the data sheet for the MA-INJ4 says "Gigabit compatible" where in the link you sent does it say the MA-INJ-4 is 2.5G compatible...

CharlieCrackle · ‎05-07-2023

Is the MA-INJ-4 compatible with the MG51 ?? in particular, does it pass through the 2.5G ethernet or limit it to 1Gig ??

If I have a CW-9166i in Cisco Persona, is the ONLY way to change to Meraki to join a controller that has DNAC working so you can do the Change persona and generate the Meraki Serial ? Is there a way that does not require controller and DNAC ?

Found the EGG The Start Date is the Date the licence starts and the Claim-Date is the date the licence was claimed in the Dashboard Co term all licences expire at the same time Per devices each device can have it own expire date

Is meraki going to support the environmental Sensors ?? Ambient temperature sensor Air quality sensor (Total Volatile Organic Compound [TVOC]) Relative humidity sensor It may look like a Meraki Sensor ? Also, do these Catalyst AP support Bluetooth connections to Meraki sensors ?? Any news when we can turn on the 6Ghz support in AUSTRALIA?

CharlieCrackle · ‎04-03-2023

Yes I get it now, it was not clear in my head it is the client end. I was thinking meraki could list clients that were presenting old protocols. I was amazed today how many emails I got from clients today regarding this. Most customers have no clue what their devices support. Kudos to Meraki for having a down day to highlight the issue to customers that have no inventory or IT support any more due to cut backs.

I have had a few customers reach out to me about the Merkai Email Sent to them. =================================================== Hello valued Meraki customer, Meraki will be discontinuing support for versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol used by wireless devices to communicate with Meraki Authentication. In order to facilitate the provisioning of enhanced security features, we will be requiring all customers to upgrade, at a minimum, to TLS version 1.2. This change will only affect wireless devices using TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 when connecting to the Meraki Authentication server. Timing: Due to security requirements, we do not have the ability to determine which of your devices, if any, are currently using the prior versions of the TLS protocol. In an effort to help you identify these devices, we will be temporarily disabling support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 as a test. This action will cause a planned disruption of device connectivity, which will begin at 12:00 am PST on April 19, 2023 and end at 12:00 am PST on April 20, 2023. Any devices that experience an issue with connectivity during the test period may be using the prior versions of the TLS protocol. Final retirement of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 will take place on May 17, 2023. Required action: Please plan for the 24-hour test period accordingly. If any of your devices experience an issue with connectivity during the planned test period outlined above, you may be required to upgrade to TLS 1.2 or a later version. To help you determine where potentially-affected devices may be located, a list of your organizations with Meraki Authentication enabled =================================================== Why can Merkai not flag the clients using the OLD TLS protocols ??? Would make it much easier to know the issues before 19April. A hospital cannot have wifi devices down for a day for testing.

No I only know they boot with 1.1.1.1 address no one has explained the reason. I just upgrade 1 switch at a time now

Not sure how long it has been there (this might be my first sticky client) Loving this notification! Bought a Sensibo to control the aircon in a computer room. keep getting this notification. Looks like the device is made for users with ONLY 1 AP. It connects to the lowest channel NOT the strongest signal. it will not connect the AP in the room . instead connects to one down hall talked to Sensibo and it connects to the first ap it finds

CharlieCrackle · ‎01-26-2023

Thankyou to whoever was listening I got a new EMail and this time it lists all the organisations that are affected Much more helpful. I missed 1 too !!

I have 2 x SSID one 2.4Ghz and one on 5Ghz Which is good best practice. trouble is the algorithm just looks at the number of SSID per AP not number of SSID per Band. Admittedly this will change with 6Ghz having a 6Ghz only SSID is not good practice due to the number of channels and you need 5 Ghz to give the neighbor reports to know what 6Ghz channels to scan.

CharlieCrackle · ‎01-17-2023

I am getting this banner keen to reduce latency by 40%. !!!!! Click the diagnostics... Get this How do I reduce Latency by 40% ???? I have WiFi 6 separate SSID for 2.4Ghz an 5Ghz (best practice for now maybe not for 6Ghz). The "Broadcasting SSID Per AP" is miss leading when you have separate SSID per band. I am MUCH BETTER than the industry average but it shows me that I am below 😥 This is what is should look like I still want to know how the AI thinks I can reduce latency by 40% or is this just clickbait to run the diagnostics that may or may not find anything ???

