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.
