Anyone used MR36H? Curious about experiences...

[mvalpreda]

I have an MR45 and MR42 that I use at home. The MR45 is in the main part of the house and the MR42 is in the garage. I've been having some odd connection issues with some Wi-Fi cameras from Aqara with the MR45, but not the MR42...and even then, only certain models of the Aqara cameras.

The MR45 is on a ledge and 'mounted' vertical on a book holder looking device. I was thinking I could remove that, go with an MR36H which is designed to be mounted vertical, and put it behind my living room TV (wall-mounted just a few feet from where the MR45 is now). That would kill two birds with getting a switch out from behind the TV (small little PD switch) and test out what might be going on.

Before I head down that path, wanted to see if anyone had any experience with the MR36H and how it has worked for them.

Appreciate any input!

Hotel group here - we were one of the launch partners for the MR30H, the 36' predecessor. The 36H is great for what it is, and nothing more (which isn't a bad thing). It really should be in a gang box, but if it needs to be surface mounted you can get a surface mount gang box and attach it there. Use a right angle ethernet cable as the space is probably compact behind it.

The only real drawback on the 36H compared to the 30H was the removal of one of the switch ports, now it is a straight passthrough from a 2nd port on the back. Not nearly as handy, so you only have 3 switch ports available to you.

There used to be quite a bit of instability with VLANs and the switch ports, but this has been solved for a while now and we haven't seen any problems in 12+ months. Also remember due to its smaller size it is only a 2x2:2 802.11ax unit - no 6ghz.
