Thank you all for your input. I will be looking in to the Splash Access option. Whether or not we go with this option is another thing.

We are trying to setup a guest wifi. The requirements would be that the guest wifi password would need to change once per week. We have setup a user and assigned a password and authorized the user. we can access and login to guest ssid. The issue per-se is, can the process of changing the password weekly and emailing password to certain folk be automated? Trying to make this as hands off as possible. Thank you

If I look at an AP at 81% very high, on channels 11 and 44 and 2.4 GHz. Under utlization I see channel 11 is at 79%. If I only look at the channel 11 and interferance I see the following: It appears I have interferance from FraserHome and some of the APs onsite such as 1302/1304, Commonds. And for some reason 1302/1304 is showing up twice.

This is in relaation to the previous post I had started: I just wasn't sure I should start a new post. https://community.meraki.com/t5/Wireless-LAN/High-interference-situation/m-p/112874#M16373 According to the profiles I believe we are using auto channel right now. Here are some screen shots if this helps provide further insite. I am bit confused as this shows Auto Channel if I go to Edit settings I see the following: Which is correct? Thanks

Can a Fixed Wireless internet set up conflict with Meraki wifi? We use an internet service provider which I believe uses Microwave towers (they look like small dishes) to deliver internet. The location is also using Meraki Wifi. Could this situation cause interferance on the wifi network? Thanks

for clarification: one SSID for the whole building and individual VLANs for each apartment?

I looked at the summary report and this is what I saw: and device utilization shows as: I also had our internet service provider dig in to details on their end and it shows a much different take on this issue. From what I can see (this is my take on it), there are two possible situations: 1. The MX is somehow not allowing the full 200 MB 2. we have to move to a higher speed internet connection. possibly 400MB Thoughts? Thanks

There is also this graph of the Live Data which I had not seen before: I see 200MB/s here (which I have not noticed before.

Right now we have the minimu bitrate set to 11 MB. I will try upping it and see what this does.

I'll look in to this further. Where should this be set MX or MR? Does on over ride the other?

Meshing is disabled. We also do not use the 80Mhz channels. Where would I check for the MX not near 100% load? Are you referring to network usge - see screen shot below..

I have Meraki MR42's installed at a 3 storey appartment. There are 8 appartments per floor, with 4 on one side and 4 on the opposite side. I have MR 42 AP's in 18 of the appartments (wall mounted) - and 6 appartments without. The AP's are in the same room numbers on each floor. example: 101, 201 and 301. I have a 200MB/s (symetrical) internet connection which comes in to a MX86 firewall and from there to a switch where all the APs connect to. Right now there are on average approx 216 clients connected at any one time, and can be a variation of smartphones, smartTV's, watches, macs, ipads, laptops, etc. Right now we have one SSID for each 2 appatrtments, for example, a SSID called 307/306 and users in those condos are given the password for that SSID so they can only connect to that SSID. On average there is approx 10 to 16 clients per SSID. We are trying this as an option as there is so much interference - with many dropped Zoom/TEAMs calls, Yotube videos, netflix etc. We have set a client per AP of 25MB/s (SSID is left at unlimited). Overall the experience is poor for all. I know there is documentation on recommendations for high density environments but is there something available for high interference environments? I also have the auto power (with a set range) and Auto channel. I am also using band steering. If I run a speedtest from an client connected to an AP I see approx 135MB's download and 75MB/s upload. If I look at the WAN bandwidth I have never seen it hit any higher than 100MB's - half of the 200MB's. Should I be looking at setting up group polices on MX? Should I change something such as a separate SSID for 2.4GHz and another for 5Ghz for all APs Shoud I be using traffic shaping? Should I be setting up speed on the MX appliance or on each SSID/AP? Should I be upping our internet connection speed? And if so to what? I have a Meraki vendor in looking at the issue, but I thought I would post here as well, in case others have run in to this situation and can share their insight. The vendor ran an assessment and this is how we determined the interferance. I apologize for the length of this post, I wanted to provide as much information as possible. I know I will get back many suggestions. that is fine. I am just trying to figure out what the solution would be to make this situation better. Thank you

Thanks @DarrenOC. what about using the Global bandwidth limits on the MX instead? That would also apply the bandwidth rule to all clients. Thoughts?

We have 19 Cisco Merak MR42 APs set up in 19 apartments. There are a total of 24 apartments. We also have a Meraki MX84 firewall, and 100 MB up/down internet. I am trying to figure how best to set up the Bandwidth settings for this kind of set up. A lot of the users use things like Netflix, youtube, facebook etc. In looking at the various settings I am a bit confused on what to set to allow enough bandwidth for things like online video. It appears you can set bandwidth settings on the MX as well as on each AP or SIDD. there are traffic shaping rules, per SSID and per client and traffic shaping per application type. I am looking for advice on best to configure this. I hope I have given enough information. thank you
