Meraki AP alerting issue

[SudipRai]

Has anyone faced this issue in which Meraki AP goes on in alerting mode. The alerts we're encountering include "Disabled Gateway Bad DNS" and "Repeater Warning NAT or Firewall Issue." We have tried contacting Meraki Team for support but they are failing solve the issue.

Do you have an upstream firewall?  I would ensure that the required ports, IP's etc are allowed through as per the firewall rules highlighted in the Help section on the dashboard.

I agree with @DarrenOC seems like a firewall issue. If you login to the local status page of one of the devices what is it reporting.

Internet connection and speedtest is good while connecting to this alerting APs but they are displaying this. Accessing them from the Meraki Dashboard is quite laggy though.

If it can't find a working Ethernet connection then it is failing to get an IP address from the switch port it is plugged into.  Try testing the port with a notebook.

 where do you connect the Ethernet cable @PhilipDAth ?

It's an AP - why wouldn't it have an Ethernet port?

Check that these are reachable from the subnet on which your AP's ride.

Hi @SudipRai , is this an existing or new deployment?

I see you have 300+ devices deployed so if an upstream issue then more devices would be affected.

Are all the devices on the same subnet?

Could this be a dhcp issue with the pool not being big enough to serve all the devices?
