Introduction
The development of wireless network technology is not the first time raises questions about the prospects - global coverage of public network and the ability to connect to the Internet anywhere and anytime. At a time when powerful corporations are experimenting with long-range Wi-Max and similar technologies, young and ambitious company Meraki Networks has made a bet on a different approach. Rightly judging that is used in most cases, unlimited access to the web (even in Moscow, almost all connections is unlimited, what about Europe or, especially, the U.S.) you can share bandwidth with others, Meraki Networks is building its network on the basis of a successful file-sharing projects. By the way, despite the peculiar name, is an American company and its operating time is a road in the U.S., where broadband access is widespread. A complex network of Meraki Mech is composed of very simple and user-friendly, unpretentious and inexpensive router / repeaters for traditional networks Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g with data rates up to 54 Mbps. Many private networks of continuous coverage area impressive, and there are options not only for the premises, but also for installation in open areas. A pair of Meraki devices, today we'll talk, especially since one of them belongs to the all-weather, and the second - a typical room temperature.
Meraki Mini Outdoor
As the name implies, this device requires the use of the street. Housing is safely protected from the weather and the sun's rays to ultraviolet radiation. Scope of delivery rather modest, all placed in a compact high box.
The picture shows the device is already attached to the antenna, except the twisted pair to the Meraki Mini Outdoor not connect any cables - power is supplied network cable, using the technology POE.
To get started, just need to connect the BP and twisted pair to a small POE-injector, connected to the same network and Ethernet, if it is used in conjunction with the router.
In principle, Meraki Mini Outdoor repeater can serve as existing Wi-Fi networks, in this case the Ethernet connection is not required. If you do connect a LAN or ADSL-modem with the corresponding output, the configuration implemented automatically. One of the strengths of all Wi-Fi devices Meraki Networks is their ability to self-autonomous configuration. That is why there is no set of instructions of the device serial number and MAC-address, as well as IP-address which is a web server system configuration.
Turning to this address (6.1.83.64), the user will see modest page layout settings. To get access to all functions of the device, enter the administrator password. Login corresponds admin password in the form of serial number. To start connecting to the wireless network Meraki and type IP-address.
If the connection is successful, and the address typed correctly, you'll see the following page:
While simple, ie with the automatic settings, the user does not need to change anything, do not have any knowledge or information, in fact, go to the web server router is just out of curiosity. What is remarkable - when used in automatic mode as the network, and with a modem connected via Ethernet, all set up and earned without any problems. It also offers a system to register an account on the Meraki project and gain access to additional functionality, up to the cancellation of the "guests" of the network card for traffic.
Switch gears in the Advanced setup mode and have the opportunity to manually set the number of parameters.
Among the available options there are, of course, the parameters for the Ethernet-connected.
In a separate group identified available wireless network, you can choose to which of them will be used repeater. The signal is very clearly shown as a line, using Meraki Mini Outdoor possible to significantly increase the radius of coverage of lice home network Wi-Fi.
In principle, all this should be the case if you require a network outside the home, to put a more simple solution.

This provides meraki networking administrators with visibility and control, at minimal cost and with less complexity – benefits that aren’t achievable with the controller appliances or overlay management software associated with traditional architectures.
