Meraki Go Indoor WiFi 6 Access Point | Cloud Managed | PoE | Cisco [GR12-HW-US]

I swapped out my old Open Mesh with 4 of these and I am glad I did because my wireless has improved. Setup was easy, they weren't overly expensive. I have 3 running at APs and 1 mesh. I have not had any issues.

So I bought two of them, of course I couldn’t put them far away from each other because my home was smaller than I thought. It works great, I have about 7-10 devices connected to it at any given time, one gaming, three streaming, cameras, laptops (video conferencing) and phones. I don’t experience latency, my ISP seems to be more of the culprit for any lag. I like that there is a NAT option so devices don’t have to talk to each other on the network, great security feature for a device like this. You can see what sites are visited and which devices have done so, the name of the devices do not carry on through, so if you name a device in the app, it doesn’t copy it to the other AP. I wish there were more management options, like disconnect this device rather than block it entirely. As a plug and go, it does the trick. I have it plugged into a switch and use a PoE injector, which does the fine. I had the other one about 40 feet away, on a PoE switch, which also worked great powering on and working. For the value of it, I’d say it’s definitely worth it for SOHO. I don’t have to pay for the app or the use, it’s all free in that aspect.

The device itself is simple and works as intended. However, if you find yourself forgetting which network it was registered under or maybe a former employee registered it, you won’t be able to count on their support department to assist so the equipment becomes useless and you’re out of luck.

It’s Cisco, what else can you say? It’s a fantastic product. I love the fact that it will tell me when it loses connectivity remotely. I know that my clients are down before they do. It’s never the Wi-Fi that went down. It’s always something else. These are rocksolid.

Installs fast and configures easy. The cell phone app loses saved sign-on info after updates. Paired mine with a MerakiGo firewall device with PoE ports to power this unit. This is so much better than a mesh.

I have 4 of them they work wonderfully. Easy to setup poe and easy management.

Product worked as described

I purchased these to replace some 802.11ax access points mostly out of curiosity. The installation and setup were dead simple, no guess work really, up and going in about 45 minutes, including mounting them. Once they were all setup, I did a heat map on them and compared it to my old APs. The coverage from the Meraki wifi6 APs was about half of what my old ones were. Granted, the old ones were more of a SMB/Prosumer model with a on-prem controller, but the Meraki are targeted at the same market. At any given time I had around 70 devices connected between the two indoor and one outdoor (GR62) wifi6 Meraki. Speed tests performed on the old AX access points were over 200mpbs faster than the Meraki APs. I have 500mbps internet access, with the old APs, I repeatedly got 560+mbps from about 25 feet away while being on the first floor of my house with the APs installed on the second floor and the signal going through the floor between the first and second floors. The Meaki consistently hit 300-350mpbs mounted in the exact same location as the old ones were. I tried orienting the Merakis both horizontal and vertical and this made no difference.While they were easy to setup the value proposition wasn't nearly there. I would need at least one more indoor AP to get the signal I got from the old APs, but would not get the speeds I got from the old ones. It just isn't there for me. The Meraki look nice (unobtrusive) and are easy to setup, but the functionality once setup is not on par with others in the same category.
