I just finished setting up a test mesh network using 2 Meraki Minis. What an easy setup. They are really and truly plug and play, the web interface is flexible, and the devices themselves just adapt to their environment.

I initially connected one directly to a LAN port on my Linksys/dd-wrt router, connected everything up and used it for awhile. When I went to add the second Meraki Mini, I just swapped it out with the one on the router, sat it next to me on the couch, added it to the profile (using the MAC and serial number), and bingo – it was on the network. Next, I plugged my notebook directly into the ethernet port on it, and it never skipped a beat.

I am planning on deploying about 15-20 of these onto a small mesh network, and after further testing, I will let you know what I find out. So far, so good. These are great.
