In September, we released some long-awaited features from your feedback and Make-a-Wish requests . Keep them coming! We closely monitor them as they influence our upcoming software and hardware roadmaps.    Meraki Go now offers the following as of app version 2.46.0 on iOS and Android devices : Web management (in beta) Limited broadcast (per-AP broadcasting) Ability to delete locations Ability to delete client data   Limited Broadcast   We heard your wishes for getting more control to decide which WiFi network (SSID) each access point (AP) broadcasts.    By default, all access points in a network will broadcast all enabled SSIDs at once. However, we recognize there may be instances where you’d only like some SSIDs to be broadcast from an AP or group of APs, to both improve your options per location and network performance.   For example, a business may want their ideal setup like the following:  Outdoor Patio SSID: broadcast in outdoor area only Guest SSID: broadcast in lobby and outdoor patio area only POS SSID: broadcast in checkout area only   With limited broadcast (aka per-AP broadcasting), you can select which access points to broadcast on a wireless network. This means you can allow or deny a WiFi network from being used with a particular set of access points.   To make updates to your access points, go to your Settings tab > select WiFi network > select the relevant SSID > navigate to Network Availability > select Limited broadcast. You can then decide which access points that network will broadcast on.    Read more in our documentation .    Meraki Go for web    Taking the cake as a top wishlist request, we’re excited to have Meraki Go available from your web browser (in beta).    As an extension of the intuitive mobile app, you can now access the same features from a web interface, in addition to being able to claim the optional Cisco Umbrella security license. All from the convenience of a larger screen.    Join the Meraki Go beta group to request access .    Delete Location     Accidentally created a network or no longer using it?    To help you keep your networks organized, it’s now possible to delete a network that you no longer need or want in your network list.   To delete a network, visit the Networks tab > select the network you want to delete > scroll to the bottom and hit “Delete network”.    Learn more in our documentation .    Delete Client Data   If you’re looking to clear a specific client’s usage data for maintenance or other purposes, you now have the option to easily do this.    Just go to Networks > select relevant network the client is connected to > under Devices list, select the client > scroll to the bottom and hit “Delete client data”.   Have a Meraki Go feature request?  Visit Make-a-Wish  to request a new feature or upvote on existing wishes.

In May, we released new features to enhance your Meraki Go experiences based on your feedback and Make-a-Wish requests . Keep your requests coming - we regularly monitor and track each of them to prioritize upcoming software releases and hardware roadmaps.    Meraki Go now offers the following as of app version 2.38.0 on iOS and Android devices : Scheduled SSID network availability  MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) Real-time internet usage on the Security Gateway Multi-account switching from the home screen Easy time zone selector    Scheduled SSID network availability    Providing free WiFi for guests is table stakes these days, as it can attract more customers and improve their experiences at your business.    But having your networks (SSIDs) available at all times by default may not always ideal. For example, if you don’t want your guest network used by non-customers outside of business hours.    To give you more control over when your networks are available, Scheduled Network Availability lets you automatically keep your network on at your preferred times only. You can select from easy built-in templates (e.g. 9am to 5pm daily) or customize your time frame per each day of the week.   To setup your network availability schedule, tap the Settings tab in your Meraki Go app, under Access select WiFi network and then the relevant network, and finally under Access control, select Network availability.    Read more about how to schedule SSIDs in our documentation .    Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for added security Defense is the best offense when it comes to many things, including your account security - especially as online threats rise.    Your Meraki Go account now has more layers of security in the sign-in flow. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) lets you add a security identifier on top of your username and password, helping protect your network and giving you peace of mind.    To set up MFA on your account, head to the Settings tab of your Meraki Go app, scroll to the Account section, and click on “Multi-factor authentication”.    You’ll need to download an authenticator app or use an existing one, add your credentials to it, and finally verify your one-time password (OTP). MFA will then be enabled on your account, and you’ll type in a OTP each time you login to Meraki Go.    Note: we recommend saving your one-time passwords in a secure place. All admins on your Meraki Go account will be required to setup MFA once it’s enabled.    Live network usage in the Security Gateway   Need to check your current internet usage in a pinch? Monitoring it in real-time just got easier on the GX20 Security Gateway (router/firewall).    To visualize your live network usage in real-time, simply tap the Hardware tab from your Meraki Go app, and select your GX20 Security Gateway device.   Scroll to “Live usage” and you’ll be able to see second-by-second updates on network usage and take any necessary action to increase productivity at your business.    Easier multi-account switching     If you’re managing multiple Meraki Go accounts, toggling between them can now be done with ease in just a few taps.    From the home screen in your Meraki Go mobile app, tap the Locations menu at the top. You’ll see a list of all your locations, and can select any ones you’d like to manage.   Note: You’ll only see Locations at the top of your home screen if you have multiple Meraki Go accounts.    Easier time zone selector   Whether you’re setting up a new account, changed time zones, or have multiple accounts, ensuring your network is in the correct time zone is useful when monitoring your network usage and analytics.    We recently added a simple selector that lets you scroll through a comprehensive list of global time zones to select the one your network is in.    From the Meraki Go app, tap the Settings tab, scroll to Your account, and then select “Time zone” to apply the right time zone for your network.    Have a Meraki Go feature request?  We’re listening! To request a new feature or upvote on existing feedback, head to our page  Make-a-Wish (Feature Requests). You can also go to the mobile app, tap on Settings, and click “Make a wish” under the Help section.   If you’re new to Meraki Go, learn about our simple networking solutions in our onboarding documentation or watch videos in our YouTube channel .  ...

