Yes — you can change/upgrade the antennas on the Meraki MR76.
The Cisco Meraki MR76 is designed for external antennas and supports 4 × N-type antenna connectors. Antennas are not included by default, and you must connect all four ports to maintain proper MIMO operation.
Key points
• You can use Cisco Meraki–approved antennas or third-party antennas that match the required specifications
• Supported antenna types include omnidirectional, sector, and patch antennas
• Antennas must be dual-band (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) and use N-type connectors
• Antenna choice impacts coverage pattern, gain, and regulatory compliance
Recommended (official) Meraki antennas
Common compatible models include:
• MA-ANT-20 – Dual-band omni antennas
• MA-ANT-21 / MA-ANT-23 – Sector antennas
• MA-ANT-25 / MA-ANT-27 – Higher-gain directional options
(Refer to the MR76 datasheet for the full supported list.)
Where to buy
• Cisco partners / resellers
• Online retailers such as Amazon, NetworkTigers, CDW, Comms-Express, etc.
As long as the antenna meets the MR76 specifications (N-type, dual-band, correct impedance and gain), it can be used. However, Meraki recommends using their approved antennas for guaranteed performance and compliance.
