Why no option for traffic and firewall shaping on Meraki wifi

Hi All

I have noticed, in some of my networks under the wifi tab, some have the firewall and traffic shaping options available, some networks don't. Why would this be ?

Kind of a big deal

Do you have the same type of licensing for both?

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Do you have old firmware or old model APs? Speculating that might be a cause. Are some of these networks only running in guest mode with Meraki NAT? That would make a firewall unnecessary.

Are you a full admin or a network admin in the networks where you can't see those options?

Assuming you're an admin in all of these networks, it's likely that they are bound to a template.

Networks bound to a template will only show the following options.

To change firewall and traffic shaping settings, you will need to edit the template itself (which will impact all networks bound to it).
