From what I can tell, it looks good.   Here's one or two things I want you to try.   - use ipconfig /all on comand promt, you don't have to post the results but check what it shows as dns - try to ping 8.8.8.8 from comand promt, does it fail or work? - also try tracert 8.8.8.8 , does it go thru or does it timeout?  - kinda last go to the settings page of the new vlan and change dns-servers for the vlan from Upstream to Google DNS   repeat the tests and see if there's any difference   Keep in mind if you share info, make public ip address, mac-address and other things you don't want people to know unreadable ...

Your GX50 is connected to the Internet. So it seems you're spot on on the WAN-setup and you don't have to change anything there.   The problem has widely to do, with how you run your local network. Usualy the default Port-Setting (Trunk) runs smoothly, but very very rarely it causes troubles.   Once I switched from Trunk to Access it solved all connection problems I had. It became a bit weird after the problem was fixed, because it didn't matter if a port was set to Trunk or Access, it just kept working. The problem is not reblicable. Once fixed it's gone.   I am sorry you got confused with my first answer to your post. I should have just told you, to change the port settings on the connections you had trouble with.      ...

So let's talk about the VLAN settings and how Access and Trunk are different: Access is used to connect a device that does not depend or doesn't use a VLAN tag to connect to the GX-device.   Trunk allows connections for devices that use VLAN like the Meraki Go Switches or Access Points to connect to the GX-device. This allows you to connect a switch with just one LAN cable to the GX but still using different VLANs on the switch or the Access Points.   Now in some cases if a Port is set to Trunk mode it drops traffic because the device connected to it, isn't using VLAN tag. So the GX thinks it's a faulty connection, even it is not.   This setting can be found at Hardware -> device (GX50) -> SEE ALL PORTS -> Port x -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> VLAN Configuration   The use of different VLANs allowes you to devide your network into different segments. On GX devices VLAN-routing is enabled. This means you can access a device on VLAN2 from VLAN1 or the other way around. You are not able to explore the other VLAN, you have to know the IP-address of the other device. Here you can set Level3 firewall-rules to block or allow traffic between VLANs.       ... View more

Hi @Mendo54    I've seen your reply on the other topic:   I would like to answer your question here:   A Modem is a device, that connects you to the Internet. It modulates and de-modulates the digital signals used on the LAN to analog signals used on the internet.   IP adresses in general can be devided into public-IP-addresses and private-IP-addresses. This goes for IPv4 and IPv6, I am only talking about IPv4 here. Class A 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, Class B 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 or Class C 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. Those would be considered private IP ranges. Any other IP address range can be considered public.   I assume your ISP is handing out a random public IP and doesn't assign always the same IP to your internet-connection.   Now the modem/router from ISP1, I am using at my office, has a small built in router. The public IP gets assigned to the modem/router and is translated to a sigle port when I activate passtrough. The modem/router I use at my house is from another ISP and works differently, this one acts just as a modem and the public IP is directly assigned to the router connected to it.   On ISP1 I have to use a static connection because the IP of the modem/router never changes, on ISP2 I am using DHCP-connection because this ISP assignes the IP directly to my router.   Your problem might be that GX50 drops untaged traffic. ...

Hello @Mendo54    It's sad you run into this type of problem with your GX50. You are 1 out of maybe 5 people, who run into this type of problem. Like I did with my GX20 on first setup. Here's my story: Solved: Re: General setup - The Meraki Community   I am sure the Meraki Go support team would like to investigate this problem. Please file a support-ticket in that matter.   First, I would like to ask you, to leave the settings on the Default VLAN1 as they are. Create a new VLAN on the GX50 as described here: Configuring VLANs in Meraki Go - Cisco Meraki   Then configure Port 4 on your GX50 to act in Access mode on the newly created VLAN and connect your laptop to port 4, description on how to do so can be found on the same linked page.   Switching Portsettings from Trunk to Access solved my problem, so I hope it will solve yours too.   Cheers and good luck ...

Hello @KevinW    You can only set the maximum limit on Meraki GO. There is no option for a minimum bitrate.   This would be under Traffic shaping when you look at the Settings page of the wireless network.     You can set the limit by selecting one of the options     You can select the limit by moving the green dot.   Cheers ...

