Yes that's obviously a contributing factor, along with many others. However, the fact remains you can seemingly achieve a very similar outcome for a lot less.   I think part of this is down to Cisco's competition improving their cloud solutions. Another is Cisco moving significantly to being reliant on income from subscriptions in one form or another.    What I'm getting at is, it is becoming almost impossible to justify the difference in price between Meraki and their competitors.   When faced with a significant licence renewal, it's quite rightly being questioned. ...

Thankyou - An interesting discussion.  I use Ekahau for design, was really just after the likely reduction in coverage using 6 compared to 5 GHz.  Looking likely additional APs/structured cabling will be required to cover the same spaces.  Haven't had a chance to look at a site and survey/plan yet, but will be interested to see how it works out.   CW9162I APs that have been proposed (Cisco DNA flavoured) to replace the Cisco 3702/2802 APs. ...

Hi,   I believe the MS120 wouldn't be an issue. I already have a MR44 connected at another site to a MS120 and it's displaying power usage as 8.75 W PoE 802.3at.   It was more a question of mixing the Wi-Fi 5 and 6 APs that I wanted thoughts on.   ... View more

Hi Darren - Yes that's an idea.  Would prefer to keep all the kit at the various sites in the one network if possible.  Would also be a bit of an overhead going through all of the different orgs/networks.   It's only an inconvenience really so no big deal, just would be nice if there was a bit more granular control of the recipients for certain alerts.  ...

I've logged a feature request already so hopefully this will get picked up.🤞   Surprised this hasn't been raised before to be honest.  I'm not based at the sites I support so I would have no way of verifying a guest user.  That's why I've set local users up as guest ambassadors to manage this function.  Good to see the email alerts work...just wish I didn't have to see them! 🙂  ...

Hi,   I have a strange issue with a Z3C that was working with EE a couple of weeks ago and now isn't.   I've tried the following:   Tested SIM, works fine in a phone. Tried another Z3C, same issue. Tried another know working SIM, same issue.   I can see you are in a safe mode and able to enter settings relating to the cellular connection (as shown above in the post by @ConnorL ).  On the Z3C there doesn't appear to be an option to configure this when on the local status page?  Am I missing something with going into "safe mode" as shown on the screen shot?   I've logged a support case, just would like to try what has been suggested here but can't same to be able to get to enter the settings as shown.    Firmware version: MX 15.42 ...

Hi @danielpugh I know it's been available for some time if you use the beta release.  When installing kit for a customer it's not best practice to be using beta versions.  It's extremely frustrating that a very common requirement (VPN to Azure) still isn't a feature of a stable release.  ...

Been busy so haven't had a chance to post the reply from support:   "the developers team has acknowledged the issue, they have categorized it, and add it to their backlog. I will let you know when it gets fixed using an email response. Sorry for the inconvenience."   Not sure if this will have to wait until the next release or will be done in the background.  If I get any further updates I'll post them. ... View more

@NolanHerring Thankyou for the information. I understand that regulations play a part but can't understand why a newer model (i.e. the MR36) has a lower maximum setting than the model it's replacing. 🤔   See what Meraki support come back with. ... View more

@cmr thankyou for your comment.   I've upgraded this morning and hasn't made any difference.  I've fed this back to Meraki so will see what they come back with. If the reply is useful, I'll post it on this thread. ... View more

The maximum Target power for the MR36 is 12.  If you go to the Target power for the MR33 it's up to 16 (when you try to set manually).   I have logged a support ticket and this is being investigated.  I have been asked to try Beta firmware (27.4) to see if the power can then be increased and they are also going to be speaking with the developer's team.   From what I understand the MR36 should be able to have the same maximum transmit power as the MR33.   "I am going to reach the developer's team about this for any suggestions. For the time being, it would be interesting to check if it is something Firmware related, for that you can temporarily install Firmware 27.4, which is at the moment in Beta, but it is very stable and solid from my experience; we can always roll back to the previous firmware if desired, it also contains new features that you may be interested in too. It will be helpful to know if it is capable to setting the transmit power to 16 in the new firmware or not. I will let you know with anything that the developer's team reaches me with. Let me know the outcome of the firmware upgrade. I am going to reach the developer's team about this for any suggestions."       ... View more

I agree, that would be the solution I would go for. Using Meraki DHCP (NAT mode) sounds like the ideal setup for this scenario. Would the clients need to access resources on the LAN (such as printers etc)?  That could be the only stumbling block.   Additionally you could use individual usernames and passwords (using a splash screen for example) to get more control/visibility but this would be an additional admin overheard.    ...

@cmr 15.x (15.29) as I type this is still in Beta.  The stable release is 14.40 and the stable release candidate is 14.50.   I wouldn't be using Beta releases in a live environment.  My question is when 15.x firmware will be released as the stable release? ... View more
