Thanks for your input @pjc On some sites before we put in CW9172's we did deploy some MR36's and these were almost the same in terms of coverage with the MR33's. Therefore we assumed (wrongly) that the CW9172's would be the same or similar, but looks like we were wrong and the CW9172 do not perform as well. ... View more

Thanks @AidanKamp we now have a case open and I think the engineer was going to reach out to you.  ... View more

@RaphaelL Thanks, first one below shows a site where we tried to increase transmit power. Second one is from a site set to auto, same as MR33's were.     ... View more

Thanks @alemabrahao there is no issues with interference which is flagged in the portal. APs are in the same positions as MR33's. ... View more

Thanks @MarcP based on that I would interpret the CW9172I to be slightly better or at least the same as the MR33   MR33 CW9172I   ... View more

Thanks @alemabrahao These APs are in branch offices and I would consider them low density, 5-10 clients max. We were told that they were like for like replacements with MR33's which are also general use/low density APs. ... View more

We set all networks to the latest stable release MR 31.1.8, which appeared to be successful however when you look at some APs it says status 'skipped' or 'started', but no change for days/weeks. Looks like there is a post about this, but not recent update on the status, assume still broken. So unless someone can tell me where to find what the APs are actually running, as I can't see it anywhere https://community.meraki.com/t5/Wireless/Issue-Affecting-CW9172I-and-CW9172H-Access-Point-Upgrades-to-MR/m-p/283845#M39163   ...

Thanks @alemabrahao Do you have a link to official documentation on this? We were told by our Meraki rep that CW9172I would be a direct like for like replacement of the MR33's in the current lineup. ... View more

Thanks @MarcP We have disabled 6GHz on one of the sites and changed the radio to run in 2 x 5GHz instead of 6GHz, neither configuration makes a different to coverage. We have adjusted power up and down and had set to auto, again neither impact coverage. APs are ceiling mounted, the same place as MR33's were. ... View more

Thanks @alemabrahao Some sites auto switched to 160MHz with the new APs, but we changed them to 80Mhz, we running 80Mhz with the MR33's with no issues. We could try turning off 2.4GHz, but clients are connected to 5Ghz, so doubt it will increase coverage. Sorry to clarify, coverage is the issue we are having. CW9172 APs in the same location as the previous MR33's were provide much worse coverage. Changing settings one by one and testing doesn't make any difference. It seems the hardware (or firmware) is just worse. ... View more

Sure, this is one site This is another where we have tried turning off 6Ghz and changing it to run with 2 radios instead of 3, none of the settings increase performance. With the MR33's we pretty much had everything set to auto and had no issues and good performance.   ... View more

Is there any update to this? We recently upgraded all sites to MR 31.1.8, which from the Meraki portal appeared to be successfully, however after going into each AP, it shows as 'firmware skipped', but in the upgrades area it showed no issues or failures. ... View more

Thanks, mandatory to offer it. But most other vendors allow you turn it off/on separately to WiFi 7 being enabled or not.  ... View more

Thanks @alemabrahao thats the overall setting for WiFi7 / 892.11be, what if you didn’t want MLO enabled? ... View more

Yeah we can get the 9162 for £400, but like you say its getting on now, released 2022 I believe. But I think they still sell WiFi 6 APs, released in 2019/2020. ... View more

What are people's thoughts on the CW9172I https://meraki.cisco.com/product/wi-fi/indoor-access-points/cw9172i Still seems very expensive, best price we could find was £740 ex VAT. We are looking to upgrade from MR33's, but may need to look at the CW9162 which are half the price almost. ... View more

Is this with the wildcard or without it? ... View more

It is whatever server its connecting to, for us we are using NPS for RADIUS. But I did test the Meraki one, pretty sure it only worked when using the full one for the current network. I think not being able to use wildcards is an Intune limitation. You can have multiple entries in the Intune WiFi configuration, so you can list all the entries for all the different Meraki sites (not sure if there is a maximum you can specifiy). Just make sure you also upload the root CA and specify it in the profile as well, as shown in previous screenshot. ... View more

Its towards the bottom of the WiFi configuration profile. You will need to put the server certificate name and the root certificate. This is to prevent a MitM situation, connecting to a rogue WiFi network.   ... View more

@CGRE This is usually down to the 'Certificate server names' not being populated in the Intune WiFi configuration. I think in some cases wildcards are not supported, i.e. *.domain.com ... View more

There isn't at the moment, but I am sure they will be releasing an MR version at some point, they had a mix of CW/Catalyst and MR/Meraki with WiFi 6E models.      ... View more

Anyone have any news on the MR WiFi 7 equivalents? ... View more

Have you tried following this guide? There are quite a few steps involved in the process https://oliverkieselbach.com/2024/03/04/how-to-configure-cloud-pki-certificate-based-wifi-with-intune/ It doesn't include the Meraki part, but it details the steps required to get Cloud PKI setup and the Intune configurations setup. You will need the Cloud PKI trusted cert and issuing cert deployed and then a SCEP configuration for the device to request the SCEP certificate. ... View more
