Agree with comments about going for thw CW916x-MR APs although a CW9166 vs MR36 is very different spec-wise, a CW9162 is more aligned with that and a CW9164 aligns with the MR46.   The main thing for me is future proofing with the 6E capability, depending on your reg domain you might be able to enable that from day 1 and marvel at the speedtest results 😉 ...

1. Definitely check latest NIC drivers are installed 2. Has anything changed recently.. are the MR56's new? Are the laptops new? ... View more

No problem, certainly will be testing it! ... View more

Ooh interesting, I was expecting a reply saying all is working haha!   What type of issue & APs have you got if you don't mind me asking? ... View more

I noted on that last line that reason code 265 was given which links to " The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted. "   There has been commentary around Credential Guard (enabled by default in W11 Education & Enterprise) blocking machine auth methods, but I'm note sure if this blocks manual connections.   I had a look around and found this post on the MS community, different NPS code but notably a comment saying:   "The computers would not authenticate automatically, but when following the dialog boxes we could get them to authenticate by manually telling the computer to try...."   "Our Windows 10 computers worked without flaws. After reading this thread I decided to check my Group Policy and the only difference is that I was not specifying the servers they could authenticate to, so I was not having the problem with the case mismatch. I found the fix to be checking the box next to my domain CA in the Trusted Root Certification Authorites section below the box where you can specify which servers to connect to." Another external thread I found also talked about case mismatch:   "We had a GPO that pushed out the Cert to the clients and our NPS server was lowercase in that GPO and the server end is capitalized. It was never an issue with the Windows 10 machines but I guess Windows 11 has some additional security that capitalization matters. Was an easy fix but not an obvious one."   ... View more

Hey @RaphaelL just seeing if you rolled out 29.5 in the end, no problems? ... View more

Echo both @pjc and @Shawn_Kingston 's comments really. We are coming from a Cisco world and so waiting for new releases to be tested and reported on by early adopters is a built in mechanism for us.   That being said, even with a stable release that's been out for a while you never know what edge cases your own envrionment will uncover! We're lucky enough to have a standalone test environment to pilot our upgrades with.   If we didn't then we'd likely wait until the automated Meraki 'we're going to upgrade your MR firmware for you' email comes through and we then get somewhat nudged to then upgrade ...

This information is wildly inaccurate without context applied i.e. 802.11ax 'User will get 10 Gbps of maximum speed' is just straight up incorrect unless stated as 'theoretical' in nature only. ... View more

So escalate it to your account rep instead of getting snarky and mopey in here? You asked for suggestions and people are offering some, including an actual Meraki employee ... View more

How have you got security type set? WPA2/3 transition mode w/ 802.11w enabled or WPA3 only with 802.11w required? ... View more

Thanks for the confirmation! ... View more

@MerakiDavecan you confirm that the radio transmit values are just the value of the IR itself (the radio alone) and not the EIRP including the antenna gain?   So if I wanted to target a max. EIRP of 24dBm in the 5 GHz band on an MR46, I would set the slider to 18dBm as I have to take in to account the 6 dBi gain of the antenna? ... View more

Windows 11 22H2? I was reading about that the other day if so. Are you running the Enterprise version? ... View more

Out of curiosity what OS are the (two?) affected devices running, if Windows what release specifically as well e.g. W11 22H2. Any patching performed on the RADIUS server host?   Seems odd that it would just happen out of the blue if all those clients were previously working! ... View more

lol what? Who knows.. maybe the site is massive and so re-designing is going to take a long time,in the interim period they can swap out like-for-like with the channel design but have the Wi-Fi 6 functionality they didn't have with the MR53s ... View more

Wow, good catch! It sounds almost like that software is still in beta or something!? ... View more

I note 'AP may loose Cloud connectivity for an interval of time (Wi-Fi 6 APs)' as a Known Issue within the relase notes! If this is the 'random AP drop offs from Meraki Dashboard' issue many have reported I am also hoping for a fix for that in the not-too-distant future! ... View more

Very much an 'it depends' scenario. Yes best practice is to not use 2.4 or at least tune TxPower right down, especially with 6E coming in now, but there will be environments where it's a requirement due to single-band devices in use or they require the additional range where there's no alternative to have a closer AP within 5 GHz range. ...
