URL filtering, application blocking AP MR

Leo TI — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 18:17:43 GMT

Hello, I want to know if I can block websites and applications using only the MR access point with the standard license, or do I need to use an MX license?

You need a MX or you can integrate it with umbrella.

I haven't tried it , but I think you could use the L7 rules on the firewall page on your MR

It works, but it's limited; it's more worthwhile to integrate it with Umbrella.

Could I block websites using only the Meraki MR Enterprise license?

Yes, you can try using the L7 firewall rules.
