Thank you all for the recommendation - this resolved the issue. 1. removed AP from network 2. factory reset AP 3. placed AP back into network and let it continue to download configurations 4. tested and confirmed 6 symbol no longer appears next to wifi icon on users Samsung galaxy 10 plus phone. tested text messaged sending successfully.

I called into Meraki support and they disabled this on all APs. We have the MR55 APs in our environment.

On the backend, I had Meraki support disable 802.11ax capabilities on all AP's since it was causing an issue and we didn't anticipate utilizing it yet fully. I do have L3 roaming configured. It is the worst thing ever and Meraki support has confirmed that there are known issues with it. Right now, I am finding a very odd behavior with a user who has a Samsung galaxy 10 + phone that is displaying a number 6 next to the wifi symbol when connected to my network. why is this happening? what does it mean? all 802.11ax capabilities on my access points are disabled. it only happens when the user connects to one specific access point in their area. all aps have the same setting. same as ssid. " When I connect to wifi upstairs and then walk back to the IT room... I can't send or receive txts. As I mentioned before... I still get the "6" showing up on the phone when I am in the IT room but anywhere else... it does not show up. " if the user manually disconnects and then reconnects to wifi ap in their area, then they are able to send the text successfully.

I got an email that is actively in development. They think they will have a beta to announce very soon. I will believe it when I see it. they have been saying this for years.

Hello - I have a location that has 2 MR33 and we are looking to replace them with three MR42E. The intent was to order 3 MR42E devices. 1 will go into main office area (direct network cable plugged into) 5-PAK Omni antenna. 1 will go in the back of the office which is closest to a warehouse building where they want to extend the signal to (Narrow Patch Antenna), and the last one would go into the warehouse building (A/C power supplied since there is currently zero internet access out there and running an aerial or underground cable is not an option for the location with Narrow Patch Antenna) The warehouse is 200ft from back of the office where the MR42E with Narrow patch will be installed. Would is be okay to mix the antennas or will this cause overall issues with the environment which currently has dual band steering? I attached site survey.

I just tested this successfully - when I walked upstairs and around the building, my IP from downstairs stayed the same. the only thing that changed was the VLAN Number. I connected to each of the 17 access points. I have a feeling the TX power is causing an issue with one of our devices disconnecting and reconnecting because a few are 200 feet apart from each other. I have the same two viziocasttvs with two different mac addresses trying to connect to 3 APs...

Previously we were using APs that did not have roaming capabilities. The goal was to have users be able to walk from one area of the building to another for meetings in conference rooms seamlessly without dropping off the network while still holding on to the IP they had. We do not have different SSID names for 1st and 2nd floor. They are all the same name. I am using the Per-AP multiple VLAN tagging. I changed the channel width from 80 to 40 for the 5GHZ.

Users are able to roam successfully to other APs between upstairs and downstairs. The only timeout / drop I get is when I am upstairs heading into the stairwell to go downstairs and vice versa but my device immediately connects back to nearest AP.

it was the request from Higher up so we don't run out of IP in the scope. Concurrently - we have close to 180 users connected to the access points.

We have 17 MR55 AP in our environment - Since the implementation on regular stable firmware, there were many devices who could not see the broadcasting SSID coming from the AP. Some devices were HP and some dell mostly either win 7 or win 10. Some not all... I called Meraki support and they had me push out the beta 26.5 version so they can disable the AP for wifi 6 capabilities... Since then - after doing driver updates to a lot of devices, when connecting to different access points, the clients would connect/disconnect. When reconnecting - the device would take forever to communicate to the AP, then when it finally communicated, it said no internet, until about 10 to 15 minutes later, It was connected successfully. Some users when connected are seeing slowness when saving documents in excel /such.. any ideas.. 1. currently have layer 3 roaming 2. WPA-2 Enterprise 3. Dual band operation with Band Steering radio setting show the following for 2.4 Radio for 5 to add to this - the access points which I am seeing the issues with are about 100 ft apart from each other, do you think this Is causing overlap/interference or client drop off issues? (slowness)

thank you - I will try and test later. to confirm, setup would look like this correct?

does the order matter? When I put VLAN 170 upstairs in second after VLAN 160 downstairs(these are example vlans). I tried to connect since my downstairs AP is behind me and I am downstairs but it would not let me access (it authenticated me but said not internet) When I moved the order where VLAN 160 was set as # 1 for processing order, I was able to connect. Switch downstairs has VLAN160 but not VLAN 170. Switch upstairs has VLAN 170 but not VLAN 160.

Can you create 2 VLANS to use one SSID for Meraki MR55 with Radius Authentication? I want to create the same global SSID for upstairs/downs but I want the downstairs clients to get a VLAN 160 IP address and I want the upstairs clients to get a VLAN 170 IP address. How can this be done using one SSID? Can I create two 802.1X connection policies (1 for VLAN 170 and 1 for VLAN 160)? in Radius clients I have two APS downstairs APs *with downstairs subnet* and upstairs AP *with upstairs subnet* Will it be smart enough to connect and recognize coming from same ssid which vlan to come on to? does it matter the order in the connections request/network policies tabs https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Encryption_and_Authentication/Configuring_RADIUS_Authentication_with_WPA2-Enterprise

Yes, the SSID is in bridge mode. No - there aren't any Meraki L3 Firewall rules configured.

our DHCP is coming directly from our Cisco 4510. Everything is configured correctly - I am trying to see if it is possible with Meraki and Radius to configure two vlans. Management vlan id of AP and vlan id of clients connecting to IP for example lets say my AP IP is vlan 130 10.40.130.100 and my clients connecting to it will get vlan id 131 10.40.131.12 I want to be able to accomplish this on my radius - Meraki using radius authentication my client is authenticating to the radius I am just not getting an IP. it connects and says no internet my IP address is a 169 instead of a 10.40.131.12 IP (these are ex and not actual ip addresses) It states it is VLAN 131 I am seeing this information via the clients tab of my dashboard

I have set up Configuring RADIUS Authentication with WPA2-Enterprise. My AP management IP for MR55-1-Downstairs-AP is configured. USER VLAN ID for this which set up in attribute is 129 - the user who connects to this AP should get an IP that is not management IP of AP but VLAN ID 129 IP. When I test radius server from the radius servers part of the dashboard, my test is successful. However, when I connect to the wireless SSID - I am connected but it say no internet and I get 169.254.xxxx.xxx. IP address. What am I doing wrong? Completed testing to "IP address of Radius server" for corporate\username" Total APs: 1 APs passed: 1 APs failed: 0 APs unreachable: 0 All access points successfully contacted the RADIUS server. RADIUS attributes used: Tunnel-Type:VLAN Tunnel-Medium-Type:IEEE-802 Tunnel-Private-Group-Id:129 RADIUS attributes unused: Framed-Protocol:PPP Service-Type:Framed-User MS-CHAP-Domain:CORPORATE What is missing? I used this link to configure https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Encryption_and_Authentication/Configuring_RADIUS_Authentication_with_WPA2-Enterprise End goal is to implement 17 MR55 devices into my environment.1st Floor devices will use VLAN user ID xxx and 2nd Floor devices will use VLAN user ID xxx. They are both different VLAN IDS for each floor.
