MERAKI GO housing
2.Easy setting
Recently, some products have been set through smartphone apps, rather than connecting to access points.If it is an access point used at home, I think that you can easily set it by selecting such a product.
Usage equipment registration screen
For example, the MERAKI GO series access point is that anyone can easily set it from a simple smartphone app called Meraki Go App.There are only two steps required to start using it as an access point.
The first is the registration of the device, follow the instructions on the application screen, and read the QR code on the back of the main unit with a smartphone.The second is the network setting (SSID setting) for the wireless part.When it comes to wireless settings, there may be difficult images due to technical terms, but in the Meraki Go App, simply set the network name and password, it will be completed, and even those who are worried about the setting will start using it easily.I guess the image will come up.
Also, if you select a cloud -management product, you will be able to set and confirm from anywhere if the Internet is connected not only at home.In the case of a family with a cohabitant, when something happens in wireless communication, the use of products that can confirm the situation from anywhere can lead to improvement in the satisfaction of the cohabitants.
3.Easy expansion
In an environment where radio waves are difficult to reach due to floor plans and wall element materials, there may be cases where two access points are used.Assuming such a case, it is also a major point to select a model corresponding to the mesh system (wireless parent and child unit) in advance.At that time, it is even more relieved if it is a model that can be used for either the extension of the LAN cable connection and the wireless mesh (wireless parent and child unit).
In the extension due to the LAN cable connection, the extension is very simple if there is a function that can synchronize the setting information without individual settings at additional access points.For example, in Meraki Go Access Points, the same setting information is reflected simply by registering additional equipment in the app.In the wireless mesh method, you can set up the second and subsequent access points even in an environment where LAN cables are difficult to wire.It is possible to easily expand to "environment that leads to Wi-Fi anywhere in the house" by using LAN cable connection and mesh connection.
This time, I introduced the points when choosing a commercial access point to make the environment working from home comfortable.Next time, I would like to consider an optional function that will be more comfortable with such functions.
