If you are using  Meraki 802.1x why not create user accounts within Dashboard and assign them only to the "contractor" zone./subnet on a dedicated egress and the you can apply the group policy on that interface by default. ... View more

What you are asking for is practically already there.  You can assign tags to whatever aps you want and then under the  Radio settings sort or list by that tag and bulk select the listed tagged APs for assignment to a specific profile.  whats the issue?   If you don't like how it is you can always ask them. log in scroll to the bottom of the dashboard in the lower right corner and click this button.     ...

Is the MX your DHCP and DNS server or is it something else?    How can the DNS be updated if you have statics? the DNS is handed out as option 6 of the DHCP accept... If it is the MX remove the proxy to upstream and designate the servers by IP here. if its not the MX set your MX to ignore DHCP traffic on the AP mgmt.  Also make sure that you aren't inadvertently blocking something with ACLs or group policies....   ...

To add to what alemabrahao has said , Pinging from where to where and if using ping tools from the dashboard, which screen and tool?...     Also you said your APs are in NAT mode, if it is NAT mode there is no way it can access the LAN. as the AP each run their own private 10.0.0.0/8 DHCP server  for NAT with each AP having its default gateway of 10.128.128.128 and performing DHCP and for each client WIRELESSLY on the AP . Is it possible you just think you are pinging clients from a wired connection and are actually pinging other destinations on your LAN because your net uses Class A RFC 1918 on the LAN. See these docs: https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Client_Addressing_and_Bridging/NAT_Mode_with_Meraki_DHCP   https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Client_Addressing_and_Bridging/SSID_Modes_for_Client_IP_Assignment#NAT_Mode     ...

Bridged Mode . This is the way...  When you are using MerakiDHCP/NAT mode EACH AP is its own  mini DHCP/PROXY island and EACH AP is doing its own thing,  its a security mechanism of sorts. but as you have discovered it has its limitations. It also cause issues with roaming and application that require smooth roaming like voice etc.     ... View more

A lot of older system admind and "neck beards" routinely and incorrectly used 1.1.1.1 for virtual IPs, older controllers load balancers server instances for redundancy etc.. Wasn't really an issue aside from being flat out against standards until Cloudflare started actually using the quad 1 for WARP DNS. here is an old Cisco WLC doc for reference     https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wireless-lan-wlan/213535-wlc-virtual-ip-address-1-1-1-1.html   ...

Actually that is not the same bracket that is included with the 9166i or the MR57. Both of those models ship with the only bracket that matters, the AIR-AP-Bracket-2 aka the Universal bracket. The AP Bracket 1 is a waste of sheet metal as it cannot be affixed to any electrical box of any type. If you are using a third party mount you will most likely just end of pitching the  AP bracket 1 into the trash where it belongs, as the lions share of these from Hubbell/Acceltex/VenTev etc dont use bracket 1's,  they use the standoff  "feet" keyholes   https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/MR_Overview_and_Specifications/CW9166_Datasheet   https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/wireless/flyers/APbracketsAndClips.pdf Old doc bu rock solid details   ...

Based on the limited information, I agree with others here... There is a VLAN missing somewhere in your configuration, likely trunks and/or port channels. Check your DHCP and VLAN segments starting from your core radiating outward. You will find where it starts and focus on one spoke at a time. Is there a new DHCP server is it trusted? is your subnet exhausted,  do any of your APs try to come up in Mesh Mode? If aps are coming up on the management VLAN then check your wifi client VLANs... etc... ... View more
