Cisco Meraki MR42E.
Same Wi-Fi 5 power as the MR42, aimed exactly where you need it.
The MR42E pairs the MR42's 3x3:3 radio chain with external RP-TNC antenna connectors, letting you attach
Meraki-certified panel, patch, or downtilt antennas for directional coverage in warehouses, large open
floors, and other challenging RF environments.

Specifications
MR42E at a Glance
Radios & Antennas
Same quad-radio architecture as the MR42 (3x3:3 MU-MIMO, dedicated WIDS/WIPS radio, BLE radio), but
with external RP-TNC connectors supporting Meraki-certified panel, panel downtilt, wide patch, and
narrow patch antennas (MA-ANT-3 series).
Performance & Capacity
1.9 Gbps aggregate throughput, identical to the MR42 — actual coverage and capacity depend on the
antenna selected and placement.
Design & Deployment
Indoor mount designed for high ceilings and challenging RF environments; 802.3at PoE+ recommended for
full performance.
Management & Security
Configured and monitored through the Meraki cloud dashboard with built-in Air Marshal WIDS/WIPS and BLE
location services.
Not sure the MR42E is the right fit?
Compare it against other access points in the Meraki MR series to find the best match for your
environment.
The MR42E supports 802.11ac Wave 2 (Wi-Fi 5), with a 3x3:3 mu-mimo + scanning + ble
radios radio configuration delivering up to 1.9 gbps aggregate.
Capacity depends on RF environment and channel width, but the MR42E’s radio
design is built to match its target deployment — from light per-room use to high-density venues.
Our engineers can help size your specific site.
The MR42E is designed for indoor mount, external rp-tnc antennas installation. See
the datasheet or installation guide for exact bracket and clearance requirements.
Most MR42E deployments run best on 802.3at (PoE+); some radios or streams may be
reduced on standard 802.3af power. Check the datasheet for the exact power budget.
Like every Meraki access point, the MR42E is provisioned, monitored, and updated
entirely from the cloud-based Meraki dashboard — no on-site controller required.
