Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Meraki Go

It's used generally when clients used Meraki stacked with other products like Meraki MS and Meraki MX. The product should be used with an authentication mechanism.

  • Reducing Cost and Complexity
  • rapid and quick access to internet
  • securing access to internet
Cisco Meraki Go appliances are configurable in the cloud which makes them quickly deployable. templates can be preconfigured in the cloud dashboard then the appliance could download its configuration after basic network configuration to be able to reach the Cisco cloud. this is useful for large-scale deployment of Meraki Go access points with nearly the same configuration. This is how we saved time in the deployment.
Meraki Go access points deliver access to the network. then Meraki MS should switch traffic to the default gateway. Gateway of all LANs should be handled by layer 3 equipment which could be the Meraki MX firewall. If the client wants DNS security, Cisco Umbrella could be used to filter internet traffic on DNS layer.
Scalability is still limited because of the limited number of machines that could be connected to a single Meraki Go access point on DHCP. But on large scale, if the client uses many access points, this issue could be solved.
Small business with maximum 5 rooms to cover in WIFI. This product is well suited for clients with no more than 5 areas to cover in WIFI. The number of machines connected on each Meraki Go appliance should not exceed appliance capacity or else performance will be affected. The client should also buy Meraki MX to secure internet access.
