Meraki MG41E Cisco support being discontinued?

[JD4]

Was hearing rumors today about that the Meraki wifi pucks being removed from gov buildings due to Cisco discontinuing support in the next 6 months.  Any chance you've heard something similar?  Can't seem to find any documentation on that yet.

There is no information about it.

Hi @JD4,

The MG41 and MG41E have not been announced EOS, as the product was released in 2021, we still have lots of shelf life.  In the event of an EOS notification on any Meraki product, there is typically still 5-yrs of life before it goes End-of-Support.

tl;dr, No, the MG41/41E is not EOS or EOST.

Was it about meraki mr72 maybe?

Just to add to earlier posters:   MG41 and other MG gateaways are not wifi devices - they are 'wireless' in the broader sense that they communicate with the Internet without a wired uplink, but this is always cellular data, so 3G/4G (for MG21/41) with added 5G capability on MG51.   I suspect maybe what you're referring to are some End of Life Meraki MR WiFi access points.  These provide wireless connectivity, based upon 802.11 standards to a Local Area Network, rather than the Internet directly.     The details of those older models are available in the link that @alemabrahao provided:   https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Other_Topics/Meraki_End-of-Life_(EOL)_Produc...
