Hi Ian!

I am also part of the team supporting the New to Meraki User Group and I'm looking forward to helping out those who are new to Meraki! I've been with Meraki for a couple of years now and I am currently based out of the Chicago Meraki office.

Excited to share some Meraki knowledge.

@j_verlaine I'd suggest starting by looking for the reasonably regular webinars where you can get a free access point.  This will then allow you to we for yourself how rich the information collected is, both in terms of diagnosis and usage.

If you can't find a suitable webinar then you can often trial equipment for a project.

We started down the Meraki route with a couple of wireless access points, then used MXs to create a wide area network and more recently have been replacing en of support Cisco IOS switches with Meraki ones.

The visibility and ease of use is fantastic!

I'm new to Meraki. My background is primarily in hardware and software installation/troubleshooting. Networking is where I'm looking to expand into, and Meraki in particular. I'm glad to be a part of this community and look forward to learning.
