getting this message when trying to add AP's to a network "A bound combined network may only contai

[TJC]

I have a network that is bound to a temple that has MX, ms-130s, Wireless.    When I try to add newly claimed AP's I am getting the following message.  "A bound combined network may only contain bound networks"

what am I doing wrong?

[alemabrahao]

Only networks that are also bound to the same template can be added to a bound combined network.
The newly claimed APs are not yet part of a bound network, so Meraki blocks the addition.

Can you show exactly what you are trying to do?

I unbound the template from the network and was able to bind the AP's.

What I don't understand is we built the template with an AP in it. So, I would think I should have been able to add the new ones in.

This is expected behavior, as far as I remember, so in this case, what you can do is go to Organization > Configuration Templates.
Find the template your combined network is using.
Create a new network (e.g., a wireless-only network) and link it to the same template.
Add the new APs to this linked network.
If necessary, combine this new network with the existing combined network.
