Choose Your Mounting Location

A good mounting location is important to getting the best performance out of your MR76 access point. Keep the following in mind:
1. The device should have unobstructed line of sight to most coverage areas.
2. Power over Ethernet supports a maximum cable length of 300 ft (100 m).
3. If being used in a mesh deployment, the MR76 should have line of sight to at least two other Meraki devices.
4. The antennas should be as unobstructed as possible. Make sure that there is clearance around the MR76 for
installation of all of your chosen antennas.
Install the MR76
For most mounting scenarios, the MR76 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 MR76 to the mount cradle.
