MR57-HW is the Cisco Meraki MR57 Cloud Managed 802.11ax AP, an indoor Wi-Fi 6E access point built around tri-band client access across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz. It belongs to the Meraki MR cloud-managed access point family and uses integrated omni-directional antennas rather than external antenna ports. The platform combines three client-serving 4x4 radios with a dedicated tri-band Air Marshal scanning radio and a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy radio for beaconing and scanning. Software configurable flex radio architecture lets the access point operate in dual 5 GHz mode or true tri-band mode when 6 GHz operation is enabled by country policy and dashboard configuration. The hardware is intended for indoor ceiling, wall, desk, ceiling-tile rail, or cable-junction-box placement, with a universal bracket guiding physical alignment and cable-bay access.
7.78 Gbps of aggregate frame rate spans 4,804 Mbps in the 6 GHz band, 2,402 Mbps in the 5 GHz band, and 574 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. 4x4:4 operation applies to the 6 GHz, 5 GHz, and 2.4 GHz client radios, giving each radio four spatial streams for IEEE 802.11ax clients. DL and UL MU-MIMO, DL and UL OFDMA, target wake time, BSS coloring, maximal ratio combining, beamforming, 1024-QAM, and packet aggregation define the radio feature set. MR57-HW also separates Air Marshal WIDS/WIPS, spectrum analysis, and location analytics onto a dedicated scanning radio instead of consuming a client-serving radio for those functions. 2 x 100/1000/2.5G/5G BASE-T RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces provide multi-gigabit uplink options, link aggregation, LAN extension behavior, and dual-uplink power scenarios through dashboard configuration. Integrated antennas specify 4.5 dBi gain at 2.4 GHz and 5.5 dBi gain at both higher bands.
MR57-HW fits dense indoor access layers where 6 GHz client adoption, multigigabit switching, and cloud RF control shape the design. A single 802.3bt source provides full operation with USB active, while 802.3at keeps all five radios active and disables USB; a single 802.3af source does not power the access point. Dual Ethernet uplink designs use link aggregation, power sharing, or redundant power behavior according to the documented PoE mode and firmware release. Meraki Dashboard handles SSIDs, VLAN tagging, firewall policy, Air Marshal, traffic shaping, RF profiles, location analytics, firmware, and local-status troubleshooting. The access point requires a valid Meraki MR license, internet reachability, an appropriate PoE or DC power source, and an upstream switch design aligned to dual 5G mGig ports. Indoor temperature limits run from 0 C to 40 C, so placement planning should account for ceiling heat, airflow, service access, cable routing, 6 GHz regulatory constraints, and downstream switch power budgets.

MR57-HW anchors an indoor access layer where Wi-Fi 6E clients use 6 GHz while legacy clients remain on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The three 4x4:4 radios map SSIDs, VLANs, and RF profiles through Meraki Dashboard, while the dedicated Air Marshal radio continues WIDS and spectrum work outside the client radios. Dual 5G mGig uplinks connect the AP to an aggregation-ready switching design, giving dense floor areas cleaner airtime separation, stronger RF visibility, and higher wired backhaul capacity per cell.
MR57-HW operates at the access edge with both Ethernet ports connected to mGig switch infrastructure for link aggregation and documented PoE behavior. A single 802.3bt source keeps USB active, while 802.3at maintains the five radios with USB disabled. Dashboard configuration controls uplink mode, power negotiation visibility, SSIDs, and local-status troubleshooting. This role keeps high-density wireless cells aligned with switch capacity, preserves radio operation under defined power levels, and reduces exposure to a single copper uplink path during access switching changes.
The management plane uses MR57-HW as a Meraki Dashboard controlled sensor and access point across tri-band indoor coverage zones. Client-serving radios carry production SSIDs, while the scanning radio feeds Air Marshal, RF analytics, and location data. BLE beaconing adds IoT and location context without replacing the access radios. Engineers tune channel behavior, traffic shaping, security policy, firmware, and troubleshooting workflows from Dashboard, producing a centrally governed Wi-Fi 6E environment with consistent RF telemetry, client visibility, and channel history across connected floors.

MR57-HW is the Cisco Meraki MR57 Cloud Managed 802.11ax access point. It is an indoor Wi-Fi 6E AP with 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz client radios, integrated omni-directional antennas, dual 5G mGig Ethernet ports, a dedicated Air Marshal scanning radio, Bluetooth Low Energy, USB, and Meraki Dashboard cloud management.
