Cisco Meraki MR20 – wireless access point MR20-HW

Aggregate data rate of up to 1.3 Gbps

A 5 GHz 2×2:2 radio supporting 80 MHz channel widths and a 2.4 GHz 2×2:2 radio supporting 40 MHz channel widths offer a combined dual-radio aggregate frame rate of 1.3 Gbps, with up to 866 Mbps in the 5 GHz band thanks to 802.11ac Wave 2 and 400 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.

Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO)

With support for the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, the MR20 offers MU-MIMO for more efficient transmission to multiple clients. This increases the total network performance and improves the end-user experience.

Integrated enterprise security and guest access

The MR20 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 WPA2-Enterprise authentication with 802.1X provide wire-like security while still being easy to configure. One-click guest isolation provides secure, Internet-only access for visitors.

Secure wireless environments using Air Marshal

The MR20 comes equipped with Air Marshal, a built-in wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) for threat detection and attack remediation. MR20 access points will scan their environment opportunistically based on user-defined preferences. Alarms and auto-containment of malicious rogue APs are configured via flexible remediation policies, ensuring optimal security and performance in even the challenging wireless environments.

Application-aware traffic shaping

The MR20 features 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.

Self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing

When plugged in, the MR20 automatically connects to the Meraki cloud, downloads its configuration, and joins the appropriate network. It self-optimizes, determining the ideal channel, transmit power, and client connection parameters. And it self-heals in the event of a switch or cable failure by meshing with nearby Meraki access points, providing continued gateway.

Integrated analytics

Drill down into the details of your network usage with highly granular traffic analytics. Extend your visibility into the physical world with built-in location analytics that enables you to view visitor numbers, dwell time, repeat visit rates, and track foot traffic trends.
