Description
The Cisco MR78-HW is a cloud-managed wireless access point designed for high-performance, cost-effective deployments in outdoor and industrial environments. Housed in a rugged, IP67-rated enclosure, it is built to withstand harsh weather conditions while delivering reliable Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) connectivity. With dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios, the MR78 supports a combined data rate of up to 1.7 Gbps, making it suitable for high-density public areas, campuses, or remote work sites. Integrated antennas and flexible mounting options offer simplified installation and deployment.
This model includes a 1 GbE uplink port with PoE (Power over Ethernet) support, eliminating the need for separate power lines and reducing installation complexity. It features advanced security capabilities such as WPA3 encryption, integrated Layer 7 application firewall, and automatic firmware updates through Cisco Meraki’s cloud platform. The MR78 also supports MU-MIMO and beamforming technologies to enhance client performance and coverage. When purchasing used, buyers should ensure the device has been unclaimed from previous Meraki networks, as licensing and cloud management are essential for full functionality.
