Can u post your config here of your VPN tunnel? This is a bit easier to help you out.

make sure it's ikeV1 instead of ikeV2.

 

I'm not sure if the 1941 router has the same sort of configuration as a 2811 but here below you have a site to site documentation of this setup

Cheers,

Thre PFS group for phase 2 does not match.  Set it to "off" in the Meraki dashboard to make it match the routers config.

 

Does note that no one should be using 3DES for new deployments.  Also note that the MX has poor 3DES throughput.

What does the event log say? There should be some errors in there that might help.

If you're failing phase 2 then most common is usually mismatched encryption domains. I usually start there. I also see PFS group 1 is set on the MX, but I don't see it in your 1941 config.