We recently released new features based on your Make-a-Wish requests in the Meraki Go Community and mobile app, and ways we’re continually innovating to keep you growing. Submit anything on your wishlist to help shape our product roadmap - we actively monitor each of your requests!   Meraki Go now offers the following as of app version 2.21.0 on iOS and Android devices : Dark mode, Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) support, and QR codes for WiFi access.    Dark mode for more productive evenings   Meraki Go mobile app in dark mode   You can now enjoy our newly released dark mode on the Meraki Go iOS and Android apps.   We heard your requests for dark mode - whether you’re managing or troubleshooting your business in the evening, just prefer a darker theme, are sensitive to bright light or have other visual needs.    In addition to keeping you more productive by reducing any potential eye strains you have with a bright UI at night, dark mode can also improve the battery life of your smartphone.    Toggling between light mode and dark mode only takes a few taps. Simply open your Meraki Go app, head to the Settings tab, scroll down to "Color theme" and change to dark mode.    VLAN for enhanced network security   VLAN settings in GX Security Gateway     Meraki Go now features VLAN (Virtual Local Area Networks) support in our Wireless Access Points (GR) , Security Gateway (GX) , and Network Switch (GS) devices.    This means you can enhance your security by segmenting your traffic into multiple virtual sub-networks (subnets), to keep certain traffic separate from others. VLANs also increase your cost savings as your subnets are virtual, removing any need to purchase more networking gear.    If you think of a highway with no traffic lanes where everyone is trying to go full speed, this can cause loads of speed and other inefficiencies, as well as safety concerns when there’s no order in place. With VLANs, you can create separate lanes to optimize and track your traffic, data, and security.   We recommend businesses of all sizes to use VLANs. For example, if you’re the owner of a local home improvement retail store who offers free guest WiFi, right now you may have all of your employees, customers, and devices using the same shared network. On top of security issues, this model can slow down your network.    Using VLANs, you can setup multiple separate networks, such as a company network, a guest network for customers, and a POS (point-of-sale) network. By creating isolated, secure networks for your POS devices and guests, this helps increase your security and PCI (payment card industry) compliance across credit card transactions.    Learn how to configure VLANs on your GX security, GR wireless, and GS switch devices in our Meraki documentation .    QR codes for better customer WiFi experiences   Printable QR Codes for customer WiFi     To make it easy for customers to access your WiFi and enhance their experience while visiting your business, you can now generate printable QR codes from the Meraki Go mobile app. Instead of a customer having to request your password, then enter in a jumble of letters, numbers, and/or symbols to login to your network, a QR code makes this process fast and painless.    From the Meraki Go app, you can simply select your network, select Share WiFi, then print your QR code as a PDF, and use it as you would for other branded materials at your business. Such as displaying it at your office check-in counter, at your payments register, on your menus or even on customer tables.   So whether you have patients in the waiting area of your dental office, customers in line for a pickup outside your retail electronics store, or guests dining outdoors and social distancing on your newly built patio - all they need to do is scan the QR code from their smartphone camera app to be securely connected to your network.    Learn how to print your QR code in our Meraki documentation .    Have a Meraki Go feature request?    We’re listening! H ead to our page Make-a-Wish (Feature Requests). You can also submit your asks via the mobile app, by tapping on Settings, and clicking “Make a wish” under the Help section.   Let us know what you think of the new features by commenting below - we’d love to hear from you.  ...
