MX64 and Meraki-go

[Darmel]

Can the Meraki-go WAP's be added to a network that has a MX64 at its appliance?  How would it get configured? Can everything still be done off he usual web dashboard?

Client is looking for a more inexpensive solution than the MR line.

thanks

Meraki Go APs can only be managed via the mobile app. Because of that they wouldn't really work together. I think it would be more like sticking an Apple Airport (or other third party wireless router) behind an MX64.

I don't think I would say they don't work together. It'd be more that you have to manage them separately. You would manage the Go AP in the AP, and the MX in the dashboard. But there's no reason why a Go AP won't fuction behind an MX assuming everything is configured correctly.

I'm not saying it wouldn't work at all, but they wouldn't work together. Ie I don't know that you could have the Go AP, hand off DHCP requests to the MX it is sitting behind.
