repeater?

geocoles — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 17:42:59 GMT

I was just asked if a Meraki AP could be put in a area of our building that doesn't have switch access and sorta "repeat" the network to that space? I have a spare 2721. What would be my concern, if any?

You can only mesh between Meraki APs, it is not possible with any other AP model.

Meraki mesh is proprietary and only works between Meraki APs, yes.

It would take place in a network of CW91621's and the repeater would also be a CW91621

As long as you are running Meraki firmware you can use mesh.

I'm assuming you meant CW9162I-MR, Yes, as long as this is a cloud-managed APs running Meraki firmware the Meraki mesh will work.
