Anyone have release notes and history of gx50 firmware 18-1-07? not sure when they went from 17.10.2 to 18.1.07, but, something in noticed recently which I didn’t notice before…the occasional appearance of IP6 IP addresses on my network devices. I say occadional since if I start rebooting things…I may or may not get ip6 addresses vs ip5 addresses. it would be. Ice if these updates were on a schedule and we had release notes. An email notice in advance would be world class.

We needed a home network to service a 50ft by 25ft home that has 3 floors The equipment evolved from a simple all in one modem/router/NAT which regardless of the device manufacture/model was always needing to be rebooted. We have 3 border cameras which did not work well with an all in one solution. GX50, GS110-8P, 2 GR10, 2 GR12, 1 GX20. Amber X NAS, HP ladder printer, Apple TV streaming, 4 laptops, a few iPhones, 3 video cameras, 3 brown out/surge protectors. 4 Alexa’s , 5 wifi air handlers, 1 wifi water heater, 1 wifi medical grade air purifier. Maybe incorporate the GX20, maybe remove 1 Gr12. May add a second amber x NAS. house has 3 floors and we initially had this equip in the center of 1st floor , wicked worked well , but there was a lot of equipment clutter with wires all over the place in the laundry room in question. Decide to move it to an unused small storage room located at the center of 3rd floor. moved everything and performance was the same. Gx50, gs110, 1 gr12 located in center storage room . Gs110 is center device with gx50 , gr12, and NAS wired. the gr10’s are meshed …1 25ft in each direction….1 on each end of the 3rd floor. all utility devices use the 2ghz meshed network via the gr10’s. Humans and their toys use the 5ghz network on the gr12. The wires and devices are now out of my wife’s sight. Network performance is excellent. We never have to reboot anything. security subscription is on. No guess network. we potentially have an extra gs20 and an extra AP. Maybe they will get integrated later if the second Fw can be used in the same account . any sample network diagrams related would be interesting.

Also if a lot of users with a lot of local video and local file sharing activity , you might want to consider a gs-110 switch. putting extensive local video and local file sharing activity on a switch , with one connection to your gx device would keep local video and file sharing activity out of the management of the gx device since the peer to peer on your local network would be handled by the switch.

In your described setup..I am assuming your “router “ is either a gx50 of gx20 the security subscription is for 1 security device on the account, which topically serves the whole wireless/wired network.

speakerfritz · ‎Sep 21 2023

Can the security prescription be used on two networks and what are limitations? examples gx50 one floor same location isp A and gx20 fame location isp b , different floor , managed by same Meraki go acct or same Meraki go acct , with 1 security subscription gx50 location a , isp a, network a M gx20 location b, isp b, network b Ot Different Meraki go acct , gx50 location a , isp a, network a gx20 location b, isp b, network b Or how else can we use a gx50 and gx20 together? thanks

Also the meshed repeaters have a bandwidth cost penalty ….the repeaters only allow 50% of the bandwidth that the wire AP’s have (assuming 1 hop).

I had 2 gr10’s wired initially i installed 2 gr 12’s wired and moved the 2 gr10’s out to the perimeter as meshed repeaters. Two networks are being broadcasted, 1 for low speed utility devices such as cameras, printers, air conditioners, door bells, etc, and the other for high speed use such as laptops, cell phones, midea streaming, etc. you can run network topography to confirm the APs are running the way you planned. also, there seems to be some tweaking with orientation interns of how they face horizontally or vertically and what is in line of sight to the AP’s. It sure what the optimal arrangement is just letting you know what I did.

