Unlocking Wireless Access - Cisco Meraki MR License Tiers Explained

Cisco Meraki offers licensing for MR wireless Access Points, with one license required per AP. The wireless license product line consists of two tiers:

  1. Enterprise: Featuring network access control, RADIUS authentication, multi-site management, guest access, diagnostics, monitoring, traffic shaping, and enterprise-class phone support. (LIC-ENT-xYR)

  2. Advanced: Meraki Advanced Security licenses offer enhanced protection beyond Enterprise, safeguarding against new and diverse threats for comprehensive network defense such as Automatic Umbrella Intergration and Adaptive Policy. (LIC-MR-ADV-xYR)

Cisco Meraki cloud-managed access points deliver wireless, security, location, and analytics services, requiring only a single license to support these functionalities. MR licenses are model-agnostic, encompassing both MR Enterprise and MR Advanced types.

Every Cisco Meraki access point necessitates valid licensing to operate. The MR Enterprise license encompasses standard MR features, including but not limited to:
