About This Product
The Cisco Meraki MR76 is a cloud-managed 2x2:2 802.11ax access point that enhances wireless performance and efficiency. Ideal for modern deployments in offices, schools, hospitals, shops, and hotels, the MR76 offers high throughput, enterprise-grade security, and straightforward management.

The MR76 achieves a maximum aggregate frame rate of 1.5 Gbps* with concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. It features a dedicated third radio for real-time WIDS/WIPS with automated RF optimization, and a fourth integrated radio for Bluetooth scanning and beaconing.

Combining cloud management, high-performance hardware, multiple radios, and advanced software features, the MR76 is an excellent platform for demanding uses, including high-density deployments and applications requiring significant bandwidth or performance, such as voice and high-definition video.

Meraki Cloud Management
The MR76 is managed through the Meraki cloud, featuring an intuitive browser-based interface that allows for quick deployment without extensive training or expensive certifications. Since the MR76 is self-configuring and web-managed, it can be set up remotely within minutes, even without on-site IT staff.

The Meraki cloud provides 24/7 monitoring, offering real-time alerts for any network issues. Remote diagnostic tools enable immediate troubleshooting online, ensuring distributed networks are managed with minimal hassle.

The MR76's firmware is automatically updated via the cloud, delivering new features, bug fixes, and enhancements seamlessly. This eliminates the need for manual software updates or concerns about missing security patches.

Dual–radio aggregate frame rate of up to 1.7 Gbps
The MR76 features 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz radios, each with 2x2:2 configurations, providing a combined dual-radio aggregate frame rate of 1.5 Gbps*. This includes up to 1,201 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 286 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Technologies such as transmit beamforming and enhanced receive sensitivity enable the MR76 to support a higher client density compared to typical enterprise-class access points, resulting in improved performance for more clients per AP.

* Refers to maximum over-the-air data frame rate capability of the radio chipset, and may exceed data rates allowed by IEEE 802.11ax operation.

Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO)
The MR76 leverages 802.11ax features, including MU-MIMO and OFDMA, to enhance transmission efficiency to multiple clients. Ideal for environments with many mobile devices, MU-MIMO allows multiple clients to receive data simultaneously, boosting overall network performance and enhancing the user experience.

Dedicated third radio delivers 24x7 wireless security and RF analytics
The MR76's dedicated dual-band scanning and security radio continuously evaluates the environment, identifying RF interference and mitigating wireless threats such as rogue access points. With a dedicated third radio, there's no need to compromise between wireless security, advanced RF analysis, and client data service all functions operate in real-time without affecting client traffic or AP throughput.

Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon and scanning radio
The MR76 includes an integrated fourth Bluetooth radio, facilitating easy deployment of BLE Beacon functionality and providing clear visibility of Bluetooth devices. This capability supports the development of next-generation location-aware applications and ensures that deployments are future-proof, ready to accommodate new customer engagement strategies.

Automatic cloud-based RF optimisation
The MR76's advanced and automated RF optimization eliminates the need for specialized hardware and RF expertise usually required to fine-tune a wireless network. The dedicated third radio continuously collects RF data and sends it to the Meraki cloud. This data is then utilized to automatically adjust channel selection, transmit power, and client connection settings, ensuring optimal performance even in the most challenging RF environments.

Integrated enterprise security and guest access
The MR76 incorporates user-friendly security technologies to ensure safe connectivity for both employees and guests. It includes advanced security features like AES hardware-based encryption and enterprise authentication with 802.1X and Active Directory integration, offering wired-like security while remaining easy to configure. Additionally, one-click guest isolation provides secure, Internet-only access for visitors, and PCI compliance reports verify network settings against PCI requirements, simplifying secure retail deployments.

Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) & Mobile Device Management (MDM) integration
Meraki Systems Manager seamlessly integrates with the MR76 to provide automatic, context-aware security. Its self-service enrollment feature facilitates rapid MDM deployment without the need for additional hardware, dynamically linking firewall and traffic shaping policies to client posture.

Application-aware traffic shaping
The MR76 features an integrated layer 7 packet inspection, classification, and control engine, allowing for the configuration of QoS policies based on traffic type. This helps prioritize mission-critical applications while limiting recreational traffic such as peer-to-peer and video streaming. Policies can be applied per network, per SSID, per user group, or per individual user, offering maximum flexibility and control.

Voice and video optimisations
The MR76 includes built-in, industry-standard QoS features that are simple to configure. Wireless MultiMedia (WMM) access categories, 802.1p, and DSCP standards support ensure that critical applications are prioritized correctly, both on the MR76 and other network devices. Additionally, Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD) and the new Target Wait Time feature in 802.11ax clients help minimize battery drain on wireless VoIP phones.

Self-configuring, self-maintaining, always up-to-date
When connected, the MR76 automatically links to the Meraki cloud, retrieves its configuration, and joins the designated network. If new firmware is needed, the AP downloads and updates it automatically, ensuring the network stays current with bug fixes, security updates, and new features.

Advanced analytics
Examining network usage in detail offers highly granular traffic analytics. Location analytics can enhance visibility into the physical world through journey tracking. Metrics such as visitor numbers, dwell time, repeat visit rates, and trend tracking can be easily monitored in the dashboard, with deeper analysis facilitated by raw data accessible via simple APIs.
