Meraki Pro Cloud Controller
Web-Based WiFi Management

Remote, Multi-Admin Management
Multiple administrators can login and manage your network at the same time, using just a web browser.

Sophisticated Map View
Drag and drop your nodes onto a detailed geographical map. Meraki uses Google Maps, so your maps are constantly up to date. Map and satellite views are available.

Real-time Network Visualization
View the routes between your nodes and users currently on the network. Quickly see nodes’ uptime state, enabling you to identify trouble spots quickly. Drill down on specific nodes to get more detailed data. Troubleshoot problems by testing to see whether nodes are alive. Run real-time latency and bandwidth tests from a node to the gateway to determine the quality of the connection.

Automatic Alerts
Receive an email when there is a significant network event, such as a node going offline, a gateway connection failing, or nodes coming back online. Since the management system is hosted, you don’t need to worry about software updates and patches. In addition, Meraki provides automatic, over-the-air firmware upgrades to your access points in the field.

Historical Reporting
Get detailed reports on your network’s performance, uptime, and usage. Sort data by user, device, and other factors. Visualize data with graphs and reports. Identify nodes with intermittent connections that need attention. Export statistics and usage to XML for analysis in Excel or other data processing applications.

Security Protocols
Meraki supports industry-standard WEP and WPA encryption and authorization protocols.

Access Control
You can manage access your network in a number of ways, including by username, MAC address, or WPA key.

Bandwidth Shaping
Meraki systems include an integrated bandwidth shaping engine. You can set upload and download limits for different groups of users. Unlike most bandwidth shaping tools, which require all traffic to be routed through a central location, Meraki’s system is distributed at the edge of the network. You get improved performance and the ability to use heterogeneous backhaul connections.

Multiple SSIDs
Create multiple SSIDs for multiple tiers of service. For example, use one for private access and one for guest or public access.

Secure Guest Access
Meraki gives you everything you need to easily and cost-effectively offer wireless network access to your guests and visitors. Your guest network can be a stand-alone network or another virtual network (with a separate SSID) on your existing Meraki network. Guest access speeds can be limited to ensure fair access in high-traffic areas. With Captive Portal select the first page that users see, and customize it based on a number of pre-defined templates or using your own custom HTML. No complex re-routing system required.

One-Click Billing
All you need to do is set your price plans and Meraki handles the rest. Our system creates the captive portal and billing pages, while also handling the credit card processing (so there’s no need for you to setup a separate Merchant account). At the end of each month we send you a PayPal payment based on your previous month’s earnings, less Meraki’s share.

Multiple Tiers and Rate Plans
Meraki Billing allows you to offer multiple tiers of service and different rate plans. For example, you can offer access by the hour, day, week, or month. You can also offer different upload and download speeds. Our system allows you to offer potential customers free, time-limited trials.

Scalability and Availability
Advanced Features With Meraki’s wired network extension, you can form a wireless-to-wired bridge, and add a switch to your device. Mesh over wire allows a mesh hop without performance degradation. Each router runs a powerful traffic management and shaping engine, which is controlled by the hosted management system.

Redundant Backhaul
Meraki’s mesh system allows you to have multiple gateways from different vendors. This means you can use any combination of DSL, T1, etc. Your network stays up even if one of your backhaul providers suffers an outage.

Stand-alone mode
Should your network ever be unable to communicate with Meraki’s Data Centers, your network will continue to provide basic service to your customers. Network management and user authorization capability resume automatically as soon as the connection is restored.

Zero Configuration
Meraki mesh works out of the box. There’s no complex configuration needed. Dashboard was built with mesh in mind. All our tools, reports, and monitoring are mesh-aware. Daisy chain multiple Meraki radios together to build long distance links.
