Agreed!  Telling us that the solution is to "simply" disable mDNS on each and every client is not a solution, it's just a way for them to avoid dealing with this.   At this point, I'm not asking for much.  To resolve this issue, all I'm hoping for is for Meraki to give us the ability to prioritize what is populated in the client name field.  This way, we can bump the mDNS name down the list and allow one of the other methods to appear.     In other words, I'm not expecting Meraki to re-engineer everything so that the mDNS name is ignored, just let us choose which name we would like to utilize!  That can't be too difficult to implement, can it? ...

I find it hard to believe that only a "handful" of users are experiencing this problem when there doesn't seem to be anything specific on our end that is causing it.  Why isn't everyone seeing this behavior?  Does everyone override the client name by manually entering one?  I doubt it...   It is quite frustrating that this problem hasn't been fixed by now and that Meraki doesn't seem to really care about things that negatively affect their customers and/or the functionality of their products!   Come on Meraki, please focus some resources on this issue and address it beyond just claiming that there's nothing to see here!! ...

We've been seeing this problem recently too (after never seeing it for years.)  I'm not expert but I'm thinking that since this problem began to affect people without Meraki's firmware changing, I think the common culprit might be something like the Chrome (and/or Safari) browser.   I believe the Chromecast uses mDNS/Bonjour so is it possible that when a user launches Chrome, the browser uses mDNS to search for any available Chromecast devices (to display on the cast tab) and Meraki is picking up the mDNS name linking it to the PC for the dashboard description?  Obviously, if this theory is correct, we all started seeing the problem after Google updated Chrome to some specific version...   Right or wrong, I agree that Meraki should allow us some control over the prioritization of protocols so we can have it ignore the mDNS transmissions and keep our dashboard clean and manageable! ...
