.

A Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5) radio handles beaconing and BLE scanning. The MR28 has no separate scanning radio, so it fits basic and medium-density sites such as small offices, shops, and classrooms. Internal omnidirectional antennas give 5.4 dBi of gain on 2.4 GHz and 6 dBi on 5 GHz.

The uplink is one Gigabit RJ-45 port powered by standard 802.3af PoE at 37 to 57V, with a 15W maximum draw. The unit measures 7.95 x 4.88 x 1.02 inches and weighs 9.6 oz. The mount plate and security screws are included.

For a dedicated scanning radio with the same 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 radios, see the MR36-HW. For 4x4 on 5 GHz and a 2.5GB uplink, the MR44-HW is the step up. Without a PoE switch, the MA-INJ-4-US 802.3at PoE+ injector powers the AP. The access point is sold unclaimed; a Meraki license is required, purchased separately.

This Cisco Meraki MR28-HW access point is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
