Hello,   I am looking at replacing a lot of older Meraki APs and iv been going through the spec of all the possible MR units to decide what to replace them with.   Going through the specs, it seems that the main difference between them all is the bandwidth they can handle.   In recent years our company has been pushing everything to the cloud so we don't really have many local servers left, and the ones we have are not used heavily. That being the case, is having AP bandwidth that is greater than the total bandwidth our internet circuits provide pointless? The MR44 can do 2975 Mbps which is the lowest model that, at full capacity would be more than our internet bandwidth. Am I missing anything?   In terms of range I think they pretty much all have the same tx power potential and antenna gain right? Am I right in thinking there isn't much point in any model above MR44 until we get to the MR57 (which opens the 6GHz band) ? Thanks! ... View more

Hello,   I have an app that runs a ping test from a networks primary mx wan 1 to every other sites primary wan1 and gives me the results.    (the ping test works in tow API calls, a post to ask it to do the tests and then a get to retrieve the results) /devices/{serial}/liveTools/ping" /devices/{serial}/liveTools/ping/{pingId}     For lots of sites it works fine. A few sites have 100% packet loss which is due to firewalls....but some sites return a result saying all the ping tests were received and were successful, but then the api response does not contain the actual latency data. So I just know that 5 out of 5 pings were successful, but no idea what the times were. If I do the ping from the meraki dashboard GUI tool - the pings work properly. I spoke to meraki support who said the dashboard works because the ping tool doesn't go out to open internet but travels inside some secure network. - The api problem must be due to the local ISP's filtering the traffic. But I don't understand what kind of filtering can allow a packet through but somehow strips the packet of certain data? Is that a real thing? ... View more

Hi,   I have an office site with about 20 or so MR44's. They have been complaining for a long time about VOIP issues that has proven very hard to solve as things generally look ok whenever you try to investigate and the problems are extremely intermittent but regular enough to cause complaints. While trying to troubleshoot, I was sat int eh office about 7pm last night with everyone gone so I could make config changes. While I was doing this I was making lots and lots speed tests using speed.cloudfare.com and one or two other tests. I did this moving around all over the office connecting to different AP's. I notices that I was consistently getting Jitter of between 20 and 40. Results below 30 were the least common and it was around 40 most of the time. My up and download speeds were consistent every time. There was no one else in the office, the office in on large site we own which means there are no neighbours - Our WiFi is the only WiFi in range. I even switched SSID to one we have that doesn't go through firewalls or anything, just straight out to the internet and that as giving me the same results!!!! Where is this Jitter coming from??!?! I dont understand 😞 ... View more
