I am seeing APs health being impacted by Low RSSI Client. See screen shot.

What is causing that? Is that a client leaving the campus? Or moving in to the elevator or stairwell?

?

Normally an indication of a client being further away from the AP. Dense building materials could factor into that equation a bit too.

RSSI is the received signal strength indicator.

A client that is at or past the edge of the designed coverage cel will have a low RSSI (-72 or below).
Since bumping up the power on the access point will only provide further reach downstream, your client will not be able to send back at a higher power since that device is usually limited by it's capabilities. So this means you probably are having coverage holes and need to measure this in a site survey to resolve.

A general tip, go to "RF Profiles":

https://documentation.meraki.com/Wireless/Operate_and_Maintain/User_Guides/Radio_Settings/RF_Profile...

Create a new profile. The most common one I use is "Open Office Profile".

This uses sensible settings. Apply this profile to all your APs.

On the RRM tab enable "AI channel planning" and "Busy hour".
