Review on Cisco Meraki Go Outdoor WiFi Access Point, Cloud Managed Mesh IP67 Rated [GR60-HW-US] by Cathy Sharp

My spouse is lucky because he got it up and running in minutes but he makes a living and has his Cisco certifications so your miles can vary. Ours was up and running in no time. This Meraki is definitely for the home user. According to the spouse, it is very easy to set up. You should download the app on your preferred device to get started. From there you can set up the SSID or name of your WiFi network. You can name up to four in this way. So if you want a guest network, a regular home network, something named after your business, and another network for others to access, you can do that. We wanted this to improve outdoor range when installing WiFi cameras around the farm. It also helps me lift to the second floor, which is where I work most often during the cooler months. After that you can prepare your hotspot. There is a QR code in the packaging. So if you don't have a QR scanner, it's worth installing one on your device to make setting up a hotspot easier. We chose a specific location outside to install ours. He checked our signal strength and then selected the best location for us so we could get a strong signal for the WiFa cameras in the outbuildings and also boosted the power supply on the second floor. Laying the network cable was easy for him. I bought the flat one although he says he prefers the round one as flat ones tend to buckle. If you use clips and keep them flush with the wall or ceiling etc then this shouldn't be a problem. Once it's set up, it can control who sits on it and grant permissions, enter passwords, etc. This will obviously slow things down for anyone connected and not hardwired, but it's better than no signal or having to switch places to connect to the network. Also, you can create a guest network and slow down their activities a bit so it doesn't get too stressful or slow down business or other activities around the house. I upload quite a bit for work, so I don't want to be limited to six family members trying to stream at the same time. might see it work fine for Airbnb or similar. Or for a place where customers come and wait. We wanted to be able to access Wi-Fi outside and also use it with some of the Wi-Fi cameras in the area that are much farther away. That was better than laying cables. It's IP67 rated, so it should withstand most outdoor weather and temperature conditions. I'm in 6A where I have all seasons and haven't had any issues with rain, snow or freezing temperatures so far. This helped us increase the range by about an acre and was perfect for installing WiFi cameras.