The model number identifies the Meraki MR57 hardware access point. MR57 names the indoor Wi-Fi 6E platform, and HW marks the physical hardware SKU rather than a license, mount, antenna, or power accessory. Cisco Meraki ordering information names MR57-HW as Meraki MR57 Cloud Managed 802.11ax AP.
MR57-HW is a cloud-managed wireless access point for indoor networks. It is not a controller, switch, firewall, router, power injector, antenna, or standalone license. The hardware provides wireless client access over tri-band radios and uses wired 100/1000/2.5G/5G BASE-T Ethernet ports for uplink, link aggregation, and power input.
MR57-HW sits at the high-performance indoor Wi-Fi 6E tier in the Meraki MR lineup. It adds 6 GHz client access to the MR family while retaining Meraki cloud management, Air Marshal scanning, BLE beaconing, integrated antennas, and indoor mounting. It suits networks that require 4x4:4 radios across all three client bands.
MR57-HW supports Wi-Fi 6E through IEEE 802.11ax operation across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz. It also supports earlier client standards on the appropriate bands, including 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac. The 6 GHz radio uses 802.11ax for newer tri-band client designs and spectrum planning.
MR57-HW includes three client access radios: 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n/ax, 5 GHz 802.11a/n/ac/ax, and 6 GHz 802.11ax. It also includes a tri-band Air Marshal radio for WIDS/WIPS, spectrum analysis, and location analytics, plus a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy radio for beaconing and scanning.
MR57-HW provides a 7.78 Gbps tri-radio aggregate frame rate. Cisco Meraki breaks that figure into 4,804 Mbps on 6 GHz, 2,402 Mbps on 5 GHz, and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. The published value is a radio chipset frame-rate capability, so actual client throughput depends on channel design and RF conditions.
MR57-HW requires 802.3bt or equivalent DC power for full operation with USB active. With 802.3at PoE+, all three client radios, scanning radio, and IoT radio operate at 4x4, but USB is disabled. A single 802.3af source is not enough to power the AP. LLDP should be enabled for negotiation.
MR57-HW has two 100/1000/2.5G/5G BASE-T Ethernet RJ-45 ports and one DC power connector. The two Ethernet ports support link aggregation and dual-uplink PoE behavior. When link aggregation is disabled, Cisco Meraki guidance states that Eth0 should be used as the primary uplink and PoE port.
MR57-HW is managed through Meraki Dashboard. Administrators claim the AP, add it to a dashboard wireless network, and configure SSIDs, VLANs, RF profiles, security settings, traffic shaping, firmware, location analytics, Air Marshal, and troubleshooting tools from the cloud interface. A valid Meraki MR license is required for operation.
MR57-HW is used for dense indoor access layers that need Wi-Fi 6E, tri-band client service, and multigigabit wired backhaul. It fits ceiling, wall, desk, ceiling-tile rail, or junction-box mounting where 6 GHz clients benefit from cleaner spectrum and shorter channel reuse. The AP should be paired with suitable PoE and switching capacity.
The 6 GHz radio gives MR57-HW access to additional spectrum for Wi-Fi 6E clients. In tri-band mode, the AP serves 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz clients concurrently. Cisco Meraki also provides a software configurable flex radio architecture, so the design can use dual 5 GHz or true tri-band operation where regulations allow 6 GHz.
MR57-HW supports dual uplinks through its two 5G mGig Ethernet ports. Cisco Meraki documents link aggregation, power sharing, and high-availability power behavior for MR57, with MR 30.1 listed as the minimum firmware support for Dual Uplink High Availability. Both uplink design and PoE source selection should be planned together.
MR57-HW is included in Cisco Meraki's Wi-Fi 6E mesh product family list. Meraki mesh allows gateway and repeater AP operation, with repeaters using wireless mesh links to reach a gateway AP. Installation guidance also describes repeater-mode checks for MR57. Mesh design should account for line of sight and expected throughput impact.
MR57-HW uses integrated omni-directional antennas. Cisco Meraki lists antenna gain at 4.5 dBi for 2.4 GHz, 5.5 dBi for 5 GHz, and 5.5 dBi for 6 GHz. There are no external antenna connectors on this SKU, so antenna pattern planning comes from AP placement rather than separate antenna SKUs.
