Yes i disabled 5ghz on my network card, the user has a Mac book and i have no idea where to amend that setting which is why i was wondering if it was possible to disable certain bands on the device itself.

Hey PhilipDAth Thanks for the response, in the picture below you'll see the MX unit and then my laptop and you can see there is nothing in between. Are there additional commands we can run to try and determine the health of the device? During the test we were all connected to the 5Ghz band and we wanted to know if there was a possibility of switching off the 5Ghz network and testing the coverage on the 2.4Ghz band but this doesn't seem possible.

Hey WW, Thanks for the response, Are the Antenna's detachable, i had a look and wanted to unscrew them and attach them again but they appear to be permanently fixed. I decided against trying to unscrew them more in case i damaged the device. We are not running cellular on this device

We are currently rolling out the MX68CW-WW devices in our smart virtual workspace project and we are getting constant complaints about poor wireless coverage. I'm currently running a MX67W and my wireless coverage is what i would expect from the device. I have checked the data sheet on both devices and according to the documentation they are running the same wireless hardware. We have arranged a few site visits to investigate the problem and we have found that there is a serious wireless coverage issue. We run the following command "netsh wlan show interface" to determine the signal strength and from within 2 meters the signal strength has already dropped down to 70% and this gets worse with each step you take away from the device. We have done the standard wireless checks to ensure there is no noise or interference on the specific channels that the Meraki is making use of. Is this the expected range of the device or are we dealing with the hardware fault?

Hey Robert thanks for this write up I see the Z3 units are only able to do 802.1x authentication on the wired ports, how did you guys go about extending your corporate SSID to the home users and were they able to authenticate against your Cisco ISE server?
