MR36 to Cloud without MX?

BWSI — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 17:22:33 GMT

To manage a set of MR36s through Meraki is it a requirement to connect through a MX--- firewall or can the A/Ps connect through a 3rd party firewall as well?

Please advise

You don't need a MX. Meraki APs can connect to anything.

So the only requirement is that the A/Ps are registered in Meraki, correct?

Yes

Just in case the obvious has been missed, the MR36s still require power. Normally this is done via PoE.

@BWSI All Meraki gear with the exception of sensors will work with other routers / switches etc. This is one of the beenfits of Meraki, you can pick and choose.
