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

After acquiring, installing and configuring two Cisco Meraki Go devices, I had an idea. Cisco believes the world is clearly divided into two groups. The first group consists of techies who manage and operate large corporate networks and make a living digging through technical data sets. The second group consists of the others who, according to Cisco, just want to plug in their devices and go. The enterprise devices that Cisco makes and sells are for the former group, while the Meraki Go products are for the rest of us. . And I admit that there are both groups. However, there is a third group of people who are quite tech-savvy when it comes to managing their home and office networks. We don't want much documentation or anything related to documentation. This group was overlooked by Cisco, and that's unfortunate because it's where devices like the Cisco Outdoor WiFi Access Point's Meraki Go fit in. However, the only "documentation" that accompanies this access point is the wiring diagram and legal warranty pages. Luckily, Meraki Go's support team is available to answer user questions. That's good as I had to ask them questions about both their outdoor WiFi hotspot and their gateway router. The device itself is a sleek looking device with two ports on the bottom. Despite the nickname, it can be installed both indoors and outdoors. (I still doubt the usefulness and security of an outdoor WiFi router, but I will admit that such a device can be used for a few purposes.) I chose the Cisco im Meraki Go outdoor WiFi access point Indoors, so I installed it on the wall. It doesn't look obvious or bad. Once I figured out how to add the device to the less-than-obvious Meraki Go app (which was one of my Cisco Meraki support questions), everything fell into place. I ran speed tests on the Cisco Outdoor WiFi Access Point's Meraki Go and found that this was not a bottleneck for my ISP. I also ran a WiFi zone strength test. While it doesn't offer the widest connectivity compared to some other hotspots I use, the coverage was reasonable and acceptable. (I used it in a single point deployment and didn't try to use it in network mode as it requires two or more devices.)
