By playing around on the web-app I found this It can be found when you Edit an existing VLAN. This will allow you to set a DNS Service for each VLAN differently. I wasn't aware this was possible. I assume Upstream DNS stands for the WAN DNS of the GX-device, the DNS has to be optained thru DHCP or manualy entered when you use a static connection on the WAN. Then you have pre-sets for Google DNS and OpenDNS and you can set two Custom DNS for the VLAN.

no idea what the recommended way is. I usualy just pull the plug since there is no power-button on my device. The reboot-option can be tried, even it didn't help solve connection problems I have had in the past. When I shut down/restart my Network, I usualy turn off all devices and then start up the devices one by one with some waiting time in between. (Modem -> Router -> Switches -> Access-Points -> NAS -> Printer -> PC)

Hello @Tintin First thing to try is to see if a reload of the site has the same outcome. Next step would be to clear the browser cache. If both tries didn't work, you could try to power off the Meraki network and turn it back on. Another step would be to change DNS-server on your settings. Googles DNS is 8.8.8.8 as example for IPv4. Cheers

Can't delete a domain from Block a website list When I delete the Website URL the button Save stays black. When I hit Chancel the Warning pops up but hitting Save doesn't store the settings. Tried it on web-app and Android app with the same result. Thanks to Meraki Support, I figured it was an error forced by user. Did try to delete it from the wrong tap.

Good to know but.... not available on android app 2.90.0 or on the web app ☹️

Since Android 12, Google ended support for L2TP-protocol. Sadly there is no VPN-app available to add L2TP support to Android 12 and higher. You can go and ask Google to add L2TP support again or make a wish here and ask for IKEv2 support on GX50-VPN. Cheers

hello @briguy111 A modem is a device that connects one device to the internet. Usualy it doesn't come with a build in DHCP-Server. There's only one IP available on the LAN-port and the LAN-connection then needs to be set manualy. A router connects one network to another network. Most ISPs give you a Router with a build in Modem. The Router-part now offers DHCP to LAN-devices and makes sure, every device on the LAN can connect to the internet. The Router/Modem I got from my ISP, is set to act in "passtrough-mode". Means: all traffic is sent to one single port on that device. In order to have an internet-connection, I had to set up the Security Gateway (in my case a GX20) manualy (with static connection) and also set the DNS manualy. It sure would be nice to be able to set your preferred DNS manualy on DHCP-mode. That would belong to the Make-a-Wish-section. Cheers

Hello @Image_Acquire I don't have an iPhone nor do I use GR-devices, but I have something similar going on with my wifi. When I check my Network, I can see a device, usualy a Smartphone I don't know. That device was never connected to my wifi, first time I saw that device I was worried. But after some research I figured it is a device that has "Allways connect to WIFI when in range" enabled. So the device tries to connect to my wifi, the router notes the connection but due to the missing password there is no real connection going on. I added MAC-blocking but it never solved the problem, the device was or is visible sometimes. To block devices on Meraki Go: Blocking Devices on Your Meraki Go Network - Cisco Meraki I assume what you see is a device that did try to connect to your wifi but got blocked. You could ask someone you know with an iPhone to come by and see what happens (don't tell them the password). If it shows the same result, you can be sure your wifi is secure. Cheers

Saturday 8:06AM EST the problem seems to be solved.

I agree with you 100%. Meraki team should fix the problems immediatly, better yesterday then tomorrow! What I showed you, is a way to create individual VLAN on the GX20 with the limitations currently affecting the device. It is up to you, what you do with that information. I didn't turn off DHCP on Default LAN. But each VLAN has own range and DHCP. The term Dummy-LAN was ment to express that it's there but not used. English isn't my first language, so you might have to read a bit into my typoneese.

Hello @Midwest_IT I can confirm it's not possible to Edit the Default Network. I set the Default on my GX20 to be a Dummy-LAN, it's there but not in use. Creating individual VLANs on each GX20 might solve your problem. I know it's just a work-around. It also prevents you from having each LAN called "Default", since we were never allowed to change the name of the default network. Due to this ERROR: In order to save the settings on the VLAN you have to click on Cancel and then SAVE it from the Warning page. Editing a VLAN once saved is not possible, the only way to do it, is to Delete the VLAN and start from the beginning.

Adaptive Load Balancing is used when a Switch has no support for Link Aggregation. It can be used without the need of supporting hardware. Most Switches in a lower price-range only offer Static Link Aggregation. Static Link Aggregation can cause problems on a Synology NAS when you need to use Virtual Switch on them. That's the case if you want to run Containers on them or a small Virtual Machine. What I learned back then, if you want to have a Switch supporting Dynamic Link Aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad), you have to dive deep into their specs before you buy them.

