Detailed Python Guide

[MMoss]

I'm trying to learn API's but having some issues. Is there a really good guide focusing on Meraki? I've been over the different Meraki pages, but I'm looking more for a step by step guide. I'm having no luck getting the various scripts to run.

This is a link to the Python quick start guide.  It uses the Meraki SDK.

I may have used that one but will try again. My biggest hurdle is that I have no one to help me out unfortunately which is why I was hoping for a detailed guide lol. Getting old really hurts that flexibility in learning new skills.Thanks @PhilipDAth I'll give that a go and finger crossed, make some head way.

If you run into a specific issue, post here and we'll see what we can do for you. None of us started off knowing how to make it work.

Thanks, I'll be hitting it again soon, at least I've gotten Postman working for now 🙂 

Is there a way to force the power setting on an AP? I set it to 24 and the AP stays at 16. Actually other than the templates and posted material is there a way to dig into what you can do within the code?

[PhilipDAth]

Does the dashboard allow you to configure greater levels than 16?  Perhaps it is not allowed with the combination of AP and antenna in your regulatory zone.

@PhilipDAth It's set to 30 because I couldn't get it to go any higher, I have them in bridge mode because I cannot get a cable between them and I'd like to increase the power some to try and get a little more bandwidth.
