by Andrew Garcia
2Meraki MR16
The MR16 has a 2-by-2 MIMO configuration, with two 802.11n radios.
3Power
The MR16 offers an 802.3af-compliant, gigabit Power over Ethernet adapter, plus a DC power port that didn’t exist in previous models.
4Size Comparison
The MR16 (left) is much smaller than the older MR14 (right). The MR16 measures in at 7.3 by 5.8 by 1.0 inches and 17 ounces, whereas the old MR14 is 18.5 by 6.6 by 1.7 inches and 27 ounces.
5Mainboard
To save space inside the AP, Meraki consolidated down to a single board in the MR16.
6MR14 Inside
By contrast, the older model-the MR14-had three distinct elements inside.
75GHz Bandwidth Comparison
In the AirMagnet Survey PRO 8.0 iPerf tests, the MR14 (left) showed consistently lower total download performance than the MR16 (right).
85GHz PHY Assessment
At left the MR14 delivers lesser PHY data rates throughout the office than the MR16 (right).
92.4GHz iPerf Comparison
The download performance difference between the MR14 (left) and MR16 (right) were less pronounced in the 2.4GHz band.
