Hmm thanks. I wonder if the ISP would want or be able to do something about that when I provide them with some of these details. I had insight a while ago running as a trial but never had the time to set it up properly and dig into it. I'll check with our rep. and maybe give it another shot to get some more info. Thanks for you help and ... insight! lol

But how would you explain that it doesn't have this with Google? A rule to priorities traffic to Google's DNS? Would I need to have some packet generator + packet capture to actually see what's going on? Or is there a way via Meraki dashboard to find what's happening? thanks for your insight.

Hi, I recently added Cloudflare address to test the connectivity of some networks. We have this one network where users say they occasionally are without internet, I figured probably the provider. Looking at the ping history of this network with 8.8.8.8 as destination it all seems well within normal numbers. Looking at the 1.1.1.1 destination however I see huge spikes/waves of around 20% loss between 08:00h and 00:00h. Since the google ping history seems fine I can't blame the intermittent drops on the provider. Anyone that has seen this before? Or should I try with a different destination address and see what that gives?

Currently running it in Beta: MG 1.10, I was hoping it would solve it but it didn't.

Hi, Yes, they first told me to check with the carrier, which I did. (no blocks) Then next step was call them when an issue is ongoing. The problem is that this is in another country, and also that the Network cabinet is not easy reachable, it's put 3m off the ground. Power cycling the MG re-establishes the connection. But again, not easy reachable so they just powercycle all devices that are on the main switch to the patchcabinet (modem, MX, switch,...) so not the best solution. Just not really what we expected and want from a crazy expensive 'backup system'. Our 60 euro Huawei dongles work better than this 600 euro + license MG.

We are using an MG21e and MX67 in a combined network. Lan2 port on the MX is configured as a secondary WAN (Standby) and goes to a POE injector first before going into port 1 of the MG. Over the last 3 months we've had the MG go offline 14 times and counting. (only started counting after we setup webhooks) Meraki support told me that it might be some blocked ports, but after checking with the provider they confirmed that there are no blocks or restrictions of any kind. When it's connected to the network it also seems to have a pretty good connection 66,3Mbps. The really weird thing is that the connection loss seems to happen right around the same time. Same for it coming back online, happens around same time of day. Anybody has any idea or other steps to take? Meraki support told me to call when I'm on site but problem is that this is in a retail location in some distant country that I not need to visit very often.

Hi, I started a case with Cisco Meraki about this disappearance. I asked them if this feature was omitted with a firmware. The support agent told me: "No, not that I can tell. The feature is completely stripped away" Cisco, Never fails to amaz... disappoint you!

Hi, I'm currently trying to replace our traditional 'above the door' counters with the MV12 or MV32. I'm trying to setup the API calls to populate our dataserver with the count. I just want to receive the door count but I only see the MV sense API calls, so does one need the MV sense license just to be able to get this simple statistic or is there another API call I can make to get this data? Thanks already! cheers

Hi, Current version of the Z3: MX 15.36 Very disappointing. We were thinking of using the MG as a backup on port 2 on +60 sites, guess that won't be happening anytime soon. Our Z3's finally stopped randomly breaking down, now this...

Hi, I am trying to accomplish this right now with a Z3. However on the local status page I can't seem to find the option anymore. We're trying to expand our Z3's with an MG as well on a second WAN port. I vaguely remember that I was able to toggle this a couple of months ago on a Z3 but when I tried to do it today, pooof gone. Did they suddenly decide that this option was too good for their Z3's? Forcing to go with an MX68 or something alike? They also made a note in their documentation of the Z3, explicitly stating that no second port can be toggled for a WAN port. Which also suggests that is was something that used to be possible. Cheers.

Hi, is there still no solution to this? we use meraki authentication for VPN access and there still seems no pre-applied policy available. in the client list however the already connected clients are visible. Like you suggested I applied a policy to that user once logged in. but the grouppolicy is not overriding the layer 3 policies on the client vpn page. Did this ever work on your network? cheers

Hi, I was indeed, I did not see this. I do stand corrected, thanks for the info. little bit weird that Cisco support has me update to beta software first instead of checking this.

Hi Slate, This is a little older post but I was having this exact same issue when connecting a WAN 2. after talking with Meraki support they had me upgrade to the latest beta software but that still didn't help. It turned out that it was the module. In our WAN 1 we were using an RJ45 to sfp MA-SFP-1GB-TX that was working but in out WAN 2 we were using an GLC-T module which had same behaviour as you are describing. Cisco should definitely have some documentation on which ones you can and cannot use. huge waste of time.
