Yes. I really thought that was going to be a fix. Chatgpt seems to think because it's a simulated sine wave not a pure sine wave. I'm tempted to go buy a pure sine wave UPS after returning first one, but they aren't cheap. The one I have now did have me connected on a call for a couple minutes when I first tried it but then did the same thing, power cycles until the call ends, then connects back

Yes. Work has given me more than one brand new one with all updates, and works in office. i am leaning towards a power issue myself. Others said they don't think it is, but I can't fathom how it's not at this point. I bought an Cyberpower 1000 UPS to run the Meraki off that. Didn't solve the problem. Chatgpt said maybe because it wasnt a pure sine wave but a simulated?? I really thought that would be fix since I think it's my power. It does cycle sometimes randomly it seems like but never set times. It's pretty much just when I try to make or receive calls..I wish it was a prank someone was pulling and was that easy to fix.

I can mostly use the work computer fine until I need to do something that uses voice calling. Teams. The program I get customer calls through. It'll start power cycling shortly into being on a call, call will drop out, it'll try and reconnect, the second I end call, it usually stabilizes pretty quickly. Sometimes it'll do a random cycle not on a call, but that's a definite trigger, and keeps me from being able to work.

It worked for years previously. It got more and more unstable to the point I can't work at all once I take a call, it power cycles. I used chatgpt to summarize: **Meraki Z-series keeps power cycling at home, stable at office — extensive troubleshooting done, need insight** I’m dealing with a really strange problem I can’t pin down. - **Hardware swapped:** - I’ve tested **multiple brand-new Meraki Z-series units** (not just one). - I’ve also replaced the **54 V OEM power brick multiple times**. - All new gear → same behavior at my house. - These same units/adapters run perfectly stable when tested at my office. - **Symptom:** - At home, the Meraki will **randomly power cycle**, but most often **during Teams/VoIP calls** or other real-time traffic. - At idle, it can sit on without issue. - When it reboots, my other network gear (Eero Wi-Fi, ISP fiber ONT) stays up — so it’s not an Internet outage. - **Power testing:** - Plugged directly into wall outlets → same behavior. - Put it behind a **CyberPower LE1000DG simulated sine UPS**. Still rebooted. - Even tested with the UPS **unplugged, running only on battery**, to rule out my house wiring. Still rebooted. - House outlet testers show “correct,” but I know I’ve got some grounding/neutral quirks. - **What I suspect:** 1. **Simulated sine UPS output** doesn’t play well with Meraki’s Active PFC 54 V brick, especially under load transitions during calls. 2. **Ground/noise feedback via Ethernet from the ONT (fiber ISP)** could be upsetting the Meraki. Even if AC is isolated by UPS battery, the WAN line could still carry ground reference. Thinking about **fiber media converters or Ethernet isolators**. - **Where I’m stuck:** - If it’s waveform: a **pure sine UPS (CyberPower PFCLCD or APC Smart/BR)** should solve it. - If it’s Ethernet feedback: need to isolate the ONT connection. - Not sure which path to pursue first, since I’ve already replaced everything else. Has anyone else seen Merakis randomly reboot only under VoIP/call load? Did a pure sine UPS fix it, or was Ethernet isolation necessary? I'm trying to avoid an electrician coming out at least for the moment, nothing else is giving me any trouble
