With my Meraki Go unit, I would max at roughly 270.  After swapping back to the ISP provided firewall, I've reached a max of 580, which is more than I pay for.   I am a network engineer, I've been doing this for 20 years.  I'm not a newbie that just went and bought some stuff on Amazon.  I don't *need* enterprise features for the most part, but I expected a lot more from this product than what it is currently delivering.  Have you seen the Merak Dashboard?  The Meraki Go App, isn't even a shell of what the Meraki Dashboard offers.  I get it, totally different audiences, but I expected a similar interface, not a janky app that is incredibly difficult to navigate with settings and features that are hidden in areas that make no sense.   I looked back at this community and found that the product was released a only month or two before my initial purchase, so the product is obviously still young.  Honestly, this is a classic Cisco move that I've seen far too many times.  Release a new product that is half baked, spend the next two years improving it and making it hum like a well-oiled machine.  I expect that the Meraki Go product will be far better in a year, however, I'm looking for better now.  I'll give it another look in a year or two when I am looking for a WiFi 6 upgrade and we'll go from there. ...

This....  This right here is the biggest annoyance of many with this product line.   I finally initiated a return on the Meraki Go gateway this morning because of this issue.  I pay for 450 Mbps internet, and with this device, I was only getting 250 Mbps.  Most of the time, it wasn't an issue.  However, when my kids are both home playing Xbox and watching Netflix at the same time, and my wife and I are wrapping up work and watching a show together, it just isn't enough for all of us to do what we want to do seamlessly.  The fact that I was being held hostage by my gateway was a huge concern, I just hoped it wouldn't become an issue.  Unfortunately, it did.   Also, it seems that the Meraki Go line in general is sort of DOA.  Support takes 3-4 days to get back to you and it is email only (read: pretty much useless).  The lack of any real customizations just makes this product far too basic than even your $100 Linksys device you would buy at Walmart and the interface is difficult to navigate to boot.   I am a huge fan of Cisco and Meraki products and was hoping for far more than what this product offers.  It just seems like a solution that was thrown together at a bar on the back of a napkin and was abandoned after launch.  I will be working with my Cisco Rep to figure out an affordable way to get some actual Meraki units for my setup and shipping all of my Meraki Go products back eventually.  In the end, it just isn't worth the amount of frustration it has caused me and my family in just a few short months. ...

Thank you for that.  I believe I will stick with the Meraki APs, however, the 250 Mbps cap on the GX20 may force me to return the device.  Not that 250 Mbps isn't enough, I pay for 400 Mbps, and to not be able to get what I pay for in the event I do need it doesn't seem right to me.  Before doing that, I will certainly reach out to support privately and see if there is anything that can be done.   Also, I thought I had fixed the issues with wireless dropouts, but it seems like they continue as well.  Again, I will reach out to support and send along the appropriate dump files and such to see if we can figure this out.   As I've continued to say, I have always loved Cisco and Meraki devices.  I have faith that this can be a very good solution.  I understand, however, there are bound to be some growing pains with such a relatively new product line.  I am happy to help in any way you think I can do so.  Beta testing new features, or whatever, I'm game to help out.   I also think there are thousands of people like myself that are looking for a new home wireless solution that has the Cisco name on it.  Pure Meraki is too expensive and feature-rich for a home network, as much as I would love to have it.  Somewhere between where Meraki Go is currently, and where Meraki is currently would be the perfect solution for most of those people.  I also think many of the SMB users would appreciate some of those features as well.   Cheers,   Mark ...

Thank you for the replies, everyone.  I went into this purchase with the understanding that I may be underwhelmed with some functions of the system.  However, I assumed that some very basic functions like DHCP reservations and/or port forwarding would be configurable.  I understand the target audience is not my demographic, it is definitely more for an SMB owner looking to get some quick and dirty access for their coffee shop, restaurant, etc.   I have been able to address some of the dropouts by adjusting radio channels on the two AP's.  I do not live in a super congested neighborhood so I am surprised that this would be something that I would need to do.  This is also something I would expect the device to see as a potential issue and "auto adjust" as necessary.  Either way, a very simple fix that isn't a big deal.   As for the GX20 speed, I don't figure I will ever use the full 400 Mbps that I have through my ISP but having a 1 Gbps router not operate at its intended speed is a huge problem no matter how you shake it.  I am hoping to get some time to really troubleshoot this issue later this week.  Hopefully, I can rectify this one issue and I will be happy with the product.   I don't need to tweak things or anything like that.  Honestly, I do enough of it that all day every day at the office, so I don't really want to do it when I get home.  However, that being said, it would be nice to have some very basic adjustments available to me in the interface.  The product is new, so I am hoping it evolves.  I am not terribly interested in a lot of the competition, I love Cisco products and want this to work out for sure.   Mark ...
