You've got a point there, in the recesses of my mind I remember seeing MacOS and iOS devices not being anywhere near as bad, but at the time our fleet of Dell Latitude 7300/7310/7320/7330 where a mess remaining stable   I've switched it (client balancing) back on for 3x MR57 test devices, as I would like to have it on.  Now running devices 7320/30/40/50 in our environment, will report back this week (sooner rather than later if it is instantly a mess again!)   ...

I don't think there is any push from meraki to use the IoT sensors in the 9166 as they already have their own IoT sensors available. You will never need more than 1 Gbps over the Ethernet connection unless you're planning on running 160/320 MHz wide channels (which you never will in an enterprise environment).  ... View more

Agree with @TBHPTL, using non-DFS channels if possible will remove the chance of weird behaviour with CAC windows and backoffs ... View more

Wouldn't have affected my deployments at least as we're exclusively Wi-Fi 6/6E. I note there is a new known issue introduced with 29.6.1 "In high capacity wireless networks APs may experience instability when the “Client Balancing” or "Band Steering" feature are enabled".   That one would impact us.. think we might 'steer' clear for now. Also, do this mean that the previous bug fixes from the v29.6 release that was pulled are included in this? ... View more

Hi folks. This issue is especially seen in Apple devices. I can tell you that in the past I have fixed this symptom by upgrading the firmware in the endpoint devices.    Hope this helps.   -J. Maxwell, CCNP Enterprise ... View more

To answer each of your points:   - The space itself is like a small warehouse but will be used to test moving devices (i.e., robots) that require high-speed connectivity.    - I've looked at this document for site surveys. That said, I don't have any site survey experience or any tools/software for it. Do you recommend following the steps in there to conduct a basic site survey? Note: Our site is in the middle of nowhere - not sure if that factors in at all.   - Yeah the RX-SOP warnings are scary enough. Won't be touching that in that case 🙂   - I'll test it out at 160 MHz and see how much I can push through that compared to the default of Auto.   - Yes I have an MR70 providing 2.4 and 5 GHz coverage that's about 30 feet away. I've also disabled the 2.4 and 5 GHz radios on the CW9166 as I want it to only provide 6 GHz coverage.   I'm curious if you have any recommendations for conducting a site survey (for newbies) outside of that document that I linked above. Really appreciate your help here! ... View more

Do the same check with LLDP enabled on the switch if you are not already using it. We had PoE isues with the CW9164s when running CDP only, all sorted once LLDP was enabled and AP restarted and power re-negotiated via LLDP ... View more

Hey, problem was that the Client Balancing behavior changed with MR29.1 Version. https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/Other_Topics/Client_Balancing#Client_Balancing_Behavior_-_MR_29.X_and_Newer_Firmware   For some reason the client flapped between two AccessPoints and because of that the client did send a lot of DHCP Requests, Discovers and DHCP Decline messages... I turned off Client Balancing and it seems to be OK.   ... View more

Well thank you both for the reply. The question was fairly straightforward asking for the default setting. And the answer was also straightforward. The underlaying reason of my question is of course more complex. The issue i'm seeing in one of the many office locations is that even with the minimum power set to 5 - the Meraki Access Points still hear each-other very 'loud' (-54 to -62dBm) on the same channel. And all most all of them dropped transmit power to 5. Even with the Radio Channel set to Auto, I get up to 5 Meraki AP's on the same channel.  They keep changing channels - over and over again, but only choose the lower range UNII-1 channel range. They do not use the other channel ranges although they are available.   For now, only one office location is showing this, and we have a felling this started after MR 28.7 - September 10th. Anyhow, I have a ticket open with Meraki support on this issue. I will follow up when I have some news.   Thanks JohnDH ... View more

Thanks for posting all this, really helpful and interesting bug.  Don't get me started on the transparency of these things from support!  I also live in fear of the next release, so far 29.2 in an office of about a dozen MR56 APs is working ok.  Only 2 weeks in though so often these things take time to rumble to the surface.  I'll post here with anything I find though. ...
