Is there a document showing how many users an AP can support at maximum? They only put the ideal or optimal number of users that it should support. I have the MR33, MR36, MR44, MR52, MR56, MR86 models on our network. ... View more

FWIW I'm noticing 29.1's proactive steering being more than just at association can cause a lot of client bouncing between APs if the AP steering is incorrect.   I have a space in my home where the AP strongly believes it's appropriate to steer to an upstairs AP, but the client sees that as -87dBm RSSI instead of -60 to the closest AP which happens to be more loaded. That takes throughput down from 400mbps to 90mbps and the client desperately wants to roam back to the primary AP. On 29.1 this is resulting in every 2-3 minutes trying to steer the client back to the other AP and the client being unhappy 30 seconds later and roaming back to the correct AP.   Just like before 29.x, I would highly highly recommend keeping band steering / client balancing OFF unless you notice issues with your clients. Modern Windows/Android/iOS clients are smart and look at the QBSS load element in the beacons to decide which AP is correct. AP-side steering is fraught with peril because how well the AP can hear the client may not correlate with how the client can hear the AP. ... View more

FWIW as someone who’s done a lot of open source work relating to these chipsets, the MR55’s (Hawkeye v1) SoC, in addition to being Draft wifi 6, also had a number of known chipset bugs resulting in a bunch of wifi 5 class features being turned off too (in particular, most forms of beamforming are disabled, which also means things like MU-MIMO effectively don’t work well or at all).   So unfortunately in my experience, you will see a performance delta, probably on the order of 20% in the real world, between the MR55 and MR56 simply because of Hawkeye V2 SoC in the MR56 being better and not needing these mitigations. ...

I've tried to troubleshoot some of these and didn't make the connection but in hindsight, I do remember iPhones being the devices linked to these. That's good stuff to know!    Thanks! ... View more

I still had an issues WiFi  Performance hop from 2 to 3 dots on my iOS and Mac devices on one of my AP.  Also roaming between 2 AP working not as expected. I use 802.11r adaptive since most of my devices came from Apple. I disable client balancing and relay on 802.11r and 802.11v but I don’t see 802.11k. I use wpa2 enterprise network with Cisco Cloud authentication and since half year I see lots of disconnections. Only option is to disable and enable WiFi on clients.  unfortunately Meraki support still can’t resolve this  issue. My devices are 2 MR33, mx67 an ms 220 8 port when I using Ruckus or Extreme Network AP I don’t see this kind of problems  PS. Why Meraki Cloud don’t support WPA3 Enterprise? ... View more

@PhilipDAth I've noticed the same interop wise. Ironically almost every client that worked with WPA2-WPA3 personal transition mode also just works with WPA3. The handful of WPA2-only clients I had struggled to deal with a transitionary network.   I'm getting pretty tempted to segregate SSIDs to give me a WPA3 dedicated SSID. Even with PSKs, WPA3's fast transitions help a lot with video streaming when jumping between APs. WPA2 + 802.11r was great at that too but now with KRACK I'm still afraid to use that combo with PSK. ... View more

> if you try to process an RMA, that’s the only address Meraki will be willing to ship to.    It's correct, that the licence and support and tried to the original owner.   I've rarely had Meraki support enforce this.  They normally ask for the shipping address, and just ship replacements.  If you get the odd support person enforcing the letter of the law - close the case and open a new one. ...

SonicWall recently announced MultiGig firewalls.  The TZ firewall 470 has 1.5 GBPS Threat protection throughput and Zero Touch deployment through their cloud based single pane of glass interface.  They are still missing the ease of use that Meraki has.   The tea leaves are pointing in different directions due to Covid19, but we will eventually go back to offices and MutiGig is becoming a reality.   -Dave ...

No I am not also tagging the SSID with 999.  I have 3 other SSIDs that are tagged as VLAN 10, 20, 30.  They all work fine, but the Tesla will not connect to them.  I created A new SSID and I choose to not VLAN tag it.  Now the Tesla connects.  But by not tagging it, it traverses the native VLAN.   ...

The max transmit power does not really matter that much.  You shouldn't go over 14 dBm anyway. The antennas used are the same. The receive sensitivities do seem a little different where the MR84 seems to have better sensitivities at the lower MCS's but a little worse at the high MCS's (depends on the radio, it seems to differ quite a bit).   However being able to do explicit beamforming with 4 radio's instead of 2 will improve range for multi radio clients. ...
