Ethernet Ports

The MR70 features a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port that accepts 802.3at and 802.3af power (labeled “Eth0, PoE”). This port should be used for uplink to your WAN connection.

Power Source Options

The MR70 access point can be powered using either the Meraki AC Adapter, PoE Injector (both sold separately), or a third-party PoE switch.

Factory Reset Button

If the button is pressed and held for at least five seconds and then released, the MR70 will reboot and be restored to its original factory settings by deleting all configuration information stored on the unit.

LED Indicators and Run Dark Mode

Your MR70 is equipped with a multi-color LED light on the front of the unit to convey information about system functionality and performance:

•Orange - AP is booting (permanent Orange suggests hardware issue)

•Rainbow - AP is initializing/scanning

•Blinking Blue - AP is upgrading

•Green - AP in Gateway mode with no clients

•Blue - AP in Gateway mode with clients

•Blinking Orange - AP can't find uplink

The MR70 may be operated in “Run Dark” mode for additional security and to reduce the visibility of the access point. In this mode, the LED will not be illuminated. This mode may be enabled through Meraki dashboard.
