Meraki Implementation Note:
Extending a LAN wirelessly between
sites using the Meraki MR58
In a multi-site deployment, wired infrastructure may not be available
between sites, but LAN connectivity for both sites is still required. In
this case, a wireless point-to-point link may be beneficial to connect the
two sites together.
