Meraki Firewall & traffic shaping

[VRB]

Why do I have different application categories in my networks? The other one contains more applications in the drop-down list. The only difference is that I have MR36 models on the network with more application lists. Then the other network is a mix of MR33, MR36, MR52, MR44, MR86.

As seen in the picture below.. the Software Updates contain only 2 categories, and the other one has more on the drop-down list. The same thing in other Applications Categories.

If you mix AP models, and one model does not support wifi AX/nbar is falls back to using the meraki categories for that network.

As @ww states you fallback to the lowest common denominator
