FAQs

Is the MR78 suitable for indoor use?

Yes. Although built for harsh outdoor conditions, its compact form factor works well for warehouses, manufacturing plants and large retail floors that need rugged hardware.

Do I need a license?

Every Meraki AP requires an active cloud license. Choose Enterprise or Advanced Security plus your desired term when purchasing.

What power source should I budget for?

The MR78 draws less than 15 W, so any 802.3af PoE switch or injector is sufficient.

How does MR78 pricing compare in the United States?

authorized resellers typically bundle hardware, license and optional PoE injector. Contact us for current promotional pricing and stock availability.

How far will one MR78 cover?

Coverage depends on environment and client devices, but a single unit can service a medium-sized courtyard or equivalent indoor floor space.
