Hardware support for Meraki devices

Hi All

When you buy a dashboard licence with a Meraki AP, does this also include hardware support for the AP?

Many thanks

Check out the F&Q for Licensing:

How does the hardware warranty relate to licensing?

The hardware warranty is tied to the hardware unit, not the license. Hardware that has a lifetime warranty (e.g., the MR24) is warranted for the life of the hardware. Hardware with a fixed-term warranty, (e.g., 1 year), has a 1-year warranty, regardless of the license.

 

Hope this helps

Yes, the license includes replacement despatched (usually) next business day of any devices that fail

 

Edit - this is for internal models only, as @rwiesmann stated, external APs and antennas only have a 1 year warranty...

For new, yes, but if you purchased used hardware then no the hardware warranty is not transferable.

And remember that if the warranty response time isn’t inline with your requirements, e.g. you want a 4 hour advance replacement (not something you’d normally want on an access point), or if the warranty is only for a year and you want to extend it, then you can get MerakiNow which is very similar to SmartNet in that it provides hardware replacement.
