The Cisco Meraki MR53 is an indoor Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) access point managed from the Meraki Dashboard. Both client radios are 4x4 MU-MIMO with 4 spatial streams, for an aggregate frame rate of up to 2.5 Gbps, with up to 1,733 Mbps on 5 GHz and 800 Mbps on 2.4 GHz.
A third dual-band radio handles WIDS/WIPS, spectrum analysis, and location analytics, and a fourth radio handles Bluetooth Low Energy beacons and scanning. Integrated omnidirectional antennas give 5.5 dBi of gain on 2.4 GHz and 6.2 dBi on 5 GHz.
It has one 2.5 Gigabit multigigabit RJ-45 port and one Gigabit RJ-45 port, so the uplink is not held to Gigabit on a multigigabit switch. Full function needs 802.3at PoE+, at 21W maximum; 802.3af runs it in a restricted mode. A 12V DC input is also available. The unit measures 10.56 x 6.38 x 1.58 inches and weighs 29.6 oz, and the MA-MNT-MR-9 mount kit is included.
For external antennas, see the MR53E-HW. The MR52-HW has the same radios with two Gigabit ports, and the MR55-HW is the Wi-Fi 6 step up. The access point is sold unclaimed; a Meraki license is required, purchased separately.
This seller refurbished Cisco Meraki MR53-HW access point is tested, working, and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty.
