Re: Firmware Update Issues

Any updates on this issue? I have been having this problem on my ms-220s and sure enough tried to update to 10.40 tonight and 1 of the 220s hung. It is not easy for me to get to this switch and rebooting the switch never seems to help.   this issue has been going for over a year and still happening? Has anyone found a way to fix this remotely? ... View more

Re: MR52 very high 2.4 GHz utilization - how to fix?

@PhilipDAth Thanks, I suspect then that with 8 devices, the system could not find 3 channels that worked for all 8. I have now turned on 6 of the 8 APs and left 2 of them off. I had to force 1 AP to go to channel 6 to get the separation I wanted (no circles on the same channel overlapping) and then I set it back to auto and clicked on update auto channels and it keeps wanting to put that AP on 11 which causes the overlap of circles with another AP on 11 very near by. So for now I forced that 1 AP to channel 6 and it seems to be working, no overlapping and no high utilization.    ... View more

@PhilipDAth Thanks, I actually did have auto power reduction on, see my earlier post screens, but despite that being on for over a month they continued to clobber each other. For kicks I set all power to 7dBm which shrunk the circle a lot, but this actually made things worse, on two APs I was getting 97% utilization and jammed in the utilization column. Must be that 2.4 Ghz despite the power that is too close, even on a different channel 6 vs 1 vs 11 will still cause issues. Since 2.4 spreads so wide having 1 per building seems to cover the same distance but without clobbering the neighbor AP.  ... View more

I believe I have solved this. I turned off 2.4 Ghz on every other AP, so that 2.4 Ghz was only on in 1 AP per building. So my my Map looks like this   And my RF reports looks like this ... View more

How do I see how many clients are connected on 2.4 Ghz vs 5 Ghz across all of my APs? ... View more

If I am reading this right, it seems the interference is coming from  de:55:3d:c0:8e:6e   Which is an open AP on 802.11g, but when I scan through the last 30 days of MACs that MAC is not found. I assume it is a nearby AP?   That MAC is running on channel 6, but my AP is on 11, but it is at the top of the interfering APs ... View more

Not many clients (only 7).  No complaints (yet) I do have bandwidth steering on   Thanks for the tip...the only thing I can think of that might be interfering is we have 2 wifi speakers (Wren V5AP) in that building. I am looking into this as a possible cause.   Dennis  ... View more

We have 8 MR52's at the school and all have low or very low utilization except for 1 which is at 72% very high utilization on 2.4Ghz. How do I fix this? All of my APs are set to auto channel.   ... View more

The chart in Organization > Summary Report seems to be my best option. It does show Download vs Upload and over time as well. Just wished you could make it larger and could adjust the scale (one spike can mess the scale up). Also wished it included Upload instead of Total or had a toggle for Upload, Download and Total.    ... View more

@WadeAlsup Thanks! I had stumbled across this while looking around and was about to post that this was the closest I had found to showing what I was looking for. It is unfortunate that this is only live data.    When the dashboard shows WAN in blue (does this in many areas) is that a total of both upload and download traffic across the WAN or is it upload only? ...

We are looking to switch our ISP for the school and I am trying to find where I can find details on our internet usage for both upload and download? Currently the school is on 150mbit for Fiber for both upload and download...but the replacement solution is more expensive and I only want to pay for what we actually need. I am having a hard time trying to figure this out in the Meraki dashboard. We have an MX-84 for our security appliance.    Any tips on what data I should be looking at to help determine this would be appreciated.    Dennis ... View more
