Good day folks, my company recently gave me some hardware, one in particular I’m curious if there are any real use cases for it. I’m not particularly well with networking. This device is a Cisco Meraki MX64. I saw it doesn’t support open WRT so I’m curious if there are any other known projects or alternative software that could run on it. I’d love to toss it in with my network stack but all I have now is just a switch that it’ll plug in to but would love to replace e switch with it.

Those licenses are really poorly priced that’s unfortunate since they seem to be really neat devices do work with VLans for

They are excellent in my experience. Very easy to work with. Had a bad batch of APs that all died on me but that was almost a decade ago and the replacements were just fine. Used a couple of sample devices I got from Meraki (they gave them out for participating in their seminars) and used them until the 2 year license ran out. Now I'm mostly using Mikrotik with RouterOS at home. Way more advanced but also more fun to mess around with.
