Thanks Dave. All good workarounds, but... where's the puke bucket? This type of info should be baseline reporting output for a wireless infrastructure product. A 24/7 warehouse doesn't like us finding out from previously productive pickers and packers who complain. 😉 Thanks again for your insights. -Gary

Thank you, I did miss the fact that it shows back to 2.4b or 2.4g, so that does help find the "legacy" clients. I'd also love to see the current Tx rates, so that I can figure out if I can back out the lowest data rates from say, 6 Mbps to 12 or 18. -Gary

Thank you for the reply and insight! No reflection on your response, but definitely on the Meraki product, is that SNR and RSSI are very different things and we need to know both to make certain determinations about how our clients are performing, and why. Yes, SNR is a better judgement of how well it's going to communicate, but not at all useful for determining its likely "RF distance" from two access points (and thus whether another AP is needed between)...you must remove the relative noise factor to get an absolute measurement. /Rant mode on... As for having to subtract 95 from what is apparently, then, a quasi-arbitrary number, I'm not sure why they don't present the signal in terms of, say, types of fruit. If I need to do math or cross-reference a table to find the information I need, they could just tell me the signal is "mango", and I can go look that up. Wasn't this stuff developed by a group from MIT? What this tells me is that the product is suited for only very small, very simple environments with no RF challenges, and I should just shut up and drink the wireless they give me. Yep, I could call, but what kind of business model encourages customers to occupy expensive (to Meraki) TAC time? I know, gotta keep the GUI simple for the cloud management customer base, but a few "advanced" tabs would do wonders. "I'm sorry, customer, but the product you purchased does not supply ample information for me to diagnose the problem." /Rant mode off.

Hello! I'd like to be able to find what speeds clients are operating at currently in a list format, so that I can hunt them down and make sure they are capable of faster speeds, then eliminate the lower rates from my SSID. Is there a way to do that? It would also be helpful in tracking down areas which need more AP coverage. Stunningly, I can't even see a place where current data rate is displayed in a single client drill-down! Thanks! Gary

Hello! I'd like to be able to quickly find/list clients operating as WPA1 and/or TKIP so I can hunt them down and eliminate the SSID setting to improve security and 802.11 operation. Is there a way? I cannot find this in any client listing (network-wide or per-AP). Thanks! Gary

I would like to be able to see client RSSIs in the commonly ascribed simple dBm value, ideally in a table, but I cannot find this in Dashboard. What I do find is a positive value, which is not possible. RSSI by industry convention should yield a value typically between -30 and - 90. In client event log, I see things like "channel: 1, rssi: 45", or in the per AP clients table, where 45 could potentially be SNR, but is unlikely, and either way is not RSSI. Where can I find true RSSI so I know whether I need to add an AP in a weak area, for example? I also would like to see a table which tells me which what the actual operating band or channel is for all clients. I can get this per AP, but that's a huge hassle to grab/export/filter. Am I missing where this basic, but requisite, level of information can be found? It's not in Network-wide clients (even with added columns). Thanks! Gary
