Indeed, the 18.x firmwares in particular have had this problem. The 19.x firmwares had apparently fixed it, but I see that in the 9th December update it is back... 🤦🏻♂️

Thank you @SeanW I'm glad to see that you are getting a lot from the community. I found it very helpful when I first started using Meraki network equipment and am honoured to be called out for now being one of the helpers. @AmyReyes +1 for dark mode here, perhaps the gnomes have been preparing it as a Christmas present to us all! 🤞

I have done this where either an event is in just part of a building, or you want to retrict public access to reception areas etc. Simply assign a tag to those APs and set the SSID to only be enabled on APs with tag X.

If you have a router or firewall (Meraki MX) or layer 3 switch (MS210 or better), you can set up two VLANs and have one subnet in each. The MS or MX can then send the traffic from one to another. Do you have either of these?

Yes you can set up a new network withing the same organisation and use all of the same IP addresses. Just don't create an auto VPN between the two networks, or you'll need an awful lot of NATing.

The only things you can do is put the MG where you get the best signal, or try a different cell provider as there won't be an even spread of users. I'm in the UK, at my old house Vodafone or O2 were the best, whereas in my current house Three provides a much faster and more stable connection.

@xaviervalette are you in an area with quite a few other people within 1km or so? It is completely normal that the signal will degrade as more people use the cell tower (generally in the day time). If not, then I would expect a more constant signal.

@imome9a do you not have any evidence of buying the camera in the first place, even the email from Meraki that you can use to claim it would do? They can then reset it back to you.

I don't believe you can have a sub org, you can have multiple orgs and use the MSP dashboard to switch between them, or am I missing something?

It looks like you are using WPA3 (as you need to for the 6GHz band to work), I have found that to be substantially less stable than WPA2 on the same AP and same endpoint. Also remember that 6GHz signals travel about 10-20% less far than 5GHz.

@aaaomt it doesn't work on a cat. But seriously, what device type are you trying to install it on and what OS version is that device running? Do you get an error message?

In the past I've swapped out PCs for Chromebooks and thin client terminals. A more modern trend could be to use SharePoint365 instead of on premises file servers along with lots of SaaS. However that's just moving the problem elsewhere... I have also swapped Intel Xeon servers for AMD Epyc as they used a lot less power along with replacing hybrid SANs with Pure flash arrays. On the Meraki side moving stacks from dual PSU MS models to C9300s with power stacking and therefore fewer PSUs could help.

You will find a number of sites stating that CAT6 is good enough for 2.5 and 5 GbE, but my experience when using PoE APs is that anything less than CAT6a isn't reliable above 1GbE. Endpoint devices can run higher speeds over CAT6, generally reliably.

CAT6 is only rated for 1GbE. Only CAT6a is rated for faster speeds. Faster speeds may work on CAT6, but the longer the cable, the less reliable it will be.

What spanning tree mode are the Arubas set to? Meraki switches only support a single instance of spanning tree. What priority are they set to? The core should be the smallest number (say 4096), the distribution bigger (16384, 20480 etc.) and the edge the biggest (40960+). If they are all left at the default 32768 then you will get regular stp elections.