Thank you @Hoamboy I am using the app on android and its current Version is 2.86.0. Guess we will have to wait and see what the next Firmware-Update to the GX will provide.

Xydocq · ‎May 16 2023

@Hoamboy thank you for the information. Where did you find the Version History? My GX runs on Firmware 18.1.07, the number 2.87.0 points to the App-Version.

I am not sure if a Router will currently solve your problem to your full satisfaction. as mentioned in the earlier post when it comes to securing the VLAN. You should be able to create different VLANs with the router and add WiFi-Networks to it.

Hello @NuP I am not sure if you can have that on Meraki Go. Meraki Go offers a security feature when setting up a VLAN. This will block all traffic in and out from secured VLAN to all other VLANs. @hidden0 said on another post: "In regards to your question about firewall rules in one direction between two VLANS: currently this is a feature request. However, I'm happy to say it is on our roadmap to be able to set custom L3 firewall rules. You can't do it today, but hopefully you can sooner rather than later. Right now we have the "Secure" toggle on the VLAN which automatically writes L3 firewall rules on the firewall to block any traffic to/from that VLAN on the LAN." So in the future we might have the option to set own rules. But for now it's all or nothing. So you could secure your Customers VLAN and they would only see the speakers on that VLAN, but Admin and IoT will not be able to explore those speakers. And I am not sure if this is available on GR-devices. Configuring Wireless Address Translation will erase the ability to connect speakers to the guest-network.

Hello @RAV1 From what I see you can't change LED settings on the GX20. The only thing you can do with the LED, is have them blinking. Useful if you want to identify a device but kinda distracting when at work and not on a dancefloor 🕺

hello @Morrito Have a look at Meraki Go - Manual Radio Controls - Cisco Meraki

Xydocq · ‎May 12 2023

Sure some weird behaviour. Did you check if your AP truely runs on Bridge Mode? Information can be found here Meraki Go WiFi Access Point Features - Cisco Meraki I don't have a GR12 but changing the mode back and forth helped me to solve other problems I've had with Meraki Go devices. Is it just the NAS or are other devices like computer and printers also affected? Not sure what NAS you are using. In case you have a QNAP did you try to find it with Qfinder pro? Or for Synology with Synology Assistant? It could be possible your NAS is blocking the IP 192.168.29.11 due to a wrong login-attempt. You might want to take a look at the blocked IP-list. Can't really tell what to do with other NAS brands.

Hello @patrykk Your laptop will recieve an IP-adress from a DHCP server. Did you check if the IP-adresses are on the same range when connecting the laptop thru LAN or WLAN? As example: 192.168.10.230 and 192.168.10.100 =same range / 192.168.20.230 and 192.168.10.230 = different range

Sorry to hear the printer isn't doing what it's supposed to do. I have one last question: When you were able to see the printer on the LAN, did you try to print right away or did you delete the printer first from the computers and did a fresh install? I have all my printers set to print on Standard-TCP/IP-Port with static IP. I don't remember what the other connection type was, that was used by default, but it sure was the reason for the problems I had with my printers.

The web-app and the phone-app are now showing the right port-numbers on the settings page.

Xydocq · ‎May 11 2023

Thanks @hidden0 Seems everything is now back to normal on the web-app.

I've had a similar setup some time ago. Wifi-network with an TP-Link extender as wireless adapter to wired devices. Bridge-Mode on Meraki go doesn't stand for wifi-bridge-mode. But it is needed to make things work the way you want it to be. You can find some information on this pages: Meraki Go - Wireless Meshing - Cisco Meraki Configuring VLANs in Meraki Go - Cisco Meraki Meraki Go - Wireless Address Translation - Cisco Meraki Meraki Go - When Bridge Mode is not Available (Auto NAT) - Cisco Meraki Your Meraki go has to be set to "bridge mode" to allow communication between VLANs. NAT-Mode allows Internet-access only. Devices connected to a NAT-type VLAN can't be explored. So your guest-wifi needs to run on a NAT-type VLAN, while devices you wish to share (printer, scanner, etc) or connect to (server, NAS, etc.), need a Bridge-type VLAN. Your TP-Link extender needs to have a static IP once connected to the Meraki Go wifi. Meraki Go - Local Network Addressing - Cisco Meraki Make sure you picked the right VLAN for those settings. DHCP-Server on the TP-Link needs to be turned off. This should allow devices connected to it getting the IPs assigned by Meraki Go. When you're doing the setup, use a Laptop or PC wired to the TP-Link and keep it close to the area where one of your APs or even better your router is located. Try to reach a device connected to the wired Meraki Go VLAN before you move the repeater to it's place.
