If you are a Cisco partner you can go through your sales-order team for a trial (that's what we do).

Can you power cycle at least one of the APs? Failures on updates can occur from time to time, but all of them at once is a bit odd. In your case I would also check DHCP leases and ports the APs are connected to. The fact that some of the APs had turned to repeater mode before the update, mean that they weren't able to receive an IP through the wired interface.

Unless I am mistaken, you cannot see wireless statistics for connected clients. Systems manager, also not yet showing any info.

26.7 seems to solve issues we were seeing in MR33s. So far it seems good to deploy.

Once you enable sticky mac, check on the switch port config if the mac of the printer is added on the whitelist. If you do not see the mac of the printer added, check with another device (laptop). If you see a mac added, check if it is the same with the printer. If it is not, delete it so that it can be automatically populated again.

Still looking around the new app. Certainly an improvement over the old one.

I have not used one yet, but according to the install guide, there is no blue led status. https://documentation.meraki.com/MG/MG21%2F%2FMG21E_Installation_Guide Have you gone through the setup progress on the local page? https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Tools_and_Troubleshooting/Using_the_Cisco_Meraki_Device_Local_Status_Page#MG_Series Does the MG have a signal? Is it connected? Maybe the SIM has a PIN ?

We have a big issue with wireless printers. Other than that, it seems stable.

Many questions here. Have you done a survey in the office? Are the problems seen in a specific area, or all the office? Do all the users have the problem or specific devices? Have you seen the problem occurring? One can expect the users in the middle of the office, occasionally roam from one AP to another causing their disconnection (which may be even worse if using DHCP on the AP for your SSIDs).

Happy to be part of the community.

Also check if all your APs were part of the same Meraki order and that this order does not contain equipment that you don't want to add to the dashboard. Claiming the order itself on the dashboard will add all the APs automatically.

antonis_sp · ‎Jan 23 2020

You are correct, my mistake. 802.3.

antonis_sp · ‎Jan 23 2020

It depends. Some older tp-link APs used only “passive PoE” which is not compatible with the standard. If the output voltage is 24V, then certainly not. You should check if the injector supports any POE standard (*802.3af/at).

Not only Wi-Fi cannot work as full-duplex, but also two or more devices cannot transmit or receive traffic simultaneously. Unlike 3G/4G, Wi-Fi uses unlicensed frequencies in the spectrum, which simply means you do not have to pay for using them. Not only frequencies used for WiFi are quite limited, but also other technologies use the same frequencies (bluetooth, zigbee, radar systems). On top of that, there is also a lot of interference on these frequencies (microwave ovens, wireless cameras). Long story short, at any time WiFi devices have to make absolutely sure that a certain frequency is "free" from other transmitions before they can even send one packet to each other. Even MU-MIMO can only allow a few devices to transmit or receive at the same time (still one-way).

As far as I can see, BGP cannot be used for this purpose on Meraki, unless something has changed since this post https://community.meraki.com/t5/Security-SD-WAN/BGP-Configuration-on-MX/td-p/28710

This message usually means that the device is claimed on another organization. If you haven't done this, you should call support.

antonis_sp · ‎Jan 21 2020

This would depend on how your ISP handles the two connections. Have you asked them? We usually handle two WAN links to the same customer as primary/backup, so when one fails, address ranges are routed to the second link.

antonis_sp · ‎Jan 16 2020

If support cannot fix this remotely, then you will have to reset the device yourself. I've only had this issue with random APs so far. Some were fixed by the support team, some had to be reseted manually.

antonis_sp · ‎Jan 16 2020

You would need an external user database to handle the attribute for vlan assignment. Meraki user management does not support this.

antonis_sp · ‎Jan 16 2020

Only solution would be using 802.11w option, in order to enable management frame protetion. The problem here is that not all devices support this feature. You may find more info here https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/WiFi_Basics_and_Best_Practices/802.11w_Management_Frame_Protection_MFP

Secondary IPs are not available on Meraki. (and would not be recommended anyway)

I was playing around with the API today and found the following option. https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api/#/rest/api-endpoints/devices/get-organization-devices It will return information on all devices, including firmware version. "firmware":"wired-15-23"},

I see we were talking about this on twitter as well back on '18. Still not resolved then.

Hello all, I'm trying to confirm an issue I am seeing on multiple MR33 APs. RF spectrum page for 2.4GHz shows a constant signal on channel 5. This can be seen on multiple APs, on different sites. Could you check if you see the same behaviour in your MR33 APs ?

antonis_sp · ‎Dec 18 2019

As always with WiFi, it depends. What type of devices, running what applications? There is no fixed number of devices that the AP supports. 100 devices or more could be simply connected, doing backround sync tasks, without issues. Do all devices have problems at the same time (which may be a routing issue), or specific devices? Are the intermittent issues caused by the number of devices, or by an outside interference?