MR57-HW supports Meraki wireless security features such as WPA, WPA2, WPA3 Personal, WPA3 Enterprise, WPA3 Enhanced Open, 802.1X authentication, Air Marshal WIDS/WIPS, rogue AP containment, VLAN tagging, Layer 7 firewall policy, guest access, device isolation, IPsec tunneling, and Cisco ISE integration. Feature behavior depends on dashboard configuration and licensing.
MR57-HW requires a valid Meraki MR license. Cisco Meraki states that cloud-managed access points need a single MR license for wireless, security, location, and analytics services. MR Enterprise, MR Advanced, and MR Upgrade license types exist, but MR Upgrade is not a standalone AP license by itself.
MR57-HW installation documentation lists the universal mounting bracket, AIR-AP-BRACKET-2, as part of the mounting method and references an inbox mounting template with the mount cradle. The AP also requires Ethernet cabling, a supported PoE switch or injector, or a compatible DC adapter. Some screws or fasteners depend on the mounting surface.
MR57-HW adds Wi-Fi 6E and 6 GHz client access, while MR56-HW is a Wi-Fi 6 model without 6 GHz. MR57-HW uses three 4x4:4 client radios and two 5G mGig Ethernet ports. MR56-HW uses 4x4 on 2.4 GHz, 8x8 on 5 GHz, and one 5G mGig Ethernet port.
MR57-HW is the higher-tier tri-band Wi-Fi 6E model with 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz client radios. MR46-HW is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 AP with 4x4 radios on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. MR57-HW also has two 5G mGig ports, while MR46-HW has one 2.5G mGig port.
MR57-HW provides tri-band Wi-Fi 6E with 4x4:4 radios across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz. MR44-HW is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 AP with 2x2 on 2.4 GHz and 4x4 on 5 GHz. MR57-HW also moves to dual 5G mGig Ethernet instead of one 2.5G mGig Ethernet port.
MR57-HW and CW9166I-MR both provide tri-band Wi-Fi 6E with 4x4 radios and 7.78 Gbps aggregate frame rate. The main hardware distinction is wired connectivity: MR57-HW has two 100/1000/2.5G/5G BASE-T Ethernet ports, while CW9166I-MR has one 1000/2.5G/5G BASE-T Ethernet port for uplink.
MR57-HW may be quoted in new or refurbished condition depending on market availability, requested quantity, accessories, licensing needs, and delivery destination. New hardware suits standardized Wi-Fi 6E rollouts, while refurbished hardware may fit replacement or expansion projects. The quote should confirm condition, warranty terms, lead time, and any power accessories.
MR57-HW pricing depends on requested condition, quantity, sourcing channel, warranty preference, power accessories, license term, and destination. ORM Systems checks current availability before quoting the access point and any related Meraki MR licensing or power components.

Cisco Meraki's support policy lists MR indoor products with a lifetime hardware warranty, tied to the product end-of-support date under the EOL policy. ORM Systems states warranty terms on each MR57-HW quote based on condition and sourcing route. Refurbished purchases should confirm testing, replacement terms, and coverage duration before approval.
Refurbished MR57-HW testing should verify exact PID, factory reset state, Dashboard claim readiness, PoE negotiation, both 5G mGig Ethernet ports, link aggregation behavior where staged, radio operation, BLE function, USB behavior, and enclosure condition. Wireless-specific testing reduces risk before the AP joins a production Meraki network.
MR57-HW documentation includes compliance and standards references for wireless operation, safety, radio, regulatory, and environmental requirements. The datasheet highlights Wi-Fi Alliance alignment, RoHS, regional regulatory information, and indoor access point warranty classification. Country-specific restrictions also affect supported bands and channels, especially for 6 GHz operation.
MR57-HW is first claimed into a Meraki Dashboard organization and added to the intended wireless network. The AP then connects through Ethernet and a supported power source, obtains network connectivity, checks in to Dashboard, downloads configuration, and applies firmware as needed. Local status access supports uplink and IP troubleshooting.
MR57-HW needs Meraki Dashboard access and a valid MR license. Cisco Meraki lists MR Enterprise, MR Advanced, and MR Upgrade license types, with MR Upgrade acting as an upgrade path rather than a standalone AP license. The selected license model should match the organization's co-term, per-device, or subscription licensing design.
Before installing MR57-HW, the site should have Dashboard network preparation, internet reachability, allowed upstream firewall rules, DHCP or planned static addressing, 802.3bt or 802.3at PoE planning, mGig switch capacity, Ethernet cabling, and a suitable mounting location. 6 GHz operation also depends on regional regulatory allowance.
