A good mounting location is important to getting the best performance out
of your MR84 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 MR84 should have line of sight to
at least two other Meraki devices. For more detailed instructions
regarding access point location selection, reference the Meraki
Network Design Guide (cisco.meraki.com/support/#documentation).
4. The antennas should be as unobstructed as possible. Make sure that
there is clearance around the MR84 for installation of all of your
chosen antennas.
4.2 Install the MR84
For most mounting scenarios, the MR84 mount plate provides a quick,
simple, and flexible means of mounting your device. The installation should
be done in two steps. First, install the mount plate to your selected location.
Then attach the MR84 to the mount plate.
4.2.1 Remove the Mount Plate from the Access Point
Before installing the mount plate, you must remove it from the back of the
access point.
1. Unscrew the mount plate attachment screw.
2. Lift the mount plate release tab upwards.
3. While holding the mount plate release tab up, slide the mount plate off
the access point.
4.2.2 Attach the Mount Plate
The MR84 mount plate can be used to install your access point in a wide
range of scenarios.
4.2.2.1 Wall or Solid Ceiling Mount Using Mount Plate
Using included wall anchors and screws, attach the mount plate to your
mounting wall or ceiling.
