Disabled on all ports.   The thing that is so weird is how the clients can ping the gateway and get response.   But the there is no response when the gateway initiates the ping.    Another oddity is the ARP table for the switch in the dashboard sees both clients... ... View more

This is the interesting part..    Both devices have the gateway in the ARP table. But not each other.   Both devices can ping and get response when pinging the gateway.   From the dashboard the interface IP can not ping the clients.   Packet capture shows the devices just not responding to pings.   To rule out any windows firewall or issues like that, I put the devices on my other VLAN and have no issues pinging between.  ...

Thanks for the response Nolan,   We have an AP per classroom. One thought was to increase to 40MHz with DFS channels on 5GHz frequency.    The reason for this was by increasing from 20 to 40 the range of the signal would be shortened slightly and allow for less bleed over...   We are slowly trying to get away from 2.4MHz frequency because it is currently so saturated.    Any thoughts?    Thanks in advance! ...

In our district currently, we are running MR32 in every classroom at Elementary's. This is because we are basically a 1:1 district for student devices. We have never had any issues we could not solve. Typically average 15-28 clients in a Elementary Class.   We run MR52/MR53 for Middle school and High School and have them aggregated to increase throughput.    Would recommend MR33 for Elementary classrooms as well though!   Hope this helps!   ...

The site survey piece is definitely something we have been thinking of doing.    Just getting some more visibility into the classrooms would be huge for exactly what you are talking about.    Currently we have our Meraki AP's set to auto on most everything. Obviously RX-SOP from what I understand being one of those changes that you would only want to do with good visibility in your wireless network. Hints the site survey piece.    Then quick follow up question. Are you under the opinion as well that if per client bandwidth is currently being capped at 25 mbps, that the "performance" difference will be minimal?  That is one key aspect that I am trying to read up on. Does that limited speed make so the possibilities of what 40MHz can perform does not matter? Is the main "performance" difference between the two just speed?  ... View more

If you do not mind me asking. How are you calculating those numbers. Is that kind of just common knowledge?  That 20MHz vs 40MHz has half the speed? or??   Also, just to clarify on what you stated earlier, if we are capping speeds per client @ 25mbps on a 20MHz channel width, there is the possibility that speeds could dip under that cap because of traffic. (a lot of traffic?)   Whereas 40MHz would have a less likely-hood of dropping under 25mbps because of the faster speeds it is capable of?    Not to be repetitive, but I am learning, and for the most part just want to fully understand why 40MHz would be better than 20MHz in a throttled environment.     Thanks by the way Ruben, I appreciate the time you are taking to respond.  ...

Just for clarification,    When you say: "You will see a performance increase if you have 30 clients in a classroom and they are all utilizing the wifi to download a large file at the same time."   What are you meaning by that? The throughput is better? The 40MHz channel width can handle more data at once? comparatively to 20MHz?   For example if you get 30 chromebooks all turning on at once and all connecting to the AP and browsing it, the 40MHz could handle that better than 20MHz?   ...

So the main devices connecting are actually all owned by us.    Those being Teachers Windows devices and HP Chromebooks. (Then obviously guest users on guest WiFi)   As far as our RF environment. We are pretty segregated from most neighbors and only pushing out 3 SSID's per AP.   So you are on the side there will be performance increase on 40MHz. But in what way?   The reason I am curios is we are capping devices at 25mbps.    What are these "performance" increases if its already being capped? Are there other performance features besides from just bandwidth speed that 40MHz is improving?     Thanks!   ... View more
