I know there are a few similar posts out here in the community but I didn't want to hijack another post that is looking for a specific solution when I'm looking for more of a discussion.    We recently deployed Meraki MR33 across multiple locations. We are running a "Guest" SSID that presents a splash page with some disclaimers and warnings about what you should and shouldn't do on the network that the user has to agree to before they are allowed to access the internet from that device.   We are using the click-through splash page settings configured in the Access Control section of the wireless dashboard. We have the issue that I feel like a lot of others are seeing with these settings configured and that is the fact that HTTP traffic has to be sent from the device to prompt the splash page. Doesn't seem to be an issue for iOS, Android, and Chrome devices that are connection to the SSID but windows devices are having issues. The sites most people think to try are redirected to HTTPS and therefore the splash page isn't being presented to them.   I see this isn't really a "problem" in the sense that really everything is working as it should. It's just a problem to learn the proper process of how to handle the situation.   I'm curious how many other people are dealing with a similar situation and how you are handling it? Do you have some kind of documentation out there to tell the users to pull a specific site that you know won't be redirected to HTTPS? What site(s) do you use? What browser are most of your users running? The Meraki documentation mentioned using bing.com but I dont' believe that works anymore. I have had success telling users to type in http://bbc.com as I've seen that mentioned in other places. It just doesn't stand out as my favorite solution to give to the users and I feel weird about typing up documentation for them that tells them to use that address.   Again in this post I'm not really asking a specific "problem" question with a direct answer. I was hoping to see more of a conversation and hear how other people are handling it in their environments are maybe how you would handle it if you were to run into dealing with that type of situation?   Thanks! ...

So I just opened a case with Meraki but thought I would post here as well. Here is what I sent in for the case...   We recently started having an issue at our corporate office when users move from one location to another they have network connectivity problems. We have a stack of MS250's for our access switches connected to a stack of Cisco Catalyst 3650 for our core switches that are acting as the default gateway for the access vlan. When a computer is connected to one port on the Meraki stack and then moves to another port on the Meraki stack the computer is no longer able to reach the default gateway (the Catalyst stack). The Meraki switch sees the computer with the proper mac address on the new switch port but when I do a packet capture the PC is repeatedly sending out an ARP request for the default gateway but never receives the response back to it. After a period of time (I haven't been able to figure out the precise time frame) the PC can connect to any switch port on the Meraki stack and work properly. So it seems like something is clearing out of a table somewhere in the Meraki stack that allows the connection to start working properly. I also can move from a port on the Meraki switch to a port on the catalyst in the access vlan and have no issues. The issue only seems to happen when moving between ports on the Meraki stack.   I feel bad opening a case when I don't feel 100% confident the issue is in the Meraki switches but my troubleshooting steps seem to point that the break down is in the MS250 stack.    Anyone else seen anything like this or have any troubleshooting advice you would take in a scenario like that?   One of those things that isn't THAT big of a deal but of course it would happen to the CEO when he is moving his laptop from his office to the board room... ...
