Use MR33 without Meraki Appliance

[SLR]

Good day -

I have a site that is not fully transitioned yet to Meraki SDWAN. We are being tasked to send out a MR33 in the meantime since the site is without wifi and needs it. Can the MR33 still be used as a WAP without the MX appliance if I have an ac adapter for power to it and plug it directly into the ISP modem? Will the device still show up in the portal? 

[MarcP · Accepted solution]

Yes, it is. We are using a single MR33 without a MX on a site as well.

[SLR]

thank you. Do you have any specific settings on it? Am I still able to block access to streaming and gaming for it? 

[MarcP]

Yes, they work as normal as if you would have something else from meraki there.

@SLR  The APs are not dependent on the other Meraki products. As long as they are powered and have a proper Internet connection, they will work just fine.

Cheers!
