Meraki Default Login - Control Panel

Updated October 23, 2026 · Source: Cisco Meraki, Local Status Page

Meraki is configured in the cloud

Cisco Meraki devices (MX security appliances, MR access points, MS switches, Z teleworker gateways) are configured from the Meraki Dashboard in the cloud, not from a page on the device. That is why our database lists no default address or password for models such as the MX60W and Z1: there is no traditional router login.

The Local Status Page

Each Meraki device still has a small local page for troubleshooting: status, uplink settings, a static IP when there is no DHCP. To open it:

1. Connect to the device or to its network.
2. Open http://my.meraki.com or http://setup.meraki.com. Model-specific names such as ap.meraki.com and switch.meraki.com also work, and so does the device’s LAN IP.
3. Sign in when the configuration pages ask for it (see below).

Local Status Page login

• Current firmware (MR 31.7.1 and later, MX 19 and later): username admin, password the device serial number in capital letters with dashes.
• Older firmware: the serial number as the username and an empty password.
• Networks created after August 1, 2025: Meraki requires the local password to be set explicitly in the Dashboard.
• Meraki Go: the serial number as the username and an empty password, unless a local password was set in the Go app; then the username is admin.

The administrator can change these credentials in the Dashboard, so on a company network ask the IT team rather than guessing.
