Has anyone found an easy way to track the amount of time a specific client is online on a daily basis ? Is there a log message I can use to automate something with a script or am I making it more complex than it needs to be ?   All I would like to be able to do is figure out how long a particular client is online each day ? Thanks for ideas  ... View more

Can anyone suggest a way to create timed restrictions for a specific wireless client ?   We have a ChromeBox computer (that lives in our Living room and is used by our kids and we try to keep them off it until they get back from school) Because of having had to rearrange the room we have had to switch it to Wireless instead of Wired.   When it was wired we were able to control access on a timed basis using Switch Port Schedules but now that it is wirelessly connected I cannot see an easy way to restrict access to specific times ?   Any ideas ? ...

We have 2 kids at home aged 10 and 12 and I have a new Meraki network running. I enabled Youtube content filtering and then this morning one of them comes to me and tells me they are blocked from a video that they cannot watch....I take the filters off and watch it back myself and find it largely ok so maybe the filters are too tough for our tolerance for "mature content'......it was a gamer blogging about Fortnite and he used a couple of mild profanities and apart from that I could not see any issue with what he said and what was shown (accepting that one of our kids plays Fortnite already) This got me wondering whether the filters are more trouble than they are worth because I cannot really face watching every single video that they ever want to watch before they watch it but at the same time we would like to know what they are watching so is there any easy way to log the URLs accessed per device ?   They have a ChromeBox (with their own Google managed accounts) and so we can see each of their respective  Youtube histories access there. The eldest has an iPhone and younger one an iPad and an xBox....besides these they do not really use many devices that can access the Internet right now  Any other thoughts on how to manage this sort of issue ? ...

Anyone has advice on the combination of Amazon Echo and Meraki ? Have just replaced home Wired / Wireless with Meraki MX / MS / MR combination. So far everything is connected and running fine except the Echo. I have iPhones / iPads / Apple and Chrome Computers / Google NEST and quite a few other wireless clients connected to the Meraki network  I have done nothing to tweak the general WiFi settings but I cannot get the Amazon Echo to hold it's connection  This has to be a pretty common combination and so I am hoping others might be able to share their own setup and any tweaks needed ?   ...
