What about ruckus ?  Funded by Google, too, and higher power... those
units
I've tested have been nothing short of excellent.  Out to 1 mile away in
a window...

I did some more checking, and it appears people have already wrote
custom
mesh software for the Meraki (CuWIN, the-mesh.net, etc).  So even if you
or
someone else objected to the phone home strategy, there's other meshing
software for it.  At the price, it beats buying a WRT54G, is POE, and
has
more FCC approved power (60mW for the Meraki, vs 30mW for the WRT).

On the bright side, the Linux source code is available, people have
already
made custom firmware flashes, so even if Meraki goes belly up, we can
still
utilize our equipment in some form.

Marlon,

in the time it takes you to write a sentence like:

It's my understanding that Google is somehow involved with this product.

You could go to Google - or better yet, an objective third party like
Yahoo!
- and type in "google meraki".

Scan the page, and see something like :
GigaOM > *Google* Invests in
*Meraki*<http://gigaom.com/2006/11/30/meraki-google/>And
you no longer have to clutter the list with idle, uninformed
speculation.

Likewise, Meraki posts its privacy policy at
http://meraki.net/legal/privacy/. See esp. the section:
Does Meraki Networks Share the Information It Receives?Meraki units HAVE
to
phone home to e.g. update the dashboard.

Best,
