No idea, if I go to the Stage 2 Pre-Sale I directly get redirected to "no Access" and seconds later to "Need Access?" which I have never seen. I would assume that they are changing things at the moment. I would try to contact the Blackbelt team (question mark in the top right corner) and ask them. ... View more

When did you finish it? In the past, it was available for download on the learning.meraki.net page, where you completed the CMNA. On the right side was a link to download the certificate. But when I go there now, it says this course expired on the 3rd of December 2025.  ... View more

If your WLAN design allows it, I would try to go for 40 MHz channels on 5 GHz. With similar power your clients could all end up on 6 GHz and 5GHz would be underutilized. ... View more

MLO doesn't need three bands. And most clients only use two bands for MLO. If I remember right, the Qualcomm client chip can do three bands, but most mobile devices don't. For the CW9171: Is that device already shipping? I would expect that it will be supported natively in Meraki when available. ... View more

The 9171I is a 2 radio, 3 band, 2x2 AP. But the list price is only $250 under the 9172I. I am not sure if that is a good deal. ... View more

You already got great answers how it is defined and how it is supposed to work. Beside that, I know of environments where they run cables of about 130-140 meters and it works (but these were cables of very good quality and one connector in between). And this was a "let's test and hope for the best before we spend much more money" approach that could have failed. So, based on your needed length, you could just try it. But for length beyond that, I would not try it and directly go for the installer to get new fiber links. ... View more

Hmm, I was referring to this paragraph:   "4x4 uplink/downlink MU-MIMO with four spatial streams (5 GHz, and 6 GHz), 2x2 uplink/downlink MU-MIMO with two spatial streams (2.4 GHz) (or) 4x4 uplink/downlink MU-MIMO with four spatial streams (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)"   The FRA paragraph looks better. ...

The FRA kills 6GHz in favor of two more spacial streams on 2.4. I have exactly zero situations where I would need that. ... View more

Can you clarify what you mean with "cannot talk well ..."?   This setup is what I always use and prefer: Yes, I don't like a parallel wireless infrastructure in my home, also if it is only on 2.4 GHz. As already mentioned, no client Isolation and Firewall Rules allow access. With this setup, none of the speakers should have its own wired connection, when using the Sonos own WLAN network, only one speker should have a wired connection. ... View more

I was also waiting for the fulfillment of several MR36, but they were delivered recently, so I thought this problem was solved. ... View more

You are right, it is 2*2 on 5 and 6 GHz, but you could run it in 2*2 on 2.4 and 4*4 on 5 if you wish. With that, you wouldn't really lose anything compared to the MR34. I don't have any good info on the CW9174, but there are rumors that Cisco TAC is already getting training on this device. But that doesn't mean we can buy it anytime soon. ... View more

If your switches support PoE+ (at) power, you are likely all set for the low- to mid-range Wi-Fi 7 APs. Only with the High End models you need PoE++ (bt) power and MultiGig. For your replacement, I would not go for the 916x anymore. They are great APs, but the 917x are likely longer supported. The 9172 would be the cost-effective solution; the 9176 is expensive, but it's just a great AP. If you can wait a little bit, the 9174 might approach soon. This will likely be the best "general-use" AP. ... View more

It's not that easy with GCMP-256 ...   For IEEE 802.11be GCMP-256 support is mandatory ("An EHT RSNA STA shall support GCMP-256"). I don't find any hint in the standard that differentiates between SAE and 802.1X here. But GCMP-256 was in the standard before, and the usage is allowed. The WPA3 specification doesn't require it, but defines that it can be enabled for both WPA3-Personal and WPA3-Enterprise. And while the WFA disallows any other ciphers for WPA3-192, the standard would allow CCMP-256 for the same setting. And for the certificates for WPA3-192, 3072-bit RSA is enough. But I would go for EC certificates with 384 bits.   If GCMP-256 can not be enabled in a specific combination, it's likely the decision of the vendor to do it "this way". The Catalyst 9800 has the same "problem". ... View more

Oh, yes. If someone is used to terms like priority queueing, then it may not be very clear. I tried to explain that higher queues have a higher weight than lower queues. But I would still say that a queue that is served with a higher weight is still prioritized over the other queue.  ... View more

To my understanding, the traffic is now just spread among 5 queues instead of 4 as in the default. In default AF41 and EF end up in one queue with the highest relative priority, while the other model places AF21 and AF31 in the same queue and separates EF even further. Looks even better. ...