You say the port-forwarding on your GX20 isn't working. What makes you believe it isn't working?   I know, currently you can have problems setting it up on web.meraki-go.com, when I pick a device from the list the screen turns green and gets stuck. But entering the IP address of the device manually works fine. The android app seems to be working too.   I have a couple of port-forwarding rules on my GX20 and they all work fine. ... View more

Hello @Daryl1    I am a bit puzzled with what you described.   The GX20 sits behind a firewall but gets a public IP? I assume your WAN settings on your GX20 don't have the IP-range of Class A 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, Class B 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 or Class C 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. Those would be considered private IP ranges.   Here's an example: This GX20 sits behind a modem/router set as passthrough, so all incoming traffic is directly send to the GX20. It uses a Class B type address to connect to the modem/router. No firewall rules apply to that type of connection.   If it is true, that you get a public IP and no firewall rules apply, you should be able to ping the GX20 over the internet. But some routers are set to NOT respond on ping requests on the WAN-port and others have different rules when to accept a ping.   I am able to ping the public IP of that GX20 shown in the example and get a response, even I am not 100% sure the response is from the GX20 because I don't have the tools to figure out what device really responded (ISP-router, GX20 or web-server).   Personally I think it is a good thing not to receive a ping over the internet from a router. Unless you run a web-server or something similar on the public IP.   Should you be worried ping isn't working? Definitely not. You have other ways to check if the GX20 is online, and should not depend on a ping.   Cheers ... View more

Hello @Simon2    Create a wireless-network for your bulbs only and set that to 2.4GHz band only. It will also allow you to set other regulations for the bulb-network.   Your main wireless-network can run on Dual Band Operation or any other Radio Setting you prefer.   More info can be found here Meraki Go - WiFi Access Point Feature Details - Cisco Meraki and here Meraki Go - Creating and Deleting Wireless Networks - Cisco Meraki   Cheers     ...

hello @M-W-Computer    I assume you did try to add the portforwarding rule on web.meraki-go.com with a webbrowser. When I did try, I selected a device from list and the screen went all green.   Then I tried this: 1. Select the VLAN the device is on and go back 2. Go to Settings - Advanced Settings - Port forwarding 3. Entering the IP manualy, first thing to do and ADD should turn to ADD 4. Enter Name, Protocol, Local and Public Port and then SAVE it   It seems web.meraki-go.com is a bit buggy lately. The android app was working fine, without any problems. You might want to use your phone to set the rules you want to apply.   Cheers ... View more

Hi @Bloom    Try to remove the not working GR10 from your account. Wait for an hour or so before you add it again. Removing Hardware from an account can take a while.   Add the GR10 to your account before you connect it to anything. Connect it to power and network once it shows on your account. Give it some time before you start looking into the settings of the GR10. Most Meraki Go hardware finishes connecting and upgrading within 30 minutes.   Also pay attention to the status LED on the front of the GR10:   If this doesn't work, file a support-ticket and have Meraki-Support look into it.   Cheers ...

When I said, the GR wasn't available, I ment it was sold out at the time.   I finally got a GR12 and added it to my network. This time the installation took about 2 minutes.     For now I am done with remodeling my network-setup. It is now working the way I want it to. ... View more

Hello @bturner    Have a look at Meraki Go - Local Network Addressing - Cisco Meraki   If you want change the scope, set a new Subnet Mask. 24 (default setting) gives you 253 ip-adresses, 25 would give you 125 and 30 only 1 ip-adress.   You could also set a list of Reserved IP-Adresses, that would stop the GX50 from deploying them to clients:     Cheers ...

Some ISPs offer a failover-solution and some don't. My cable ISP at home doesn't offer this option, while my ISP at my workplace offers this solution. It comes with another plan. My business doesn't depend on an internet connection like yours.   My suggestion would be, to look for an ISP, who offers a plan that includes a failover-solution. Usualy it comes with a smaller price then having two plans from different ISPs.   If that's not available look for a dual-WAN or multi-WAN router. Some have a build in 5G modem and some will need a dedicated modem for it. ... View more

It isn't easy to make any suggestions without knowing more.   I assume: - You are using the Meraki GO gateway (GX-20 or GX-50) with a static WAN-IP on your Spectrum modem. If not it might be worth to give that type of connection a try. - Phones are connected directly to the Spectrum modem and are not part of the Meraki GO network.   I assume that, because I have a similar setup at home with my cable ISP.   I don't see how a secondary internet connection (Starlink or Nighthawk) will fit in that type of setup, since the Meraki GO gateway offers only one WAN-port. You would have to switch the connection manually and you might have to change settings on the gateway every time you do that. Not knowing which connection is stable or not at the given time.   When you say they are working on an issue locally, this issue happens at your place or in your area? Did you ask Spectrum to replace the modem?      ... View more
