Wireless Cameras Troubleshooting

Yesterday I was attempting to change my Camera SSIDs bridge mode from "External DHCP server assigned" to NAT mode. When doing this, the Meraki cameras started to give alerts of "Gateway warning (IP address conflict on uplink)". I changed the camera SSID back to the "External DHCP server assigned" mode and a few came back online without warnings while other went offline. I can't get access to these cameras and I'm assuming the only way I can get them back online is if I am physically present. Are Meraki cameras connecting via wireless not compatible with an SSID under NAT mode?

Kind of a big deal

Remember that in NAT mode, the Access Point's IP is used for communication, and if you need to access an internal resource, NAT mode is not recommended.
Also remember that Meraki MV cameras are designed to work best in Bridge mode.

 

For cameras that went offline, you’ll likely need to reset them, or you can try reboot them.

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