section excerpt Cisco Systems, Inc. § Cisco Meraki.[edit]

Meraki is a cloud managed IT infrastructure division of Cisco acquired in 2012. Cisco Meraki devices include network firewalls, switching, wireless access points and security cameras all managed from their online web portal.

All Cisco Meraki devices require paid licensing to work and are very strict if this becomes out of compliance. Failure to obtain proper licensing will not only remove equipment configuration access in the portal, it will cease all internet traffic from otherwise operational devices.

Consumer impact summary

Locked down hardware (SecureBoot) since ~2018. Hardware before 2018, or with SecureBoot exploits may be reflashable to OpenWRT.

Built on open source, but delays releasing source code,, and/or releases source code that doesn't build.

Creates tons of e-waste (e.g, on eBay).

Some models may brick if tampered with.

Business model

Subscription-based cloud-managed networking hardware. Primarily for businesses.

Incidents

Add one-paragraph summaries of incidents below in sub-sections, which link to each incident's main article while linking to the main article and including a short summary. It is acceptable to create an incident summary before the main page for an incident has been created. To link to the page use the "Hatnote" or "Main" templates.
