We are using Meraki on our campus and have had no speed problems. Tech support has been excellent.

Jonathan Sent: Monday, August 24, 2015 12:52 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Meraki speed problems I tested a free 802.11n meraki, a 802.11ac meraki, and a 802.11ac ruckus AP From my tests, when clients were running 802.11n the meraki ran about 50% slower than a Ruckus AP. The ac speeds were about the same between ruckus and meraki, although the meraki would often negotiate 802.11n on an ac card which isn’t good. I sent mine back.

I had the splash page turned on for a while and this seemed to confuse them, but I disabled that and they still complain about “it doesn’t work”. I haven’t been able to get my tech support guy on their laptops (Mac’s) to take a look, but I went on the wireless (my office is next door to one owner) and it worked OK I did notice a few sporadic slow-downs occasionally. I’m wondering if the cloud management stuff means if the Meraki web site is busy, the user workstation gets a slowdown Has anyone else noticed that? Wireless strength and connectivity is fine, but I do notice a lot of ‘disconnect’ events from their laptops. I opened a Meraki ticket and they basically thought it was the laptop – but their laptops are fine (they work well at their home apparently). == John ==
