Meraki WPN Manager is a cloud-based automation and management module within the Netgraph Connectivity Platform™, purpose-built for creating and maintaining Wi-Fi Personal Networks (WPNs) in Cisco Meraki environments.
It delivers secure, private, and user-specific network segments within shared wireless infrastructures — ideal for co-living, co-working, hospitality, student housing, and enterprise environments.
Key Features and Benefits #
-
Cloud-Based & Fully Managed
Meraki WPN Manager operates as a fully managed SaaS solution, eliminating the need for manual SSID configuration or complex VLAN assignments.
The platform automates the creation, modification, and removal of WPNs, ensuring reliability, scalability, and reduced administrative effort. -
Native Integration with Cisco Meraki
The service integrates directly with Cisco Meraki Dashboard APIs, leveraging Meraki’s native SSID and group policy architecture.
Each user or device is automatically assigned to an isolated WPN, ensuring data privacy and personalized connectivity while maintaining full compatibility with existing Meraki configurations. -
Secure, Private Network Segmentation
Each WPN functions as a personal micro-segment within the shared Wi-Fi infrastructure, providing a unique private network for the user or group.
This prevents cross-visibility between tenants or users, enhancing both security and privacy without additional VLAN complexity. -
Flexible Deployment Options
While optimized for Cisco Meraki environments, WPN Manager can also operate in hybrid setups — for example, when Meraki wireless networks connect through upstream gateways or other vendor infrastructures supporting RADIUS or DHCP integration. -
Self-Service Portal for Users
The Self-Service Portal allows end-users to view and manage their own WPNs, register new devices, and review connection details.
Administrators can easily control user access policies, quotas, and device limits through the same interface. -
Centralized Administration and Monitoring
The Administration Portal provides full visibility into all active WPNs, user associations, and connected devices.
Administrators can track device events, audit user activity, and adjust configuration templates with minimal effort. -
Audit Logging and Compliance
Every change and user event is logged in real time to provide a transparent audit trail, ensuring accountability and compliance with organizational policies.
