4 Installation Instructions
4.1 Choose Your Mounting Location
A good mounting location is important to getting the best performance out of your MR66 access point.
Keep the following in mind:
1. The device should have unobstructed line of sight to most coverage areas. For example, if installing
in an office filled with workspaces divided by mid-height cubicle walls, installing on the ceiling or high
on a wall would be ideal.
2. Power over Ethernet supports a maximum cable length of 300 ft (100 m).
3. If being used in a mesh deployment, the MR66 should have line of sight to at least two other Meraki
devices. For more detailed instructions regarding access point location selection, reference the Meraki
Network Design Guide (
meraki.com/support/#documentation
).
4. The antennas should be as unobstructed as possible. Make sure that there is clearance around the
MR66 for installation of all of your chosen antennas.
4.2 Install the MR66
For most mounting scenarios, the MR66 mount plate provides a quick, simple, and flexible means of mounting
your device. The installation should be done in two steps. First, install the mount plate to your selected location.
Then attach the MR66 to the mount plate.
