The Cisco Meraki MR33 is a powerful, cloud-managed wireless access point designed to deliver high-performance networking in modern, high-density environments like offices, retail stores, schools, and hospitality spaces. Featuring 2×2 MU-MIMO and 802.11ac Wave 2 support, the MR33 delivers a total dual-band aggregate data rate of up to 1.3 Gbps 866Mbps on 5 GHz and 400Mbps on 2.4 GHz ensuring reliable and fast Wi-Fi connectivity.
A dedicated third radio offers continuous scanning for real-time wireless intrusion detection (WIDS/WIPS), RF spectrum analysis, and Wi-Fi location analytics all without impacting client traffic or performance. In addition, the MR33 includes a built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio for BLE beaconing and scanning, enabling proximity-based applications and enhanced device visibility.
Cloud-based RF optimization automates performance tuning by adjusting channel selection, transmit power, and connection settings in real-time. With Meraki’s Air Marshal, the MR33 provides 24/7 wireless threat monitoring and automatic rogue AP containment to ensure enterprise-level security.
