Two-Radio, Dual-Band, Outdoor/Rugged 802.11n Access Point
No Longer Available - Replaced by MR74
The MR66 is an enterprise class,
dual-concurrent 802.11n cloud managed access point designed for
high-density deployments in harsh outdoor locations and
industrial indoor environments. The MR66 features
dual-concurrent, dual-band operation and advanced 802.11n
technologies such as MIMO and beam forming, delivering the high
capacity, throughput and reliable coverage required by the most
demanding business applications, even in harsh environments.
MR66 and the Meraki Cloud Controller:
A Powerful Combination
The MR66 is managed through the
Enterprise Cloud Controller, with an intuitive browser-based
interface that lets you get up and running quickly without
training or certifications. Since the MR66 is self-configuring
and managed over the web, it can even be deployed at a remote
location without on-site IT staff.
The MR66 is monitored 24x7 from the Meraki
Enterprise Cloud Controller which delivers real-time alerts if
your network encounters problems. Remote diagnostics tools also
enable real-time troubleshooting over the web.
The MR66’s firmware is always kept up to date
from the cloud. New features, bug fixes, and enhancements are
delivered seamlessly over the web, so you never have to manually
download software updates or worry about missing security
patches.
Recommended Uses
Outdoor coverage for high client density
corporate campuses, educational institutions, and parks
- Provide high-speed access to a large
number of clients
- Point-to-multi-point mesh
Indoor coverage for industrial areas (e.g.,
warehouses, manufacturing facilities)
- Reliable coverage for scanner guns,
security cameras, and POS devices
- High speed-access for iPads, tablets and
laptops
Long distance point-to-point
- Build a long-distance bridge between two
networks
- Two MR66s can establish up to a 20 km
link using high-gain antennas
Features
Dual enterprise class 802.11n radios,
up to 600 Mbit/sec
The MR66 features two powerful radios and
advanced RF design for enhanced receive sensitivity. Combined
with 802.11n technologies including MIMO and beamforming, the
MR66 delivers up to 600 Mbit/sec throughput and up to 50%
increased capacity compared to typical rugged enterprise-class
802.11g access points, meaning fewer access points are required
for a given deployment. In addition, dual-concurrent 802.11n
radios and band steering technology allow the MR66 to
automatically serve legacy 802.11b/g clients using the 2.4 GHz
radio and newer 802.11n clients using the 5 GHz radio, thus
providing maximum speed to all clients.
Rugged industrial design
The MR66 is designed and tested for salt
spray, vibration, extreme thermal conditions, shock and dust and
is IP67-rated, making it ideal for extreme environments. Despite
its rugged design, the MR66 has a low profile and is easy to deploy.
Application-aware traffic shaping
The MR66 includes an integrated layer 7 packet
inspection, classification, and control engine, enabling you to
set QoS policies based on traffic type. Prioritize your mission
critical applications, while setting limits on recreational
traffic, e.g. peer-to-peer and video streaming.
Automatic cloud-based RF optimization
with spectrum analysis
The MR66’s sophisticated, automated RF
optimization means that there is no need for the dedicated
hardware or RF expertise typically required to tune a wireless
network. An integrated spectrum analyzer monitors the airspace
for neighboring WiFi devices as well as non-802.11 interference
– microwave ovens, Bluetooth headsets, etc. The Meraki Cloud
Controller then automatically optimizes the MR66’s channel
selection, transmit power, and client connection settings,
providing optimal performance even under challenging RF
conditions.
Integrated enterprise security and
guest access
The MR66 features integrated,
easy-to-configure security technologies to provide secure
connectivity for employees and guests alike. Advanced security
features such as AES hardware based encryption and
WPA2-Enterprise authentication with 802.1X and Active Directory
integration provide wire-like security with the convenience of
wireless mobility. One-click guest isolation provides secure,
Internet-only access for visitors. The Meraki policy firewall
(Identity Policy Manager) enables group-based, granular access
policy control.
High performance mesh
The MR66’s advanced mesh technologies like
multi-channel routing protocols and multiple gateway support
enable scalable, high throughput coverage of hard-to-wire areas
with zero configuration. Mesh also improves network reliability
- in the event of a switch or cable failure, the MR66 will
automatically revert to mesh mode, providing continued gateway
connectivity to clients.
Self-configuring, self-optimizing,
self-healing
When plugged in, the MR66 automatically
connects to the Meraki Enterprise Cloud Controller, downloads
its configuration, and joins your network. It self optimizes,
determining the ideal channel, transmit power, and client
connection parameters. It also self heals, responding
automatically to switch failures and other errors.
Low profile, environmentally friendly
design
In addition to eliminating excess packaging
and documentation, 90% of the access point materials are
recyclable. A maximum power draw of only 10.5 watts and a
cloud-hosted, multi-tenant controller mean that pollution,
material utilization and your electric bill are kept to a
minimum.

5 GHz, 14 dBi, Sector Antenna, ANT-11
 Designed for use with MR66 5 GHz radios.
The sector antenna can extend the range of an MR66 Access Point by focusing the
wireless signal in a specific direction; the best way to establish a medium
distance point-to-point wireless link.
Extended Range
The MR66 Directional antennas focus wireless signals in a particular direction
by creating a co-polarization pattern. Typically, you'll be able to extend the
reach of a radio by up to 2.5x in a particular direction.
Easy to Mount
The antenna comes with everything you need for a pole or wall mount, and is
suitable for indoor or outdoor use. 2 cables with N-Type connectors are
