MR36H Datasheet
High Performance 802.11ax Wireless
The Cisco Meraki MR36H is a Dual-band, 802.11ax 2x2:2 Wall Switch Access Point with dedicated security, wired access ports and RF management radio as
well as an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy beacon and scanning radio.
The MR36H provides a maximum of 1.7 Gbps* aggregate frame rate with concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. A dedicated third radio provides real-time
WIDS/WIPS with automated RF optimization, and a fourth integrated radio delivers Bluetooth scanning and beaconing as well as IoT solutions.
With the combination of cloud management, high performance hardware, multiple radios, and advanced software features, the MR36H makes an outstanding
platform for the most demanding of uses—including high-density deployments and bandwidth or performance-intensive applications like voice and high-definition
video.
MR36H and Meraki Cloud Management
Management of the MR36H is performed through the Meraki cloud, with an intuitive browser-based interface that enables rapid deployment without time-
consuming training or costly certifications. Because the MR36H is self-configuring and managed over the web, it can be deployed at a remote location in a
matter of minutes, even without on-site IT staff.
1
24x7 monitoring via the Meraki cloud delivers real-time alerts if a network encounters problems. Remote diagnostic tools enable immediate troubleshooting over
the web so that distributed networks can be managed with a minimum of hassle.
The MR36H’s firmware is automatically kept up to date via the cloud. New features, security fixes, and enhancements are delivered seamlessly over the web.
This means no manual software updates to download or missing security patches to worry about.

Features
Dual-radio aggregate frame rate of up to 1.7 Gbps*
5 GHz 2x2:2 radio and 2.4 GHz 2x2:2 radio offer a combined dual-radio aggregate frame rate of 1.7 Gbps*, with up to 1,201 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 573
Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Technologies like transmit beamforming and enhanced receive sensitivity allow the MR36H to support a higher client density than
typical enterprise-class access points, resulting in better performance for more clients, from each 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)
With support for features of 802.11ax, the MR36H offers MU-MIMO and UL/DL OFDMA for more efficient transmission to multiple clients. Especially suited to
environments with numerous mobile devices, MU-MIMO enables multiple clients to receive data simultaneously. This increases the total network performance
and improves the end-user experience.
Dedicated third radio delivers 24x7 wireless security and RF analytics
The MR36H’s dedicated dual-band scanning and security radio continually assesses the environment, characterizing RF interference and containing wireless
threats like rogue access points. There’s no need to choose between wireless security, advanced RF analysis, and serving client data - a dedicated third radio
means that all functions occur in real-time, without any impact to client traffic or AP throughput.
Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon and scanning radio
An integrated fourth Bluetooth radio provides seamless deployment of BLE Beacon functionality and effortless visibility of Bluetooth devices. The MR36H
enables the next generation of location-aware applications while future proofing deployments, ensuring it’s ready for any new customer engagement strategies.
Automatic cloud-based RF optimization
The MR36H’s sophisticated and automated RF optimization means that there is no need for the dedicated hardware and RF expertise typically required to tune
a wireless network. The RF data collected by the dedicated third radio is continuously fed back to the Meraki cloud. This data is then used to automatically tune
2
the channel selection, transmit power, and client connection settings for optimal performance under even the most challenging RF conditions.
Integrated enterprise security and guest access
The MR36H features integrated, easy-to-use security technologies to provide secure connectivity for employees and guests alike. Advanced security features
such as AES hardware-based encryption and Enterprise authentication with 802.1X and Active Directory integration provide wired-like security while still being
easy to configure. One-click guest isolation provides secure, Internet-only access for visitors. PCI compliance reports check network settings against PCI
requirements to simplify secure retail deployments.
Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) & Mobile Device Management (MDM) integration
Meraki Systems Manager natively integrates with the MR36H to offer automatic, context-aware security. Systems Manager’s self-service enrollment helps to
rapidly deploy MDM without installing additional equipment, and then dynamically tie firewall and traffic shaping policies to client posture.
Application-aware traffic shaping
The MR36H includes an integrated layer 7 packet inspection, classification, and control engine, enabling the configuration of QoS policies based on traffic type,
helping to prioritize mission-critical applications while setting limits on recreational traffic like peer-to-peer and video streaming. Policies can be implemented per
network, per SSID, per user group, or per individual user for maximum flexibility and control.
Voice and video optimizations
Industry standard QoS features are built-in and easy to configure. Wireless MultiMedia (WMM) access categories, 802.1p, and DSCP standards support all
ensure important applications get prioritized correctly, not only on the MR36H but on other devices in the network. Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery
(U-APSD) and new Target Wait Time features in 802.11ax clients ensure minimal battery drain on wireless VoIP phones.
Self-configuring, self-maintaining, always up-to-date
When plugged in, the MR36H automatically connects to the Meraki cloud, downloads its configuration, and joins the appropriate network. If new firmware is
required, this is retrieved by the AP and updated automatically. This ensures the network is kept up-to-date with bug fixes, security updates, and new features.
Advanced analytics
Drilling down into the details of network usage provides highly granular traffic analytics. Visibility into the physical world can be enhanced with journey tracking
through location analytics. Visitor numbers, dwell time, repeat visit rates, and track trends can all be easily monitored in the dashboard and deeper analysis is
enabled with raw data available via simple APIs.
Pass-through port.
MR36H has a unique port which is called Pass-through port, which links directly the second port on the back in the first physical port on the bottom of the Access
point. This ports works similar to an extension cord, meaning it will physically link the input of the back port to the output of the bottom first port.
Pass-though port it is a physical extension of the lower back port.