CharlieCrackle · ‎01-11-2023

I opened a support case to at least get all the organisation names affected by this. I was told "Currently, we cannot provide the list of affected networks to the customers." Find this hard to believe when Meraki sent out emails to contacts "Currently Using"

CharlieCrackle · ‎01-09-2023

I received this email today. You are receiving this email because you are currently using Meraki Cloud Authentication. Due to an approaching certificate expiration, Meraki will be rotating the RADIUS certificate for Meraki Cloud Authentication on February 8, 2023. Could Meraki please include in emails like this the "Network" names that are affected? When you look after many customers, I have no clue which ones are affected without checking them all. It is obvious you know the name of the network as you know we are currently using the feature. Also, the FAQ in the attached link should also tell you how to identify the affected networks (BY name) for people that look after a huge number of networks. Q: How can an affected network be identified? A: Any services relying on Meraki Cloud Authentication via certificates will be affected. This includes Sentry Wi-Fi, Trusted Access Wi-Fi, and any manual authentication relying on Meraki Cloud Authentication via certificates.

Elon Thank you. ====================================== To bypass the router, go to the App home page > Settings > Advanced Starlink App version must be at least 2.0.19 to work The toggle button on to bypass the Starlink router This allows you to completely disable the Starlink Wifi Router. You would need to utilize a Starlink ethernet adapter in order to plug in your own equipment. While Bypass mode is enabled, router commands will not work. If the toggle switch does not appear in the Settings tab, can factory reset the router and/or delete and re-download the app. App Message in red text when Bypass is enabled: "Bypass Mode will completely disable the built-in Starlink Wifi router. this is an advanced feature that requires a Starlink Ethernet adapter and your own network equipment. A manual Factory reset will be required to reverse this."

Customers using Starlink can run into issues using Meraki SDWAN if they use 192.168.1.0/24 The Starlink router uses 192.168.1.0/24 for the local LAN subnet. If your office uses 192.168.1.0/24 as well then this will cause issues for SDWAN and VPN Traffic Prior to version 15.44 you could have the WAN subnet the same as a subnet on the SDWAN the route on the SDWAN took preference. after 15.44 the traffic would go out of the WAN port and get lost. This issue was fixed again in 18.0.2 but requires Meraki support to do a back-end fix. The best solution would be to change the WAN subnet to a different range but this has been impossible. I recently had a Starlink at my office and with the help of support, there is a solution now. Starlink allows you to bypass the modem but you must have the ethernet adaptor ====================================================== To bypass the router, go to the App home page > Settings > Advanced Starlink App version must be at least 2.0.19 to work The toggle button on to bypass the Starlink router This allows you to completely disable the Starlink Wifi Router.

MY voice MOS scores change changed from 4.4 to 4.2 when using Starkink and Packet loss was about 1% Starlink MOS score

CharlieCrackle · ‎11-22-2022

This not been my experience and I have to roll back I would love to change the spoke but Star-link can only be configured to 192.168.1.0/24 and it cannot be changed. Elon if you are reading can you please allow users of star-link to change the LAN addressing and turn off the WiFi it would allow much better playing with meraki. In Australia we have a lot of remote farms on star-link using Meraki

I current have a bug in meraki firmware in any version after 15.44 Case 08418471 Been told there are 100 other cases linked to this bug. Support have locked the Firmware to 15.44 (and the dash board shows locked) The issue is meraki keep trying to automatically upgrade and take the network down Support tell me that even though the dashboard show new version it is still locked. but I do not believable them as the network dies when the upgrade happens and works again when you roll back the upgrade. Why when the firmware is locked does the automatic firmware update keep trying to upgrade ? Better still fix the bug !

CharlieCrackle · ‎09-07-2022

Yes I have just seen this across many clients. when I look up hash on virus total it says item not found. Support must be getting smashed as they are not answering.... Update: Got through to support and they are investigating but that this point they think a false positive. They are going to update the banner in security center once they know

CharlieCrackle · ‎08-16-2022

Loved the Christmas Tree made from meraki gear !

CharlieCrackle · ‎07-30-2022

The issue was at Microsoft End. Needed to open a support case and get them to trace the calls.

CharlieCrackle · ‎07-29-2022

My understanding was the prices were adjusted so that when you bought both the price was still the same as it was originally. So there should not be additional expense. I haven’t bought one lately so I can’t verify that is true. Prices going up everywhere you may not notice !

CharlieCrackle · ‎07-18-2022

Thank you for the clarification. White is much nicer color. I have some under some air conditioners and the green looks terrible against the white wall. Another Question when I am at a customer site how can I tell if they have been replaced by looking at them, if they are both white now ?? is there some other tell tale sign ??

CharlieCrackle · ‎07-16-2022

Can you buy JUST the magnet part for the Door sensor. Customer has broken the magnet side of the sensor and needs a new one Charles

CharlieCrackle · ‎07-16-2022

Can some one please conform that has just bought a new Leak Sensor cable that they received the MA-CBL-LEAK-1 and not the MA-CBL-LEAK-1A ?? and was it White or Green ???
