@MedarV with Meraki a beta is often just an early release of a stable firmware.  Take the MX 16.14 release that moved from beta to stable release candidate and may well move to stable.   We run 28.5 on over 120 APs around our venues and have found it more stable than the 27.x releases.   ...

CSR4 is a multimode connector and no, 400m max.   Cisco QSFP-40G-CSR4 Cisco 40GBASE-CSR4 QSFP Modules extend the reach of the IEEE 40GBASE-SR4 interface to 300 and 400 meters on laser-optimized OM3, and OM4/OM5 multimode parallel fiber, respectively. Each 10-gigabit lane of this module is compliant to IEEE 10GBASE-SR specifications. This module can be used for native 40G optical links over 12-fiber parallel cables with MPO/MTP female connectors or in a 4x10G breakout mode with parallel to duplex fiber breakout cables for connectivity to four 10GBASE-SR interfaces. Cisco QSFP-40G-CSR4 is optimized to guarantee interoperability over the complete specification range of 10GBASE-SR.   You need the LR4   Cisco QSFP-40G-LR4 The Cisco 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP module supports link lengths of up to 10 kilometers over a standard pair of G.652 single-mode fiber with duplex LC connectors. The 40 Gigabit Ethernet signal is carried over four wavelengths. Multiplexing and demultiplexing of the four wavelengths are managed within the device. ... View more

@MedarV what Realtek chipset is it?  On the realtek website the 2023 version seems the latest for most NICs and is from 2017.    As the NICs are WiFi5 standard you can disable the WiFi6 features on the APs from the dashboard, that is pretty much the only thing you can do from the Meraki side for this issue.  It is a simple change so might be worth it even if it is done temporarily while making other changes to the devices.   From the client side with the 2024 driver try disabling all power saving options as that worked for older Intel drivers on their WiFi5 NICs, there was a bug in the way the older software worked. ...

@HeyCori I think you'll be okay as the flow would be like this:   Packet destined for 10.0.0.0/16 network - as there is a VLAN interface on 10.0.255.254, it will head for this Packet destined for 10.30.0.0/16 network - as there is a VLAN interface on 10.30.0.1, it will head for this Packet destined for anything else on the 10.0.0.0/8 network (i.e. 10.1.2.3) - it will follow the static route   If you have a lot of cases where 3. would apply then I'd leave as is, if not many, then I would have more specific static routes that did not overlap with the subnets used in the local VLANs.  i.e. if the only other 10.x network was 10.1.0.0/16 then I'd change the existing static route for 10.0.0.0/8 to that. ... View more

@HeyCori you might want to change it, you shouldn't really have static routes overlapping with VLAN subnets, as although it should route correctly, it is very confusing to look at!  Though if you have a lot of other 10.x networks that the static route is pointing towards, then this might be the tidiest option... ...

@Eddie01 remember that the MS390s can share power so one power supply can power multiple switches (as long as there is hardly any PoE load).  We have Cisco 3850 stacks where we don't have Meraki and for a stack of 4 switches we'd have 5 power supplies in total and never needed more. ... View more

@IanH you should generally go with the best cable that you can reasonably afford to make the connection less susceptible to corrosion and oxidation.   We always use shielded cable and have used CAT6a for the last 5 years, CAT 6 since in the mid 2000's and CAT 5e before that.  We used type 1 before so I've never seen a CAT 4 or 5 cable being used for data in the last 25 years...   The higher powered APs do sometimes clock down even with shielded CAT6 cables if they are over 10 years old so I'd always over specify where you can. ...
