Installation Instructions

Choose Your Mounting Location

A good mounting location is important to getting the best performance out of your MR42E access point. Keep the
following in mind:
1. The antenna attached to the access point 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 MR42E 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 MR42E
For most mounting scenarios, the MR42E 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 MR42E to the mount cradle.
