Hi,

I have a Z3 at home which connects via my home broadband to get corporate network in my house. I need to expand the wireless connection to an outbuilding. Is it possible to connect an MR33 to the Z3 PoE port and use that AP in bridge mode?

thanks,

icecold

Hey @icecold ! You sure can -- the Z3 series has one ethernet port dedicated to PoE (identified with a lightning bolt), so you can simply plug your MR33 into the Z3's port to power it on. From there, you can configure your MR33 in bridge mode to let DHCP traffic pass through to your Z3. You can configure bridge mode on your AP on the Access Control page, and configure DHCP on your Z3 on its Routing & DHCP page. 

The documentation for the Z3 and MR33 are excellent references for getting started. Good luck, and happy networking!

@icecold though you'll find that they are two different wireless networks, even if you copy the settings.  The MX and Z3 wireless are separate from other Meraki wireless networks
