MR500 Dual Band 802.11n Enterprise Access Point (beta)

High Speed Cloud-Managed Wireless 

The MR500 is an Enterprise class access point ideal for use in Schools, Offices, Shopping Malls, Hotels and anywhere you need high-speed wireless coverage. It is the smallest enterprise-class access point available, even though it also supports a 5-port switch for wired as well as wireless client access that competitive devices lack.

Unlike other dual band routers, the MR500 features a two CPU design, offloading the mesh to a second CPU with its own radio. This allows the mesh to run completely in the background and not compete with local client access. (Note that because of this, the MR500 can not mesh with our Hospitality (OM1P) and Community WiFi (MR3201A) series.)

The MR500 uses the new "next generation" CloudTrax firmware & cloud controller which offers several enterprise-class features including a powerful mesh bridge mode. This optionally gives users on secured SSIDs access to full LAN resources.

See Using the Cloud Controller to learn how to manage your network with the MR500.
