You can use CMAK to configure this on Win 7. The only problem is that once you've configured the file and install it on the end user computer, you cannot go back and change some settings in the created VPN. Instead you would have to create a new install file, remove the old VPN, and install the new. ... View more

Your first step is to find out some basic information on your network. Go to Security Appliance > Configure > Addressing & VLANs in the Meraki dashboard. Here you will find the VLAN ID for any VLAN you have on your network, as well as the MX IP for the VLAN. In most cases, this MX IP is the Default Gateway for the VLAN. You will also see a /XX number after the network IP (i.e 192.168.1.0/24). Use this table here to find out what the Netmask is for your specific VLAN.   Next, navigate to Security Appliance > Configure > DHCP. Here you can see the DNS nameservers used for the VLANs.   With all this information, go to the AP you are trying to assign a static IP to. Click on the Pencil next to the LAN IP Change the Type to Static IP For the IP, assign it an IP that is in your network. If you are unsure of what is an available IP, try doing an IP scan of your network For VLAN, write in the VLAN ID of the network. You found this information out earlier For Subnet mask, use the chart I posted earlier and change that /XX number to the appropriate netmask from the chart The Gateway is the MX IP of the VLAN Primary DNS/Secondary DNS was found when you looked at DHCP.       ...

Looks like I forgot to hit post on this yesterday. There is a easy way to do this, but requires a bit of setup. Create group policies for your network based on client needs. This is found under Network Wide > Configure > Group Policies Navigate to Security Appliance > Configure > Firewall In the Outbound Rules area under Layer 3, create a rule to Deny Any traffic from Any Source to Any Destination. Now that you've done all this, for any client you want to allow Internet access, just assign them a group policy. If someone tries to plug into the MX device and they do not have a group policy assigned to them, they will not get Internet access. If you know the MAC address of the device prior to them connecting, you can add it under the clients page and assign a policy so that they will have access right away. ... View more

Hi @GHSTAFF2017, Power cycling is a technical way of saying "resetting" it. When you power cycle a device, you turn it off and then turn it back on again. If you were to set the IP static, just make sure it's something not in use on your network. ... View more

Fantastic swag this month. The umbrella was super useful as we got hit with rain this weekend. Maui was not happy at first, but once I put the umbrella on the ground and he was protected from the elements, he didn't mind being outside while I was getting stuff out of the shed. ... View more

We actually had a similar situation a few months back. What we did was put each hop from our router to Google DNS until we found what was causing our packet loss issue. Once we saw which hop along the way was causing the loss, we contacted them and they were able to resolve the issue. Keep in mind that while 0.28% is reported, this number is an average of a time period. When we were able to drill down to the 2 hour view vs last day or week, I was able to see packet loss of 5-9% during the same time period.    In my mind, the most important packet loss you should be concerned with is that from your modem to your modem's gateway. If you are experiencing loss at that point, you need to work with your ISP to resolve that link. Once it goes past that, you are at the mercy of the Internet. ... View more
