So the bar is a timeline.        If you hover over it, you can see the various events, and I would guess on the far right of the bar, there's now a small green section.    The 'status' indicator is the live status - what the actual state of the AP is right now.    If the AP is broadcasting, passing traffic, and shows online in the status indicator, you should be good.  ...

We set up a webhook into Teams to notify of the VPN tunnel going down and immediately had to shut it off as we were getting constantly pinged. I'm glad they're on top of it enough that they CAN show us the second-by-second up and down, but being able to tune that up and say "only notify if down for x number of seconds" would be VERY helpful. ...

It doesn't appear that you're filtering the API query, but you are filtering the dashboard query.    If I run the query on Dashboard and don't filter it, it's at least closer to the number of results returned for that same query via the API.          ... View more

We're rolling out a bunch of the Wifi 6 APs, so not likely to bump up to Wifi 7 anytime soon. We tend to run about 2-3 years behind the newest standard as we don't need fast speeds.    I do worry about the constant build toward faster and faster speeds. Most of our apps are built to work at sub 15 Mbps speeds for our rural locations on satellite internet or other low-speed connections.  ... View more

There isn't a built-in report for what you're asking that I can see, but you could likely cobble together a report using a few API calls and aggregating the data once every hour or day.    https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-network-wireless-clients-onboarding-history/ Return counts of distinct wireless clients connecting to a network over time   To get more granular, you could set up a script that calls each AP on the network by tag every hour or day, and collate that.  https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-network-wireless-client-count-history/   Combine it with the wireless devices health check, and I think you'd be close to the picture you want. https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-network-wireless-devices-health-scores/   ...

This is the same response we got from the gateway manufacturer we pivoted away from. If that's your recommendation, why do you sell a MX68 model with built-in wifi antennas? 🙂 If the expectation is that it will be locked away in the bowels of a building, why would anyone buy a box (MX68W) that is specifically made to broadcast its SSIDs directly from the gateway?  ...

We did a lot of testing of external RP-SMA antennas on a different gateway provider. Same form factor, same size, just different vendor. The problem we kept running into was output power from the gateway itself. No matter how big the antenna was, or what it promised, the included gateway antennas provided roughly the same output because the gateway was the limiter on the power, not the antennas. Often, because of the severe signal fall-off in the cable, an external antenna placed just a few feet from the gateway was significantly worse than the screw-on antennas.    It was theoretically worth it for us as some of our locations have the network cabinet behind a steel or thick cinderblock wall, so signal loss was already severe. We investigated the antennas because we planned to run the cable through the ceiling and install it in the ceiling tile above the point of sale counter. Even with the signal loss from the cable, it would still be better than the nearly non-existent signal from the included antennas.    The only improvement we saw overall from using an external antenna was when we utilized a directional antenna and pointed it directly at the Point of Sale counter. That seemed to "jump through" the wall and provide decent signal at the POS, but there was almost no signal anywhere else (as expected).    We investigated a few antenna providers, and the one we finally decided on was Panorama Antennas. They shipped us a bunch of POC units and we tested them extensively.    For the ceiling drop, we decided on this model: https://panorama-antennas.com/product/cmx-24-58-2-low-profile-mimo-wifi-antenna/   And for the directional, we decided on this: https://panorama-antennas.com/product/wmmx9g-24-72-nj-directional-mimo-antenna-2-3-7-2ghz/   Now, all that to say: We ended up pivoting away from that solution entirely in favor of an external access point and have not deployed this en masse to the field, but I was happy with these antennas.    If you reach out to Panorama, they will likely ship you a POC unit to try with the MX68W.    Also: Not affiliated with Panorama in any way. Just liked their product.  ... View more

I don't recommend leaving an open session to your Vision Portal running unsupervised overnight. If you don't have anyone monitoring overnight, then a better and more secure solution would be to have them log in when they first come in, as it sounds like the portal runs without issue during the workday (8 hours).  ...

Safe configuration means that “the device has connectivity to cloud and hasn't rebooted for 30 minutes following a configuration change.” That is, the safe configuration is the last configuration the device received from the cloud that was not followed by a reboot within 30 minutes.    Basically, it pulled a config, rebooted, and then lost connection.  I'm not sure if that's what is happening in your case, but it's the only reason Cisco states for why you might have interruptions due to lack of dashboard/internet connectivity.  Did everything start working again when it reconnected to the cloud?  ...
