Meraki MR44 802.11ax 2.93 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point

Designed for modern workspaces and venues that demand premium wireless performance, the Meraki MR44 brings Wi‑Fi 6 power to high‑density environments. This cloud‑managed access point combines robust security, flexible deployment options, and cloud analytics to deliver reliable, scalable connectivity for business‑critical applications. With a four‑radio architecture, multi‑gigabit Ethernet, and integrated threat protection, the MR44 is built to handle the most demanding environments—from sprawling campuses to busy office floors, classrooms, and hospitality spaces—while simplifying operations through the Meraki Dashboard.

  • High‑density Wi‑Fi 6 performance for demanding apps — The MR44 leverages 802.11ax features to maximize capacity in crowded spaces. On the 5 GHz band, it supports 4‑stream UL/DL MU‑MIMO to deliver higher data rates to multiple clients simultaneously, while the 2.4 GHz band uses 2‑stream UL/DL MU‑MIMO to improve reliability for legacy devices. Combined with OFDMA, Target Wake Time, and efficient spectrum use, this AP sustains fast, consistent throughput for video conferencing, cloud applications, and large file transfers even in peak periods.
  • Four‑radio architecture with embedded security — Each MR44 includes four radios, enabling seamless dual‑band operation with powerful protection. It features Embedded WIDS/WIPS for continuous rogue device detection and wireless threat mitigation, reducing risk across the network. Bluetooth support adds location services, beaconing, and IoT integrations, enabling proximity features and streamlined device onboarding without compromising security.
  • Multigigabit connectivity and PoE flexibility — A single Multigigabit Ethernet port up to 2.5 Gbps provides abundant uplink capacity to support high user densities and bandwidth‑hungry applications. Powering is flexible with PoE IEEE 802.3af/at, allowing straightforward deployments on existing PoE switches and simplifying wiring plans across floors and rooms, while minimizing cable clutter and energy use.
  • Cloud‑driven management with advanced analytics — The MR44 is designed for cloud management via the Meraki Dashboard. It delivers zero‑touch provisioning, real‑time client insights, RF optimization suggestions, and centralized policy enforcement. Features like client‑level analytics, interference alerts, and auto‑channel optimization help administrators maintain optimal performance without on‑site visits, making it ideal for distributed networks and multi‑site deployments.
  • Scalability, reliability, and future‑proof design — Built to support performance‑critical wireless LANs, the MR44 scales with your organization. It enables seamless roaming, consistent guest access experiences, and easy integration with Meraki ecosystem tools for policy, security, and device management. Its hardware and software are tuned for long‑term reliability in classrooms, campuses, and busy commercial spaces, ensuring your network remains responsive as user density and application demands grow.
