Since then, Meraki discontinued this public service, though many access points remain active, but with no connection to the Internet. In July 2008, Meraki said 100,000 people in San Francisco used its 'Free the Net' service. By October 2007, they estimated 20,000 distinct users connected and about 5 terabytes of data transferred in this network. In the first year of the project, the growth of the network was primarily in the Mission District. They started putting gateway devices in the Lower Haight neighborhood to provide Internet access and giving away repeaters. In 2007, Meraki selected San Francisco for their community-based Free the Net campaign. Meraki employed people who worked on the MIT Roofnet project. The organization started in Mountain View, California, in 2006, before relocating to San Francisco. Meraki was funded by Google and Sequoia Capital.

The company was based in part on the MIT Roofnet project, an experimental 802.11b/g mesh network developed by the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Meraki was founded by Sanjit Biswas and John Bicket, along with Hans Robertson. Meraki was acquired by Cisco Systems in December 2012. Their products include wireless, switching, security, enterprise mobility management (EMM) and security cameras, all centrally managed from the web. Cisco Meraki is a cloud-managed IT company headquartered in San Francisco, California.
