Very well, I will use my current footprint for drawing purposes and should be safe. Thanks for all your help, dropping Kudos!

This is ironic, but I just got word from the customer that they are actually going with the MR44. From what I have researched, they are intended for more of a warehouse scenario. They said that the MR44 will be more like the 2702e as opposed to the MR36 that would be, like you said, a retail or office environment. I just hope that for the virtual surveys, I can keep using my honeycomb / 100' diameter footprint. It can be difficult doing blind surveys. Thanks for your patience!!!

Well, here's my challenge: The customer sends me the building diagrams, I build a Visio diagram and use the overlay (above honeycomb layout) I have used for 10+ years (has worked perfect). All of this is complete BEFORE the building is even constructed. Then, they have an idea of how many APs they need to purchase. Once the building is complete, I take my crew and go do the actual install. With new build outs, I don't have the option to do any type of real site survey unfortunately. Using the Cisco 2702e made it easy, now they are switching gears and they have no clue what the difference are between the MR36 and the 2702e patterns, therefore, I am doing the research FOR them LOL.

Thank you for the great information! The MR36 has an OMNI antenna built into it correct? I am just the installer, and the customer does the purchasing 🙂 However, at the end of the day, I want to be able to bring to mind the issues they may have post install as a result of their purchase. The 2702e's and even the Aruba 505's were great for this type of warehouse install. I like doing the job right the first time if you know what I mean? So, you think a 90' diameter footprint, facing toward the ground, with a 35' ceiling height would be suffice for this scenario? A single octagon represents a single MR36 mounted in the center of it FYI.

I have a question about the Meraki MR36. 99% of my business deals with warehouse wireless. I know in the past; I have used a footprint of 100 & 75' for a single Cisco 2702e for maximum coverage with a little room to bleed over to the next AP. However, my customers are moving to the Meraki APs, I have heard they provide better coverage, but see no real results on a heat map. Does anyone have a general rule-of-thumb as far as engineering a warehouse with a diameter of some type? With the Cisco 2702e's. I have always had great success using a standard 100' diameter footprint. Below is a template I have used for 10+ years with the Cisco 2702e's. Thanks
