I've only had my 3 since Monday afternoon, so my comments are newbie'esque.
I was mistaken on the messaging tool bar, it does not disappear after the first page after the splash page. It is a simple 50 pixel high tool bar at the top of your browser. Very low impact but would be annoying. But then for a free Internet connection, very close to perfect. The private side with WPA has also worked flawlessly. My biggest concern was being tied to Meraki for management. No issue as long as they continue to provide the management in the current business model. But then they have morphed into tiered service levels once already and who knows what might happen down the road. I know that there are other firmware out there for the minis (not the outdoor yet) that will move you off of the Meraki supervision tether. That option was what enabled me to try them out. And at first blush, these things are wonderful and now second blush, I'm still on board. You can easily use them for the private side and they still are a reasonable value to blanket your home/garage/yard with two or 3. I have the public side set for 100K bandwidth and splashing to a webpage saying essentially tell me who you are and then get more bandwidth by whitelisting or the passphrase. I'm still very much playing with all the controls. That and the mesh is loads of fun. Sure beats fighting with multiple AP's. As I said, newbie alert so do your own research first.
