Hello Meraki Community, We’re planning to scale our wireless network to handle increased device density and higher bandwidth demands. I’m exploring expansion modules (like the MA-ANT-20 or MA-IN-6-20-XW) to enhance our MR access points but would appreciate insights on: Real-World Performance: Has anyone deployed these modules with MR56/46/36 series APs? How do they impact coverage, throughput, or interference in high-density environments (e.g., campuses, event spaces)? Compatibility & Limitations: Are there specific firmware requirements or AP models where expansion modules work best? Any gotchas (e.g., reduced PoE budget, thermal constraints)? Use Cases: Are these modules ideal for: Directional coverage (e.g., long hallways)? Mitigating dead zones with external antennas? Supporting specialized IoT/Wi-Fi 6E deployments? Alternatives: For those who opted against expansion modules, did you achieve better results with additional APs or alternate antenna configurations?