2 weeks ago I was at GX50 = GX 17.10.2 GS110-8P = GS 15.21.1 GR12 = GR 29.5.1 Looks like this morning my gx50 went to 17.10.4

Came across this ———————————— For those looking for a list of ports to block, the SANS Institute recommends at least blocking outbound traffic using the following ports: MS RPC TCP, UDP Port 135 NetBIOS/IP TCP, UDP Port 137-139 SMB/IP TCP Port 445 Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) UDP Port 69 System log UDP Port 514 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) UDP Port 161-162 Internet Relay Chat (IRC) TCP Port 6660-6669 ————————————-

Here’s one at 2:00am no one using network no one using voice

speakerfritz · ‎Jun 17 2023

speakerfritz · ‎Jun 17 2023

Yes, there are a lot of strange unexplained metrics. the voice latrncy is one…sometimes it shows a lot of red light n the dial during times when no one is using voice.

speakerfritz · ‎Jun 17 2023

Is there anything useful that can be done with this ? for example…can you setup a rule to allow all wan outbound internet traffic to go out a specified physical port other than your default internet port?

speakerfritz · ‎Jun 11 2023

Definitely need some type of box. But performance may suffer and you would probally wind up with double natting right now, my fail over is on the client side ….a wireless network config is set up of each wan and when one wan goes down the clients switch over automatically to the other only works with smart operating systems and does not work with appliances.

speakerfritz · ‎Jun 10 2023

Finally got around to trying this my gx50 (firmware 17.10) didn’t like this once to wan links were setup , it would not reboot. Stays orange light. had to restore to defaults with a pin to get it to behave. so back to 1 wan link. I guess we need a dual want box in front of these devices. any recommendations?

speakerfritz · ‎Jun 10 2023

Gx50= Gx 17.10.4 Gs110-8p= gs 15.21.1 gr10= gr 29.5.1 gr12= gr 29.5.1

speakerfritz · ‎Jun 10 2023

as part of the ticket everything was forced updated to current levels on the back end. no other changes were made nothing was deleted, re-added, restored to defaults, etc. what ever the problem was it was resolved with the firmware upgrades. everything runs better than before ,

speakerfritz · ‎Jun 8 2023

I opened a support ticket so at least there will be some metrics for gr12 ‘s not updating. It usually takes a few weeks to get a response so it may be a while before I post an update. .

speakerfritz · ‎Jun 8 2023

So I push pinned the reset quickly…the gr12’s rebooted and no change in firmware…they are still at 28.7.1, these (2) are hard wired to the switch. my 2 gr10’s are at 28.6.1, these two are meshed repeaters. the gr12’s have a 100+ millisecond latency when using the test connection icon. This is not expected since they are hard wired using cat6 cables to 1gb ports and ports have been switched to forced gb. the gr10’s which are meshed repeater's show a 40+ millisecond latency. They repeat from gr12’s. Don’t know if the gr10 40 millisecond latency will improve if the gr12 100+ millisecond latency improves. Not loving the idea that a restore to Details reset is needed to get the firmware to 29.x.x so if I don’t do a restore to defaults, the gr12’s will both be stuck at 28.x.x no update now option in software and no check for software updates.

speakerfritz · ‎Jun 7 2023

There is definitely some spooky bananas going on. my wifi 5 and wifi 6 APs have been on auto updates since day one. my wifi 6 AP’s are not at the firmware level you posted….there’s no way of forcing and update to 29.x.x so mosning is not the problem. paid good money for significant hardware which should perform at a predictable level. I should not have to delete devices in the org and read them. Just to trick the hardware into doing current updates. so my wifi 6 devices are at 28.x.x and should be at 29.x.x . Is this going to fix itself or am I going to have to play herky jerky , slippery slope, when ever there is a new firmware upgrade? I have a 2gb isp connection and have the security prescription… what else do I need to do to make this a hands off system. moaning over.

Anyone else having a problem with the Meraki go devices going bookers in the last few days? I had to switch over to my backup wifi connector toon and take everything off the Meraki go devices. Don’t know if there was some update or something that let all the gremlins in. my equipment is fios fiber 2gb meraki go gx50 fw neraki go 8 port switch 2 Meraki go wifi 6 AP’s and 2 Meraki go wifi 5 AP’s. my backup network is a T-Mobile internet gateway which I pay 30 bucks a month for and is only 200mb the T-Mobile gateway never goes down. in getting annoyed with the non transparency with this Meraki go equipment. Meraki should post a notice or something on their announcements page when they do updates that clobber user services. phooey on all the money I spent on this gear .

I just added it to the excluded url in settings it can also be done while viewing the details of the block
