So I’m sitting here on the porch of our cabin in Leaky (pronounced lakey) Texas. This place is beautiful:fall leaves, quiet, Frio river. With all this beauty, the first thing I naturally do is to boot up my laptop and see if I can get wireless \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Indeed I can. The AP is a Meraki. These guys are new to me, but from first encounter they seem like pretty much dump mesh clients. My cabin has this nailed to the outside:<\/p>\n

If you browse to your default gateway once connected you get the Meraki web interface. This has almost no functionality. There is an interface to set the IP, which you have to login to get to. They use username of admin with a password of the serial number that is on the back of the AP. Soooo, I logged in with the serial number and it affords you no real additional functionality…just change the IP.<\/p>\n

It does have a client test and the ability to view other mesh nodes…but not much else.<\/p>\n

It appears as if the services are customizable, as they do browser hijacking:<\/p>\n

It looks like you do option config through Meraki’s centralized servers. They want you to login to dashboard.blah.blah. I’m assuming this is where you name your APs and configure hijack settings…hehe.<\/p>\n

Also, for my adoring fans, this is me, sitting out here in the woods, writing this post.<\/p>\n
