about creating, configuring and managing Meraki wireless networks, refer to the online documentation
(documentation.meraki.com).
1. Login to http://dashboard.meraki.com. If this is your first time, create a new account.
2. Find the network to which you plan to add your APs or create a new network.
3. Add your APs to your network. You will need your Meraki order number (found on your invoice) or the serial
number of each AP, which looks like Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx, and is found on the bottom of the unit. You will also need
your Enterprise license key, which you should have received via email.
4. Go to the map / floor plan view and place each AP on the map by clicking and dragging it to the location where you
plan to mount it.
Check and Upgrade Firmware
To ensure your MR45 performs optimally immediately following installation, it is recommended that you facilitate a
firmware upgrade prior to mounting your MR45.
1. Attach your MR45 to power and a wired Internet connection. See the "Power the MR45" section for details.
2. The MR45 will turn on and the LED will glow solid orange. If the unit does not require a firmware upgrade, the LED
will turn either green (no clients associated) or blue (clients associated) within thirty seconds.
* If the unit requires an upgrade, the LED will begin blinking orange until the upgrade is complete, at which point the LED
will turn solid green or blue. You should allow at least a few minutes for the firmware upgrade to complete, depending on
the speed of your internet connection.
NOTE: MR45/55 APs are based on the latest WiFi-6 technology. Due to this, some WLAN adapters may not be able to
list the SSID on 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies. We recommend updating the software driver for the wireless NIC on your
client device if the client is unable to see the configured SSIDs. Alternatively, you can disable AX functionality for
2.4GHz and 5GHz band using RF profiles.
