Installation Instructions

Choose Your Mounting Location

A good mounting location is important to getting the best performance out of your MR70 access point. Keep the
following in mind:
1. The device should have unobstructed line of sight to most coverage areas. For example, if installing in an office
filled with workspaces divided by mid-height cubicle walls, installing on the ceiling or high on a wall would be ideal.
2. Power over Ethernet supports a maximum cable length of 300 ft (100 m).
3. If being used in a mesh deployment, the MR70 should have line of sight to at least two other Meraki devices. A
Cisco Partner can help ensure that your AP placement is ideal.
Install the MR70
For most mounting scenarios, the MR70 mount cradle provides a quick, simple, and flexible means of mounting your
device. The installation should be done in two steps. First, install the mount cradle to your selected location. Then,
attach the MR70 to the mount cradle.
Attach the Mount Cradle
The MR70 mount cradle can be used to install your access point on a wall, solid ceiling, or pole.
