Hi @cmr ,   I also plan to use cabling in some areas. But I still confuse about the AP placement and the antenna direction. In Meraki, the mesh is done automatically, so the AP (repeater) has to in the gateway signal coverage, right? and the antenna should be facing the gateway AP and the client area coverage will be that area as well, isn't it?   and, based on your experience, how many max AP can the MS120-8p accommodate for the power capacity? ...

Hi @Bruce,  So, it is better to use the dual-band antenna for the MR84, right? and, what happens if I set the antenna (MA-ANT-25) to a different area? so I can cover a large area with only 1 AP. is that possible? ... View more

Hi Bruce,   got it, and thank you for your explanation. so if I used 2 antennas in MR84, those antennas should aim in the same direction, right? and what if I attach the MA-ANT-23 and MA-ANT-25 to the MR84? I still don't have any idea about the mesh configuration because I never configure the Meraki AP as a mesh and still not finding the guide to do that.   ... View more

Actually, I'm looking at the MR74 or MR84 for the access point. And for my use case, in several areas, we have to use radio instead of cable because of distance and other considerations. the MR84 can have 2 different type of Antenna, can the one antenna configured as radio point to point and the other antenna configured to broadcast for the client connection? ...

Thanks for the answer. But, if I install the same type of antenna (i.e. MA-ANT-23); should the point the same direction? because I have read on some forum posts that the antenna needs to aim in the same coverage area.   and another question. for the mesh deployment, can I choose one particular antenna to become the repeater/backbone to the gateway (i.e.MA-ANT-25) and another antenna (MA-ANT-23) as a wireless broadcast for the client? ...
