Access point in warning state with "AFC missing height configuration"

[cmr]

One of my CW9163Es has just started displaying the error: 

• AFC missing height configuration

The Meraki help just says this...

Has anyone else had this come up and know where to complete the missing AFC database information?

[cmr]

Bear in mind that I am in the UK and as far as I can see AFC is an FCC controlled (US) thing..?

Thats why it's missing 😂

I am not sure about the UK regulations. But are you already allowed to use 6GHz outdoors? And your RegDomain is setup correctly?

[cmr]

The first half of the 6GHz spectrum was approved in 2021, second half still being considered.  Reg domain is correct.  I know the Meraki APs weren't licensed for it a month or so ago, but do know they were working on it.

[KarstenI]

At least in Germany, the 6GHz approval is only for indoors with internal antennas. Here, we couldn't enable 6GHz on an outdoor AP.

[cmr]

Actually @KarstenI you might be right.  It looks to me like you can only have 25mW outside, whereas you can have 250mW inside...

Have you checked with Meraki Support?

[cmr]

Not yet, I am running r31 beta firmware, so it may be a new feature that is part implemented...

[BlakeRichardson]

@cmr I don't have any CW9163Es but there isn't a field on the dashboard to enter installation information for that model of AP?

[cmr]

Nothing I can see, hoping someone else might have one and has found it!  I did try repositioning the AP on the map just now and will reply if it works.

Have any firmware updates just happened?

I suspect there was a change in the back end, and this slipped out by accident.

[cmr]

Indeed, it might be as I'm on beta you don't see the changes.
