The MR56 features a high-powered internal antenna that supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi to deliver up to 1147 Mb/s speeds through the 2.4 GHz frequency signal and 4804 Mb/s over the 5 GHz signal for a combined speed of 5.9 Gb/s with compatible devices. Technologies such as beamforming and enhanced receive help to maintain reliable high-performance wireless connections.

With 8 x 8 MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies, the access point can efficiently communicate with multiple devices simultaneously.

A dedicated dual-band scanning and security radio continually scans the environment for RF interference and potential wireless threats in real-time. The data is fed into the Meraki cloud, which works to automatically tune the channel selection, transmit power, and client connection settings for optimal performance.

Advanced security options such as AES hardware-based encryption and Enterprise authentication with 802.1X and Active Directory integration provide easy-to-configure security for users. Guests can be given isolated, internet-only access.

The QoS policies can be configured based on traffic type to help ensure that critical applications work efficiently. These include options to prioritize Wireless MultiMedia (WMM) access and optimize VoIP phones for smooth operation.

The MR56 automatically connects to Meraki cloud after it is plugged in to download its configuration and join your network. It also updates its firmware automatically to ensure that you always have the latest bug fixes, security updates, and features.
