I opened a case with Meraki support and asked them convert my 9164 AP to DNA-C mode (basically the traditional Cisco AP mode where the AP connects to a Cat9800 WLC). After a couple emails back and forth proving the AP was really mine, they converted it. Took about a day from the time I opened the ticket. Once that happened, the AP connected to my 9800 WLC, upgraded code, and then I was able to convert it into Cisco survey mode. I'm happy to report that the 6GHz radio comes up fine when the AP is in traditional Cisco mode. So this is definitely a Meraki bug. ... View more

Same problem here with a Meraki 9164. I'm trying to do a 6GHz coverage bake-off between Cisco 9136, Meraki 9164, and Aruba 635 APs. Problem is, the 9164 doesn't advertise the site-survey SSID on 6GHz when it's in survey mode. This same behavior was independently verified by a co-worker, who's had a case open with Meraki support since around Christmas. Looks like I'm going to have to convert the 9164 AP from Meraki Mode to Cisco "DNA Center" Mode to allow me to survey 6GHz successfully. ... View more

This Mesh setting appears to be enabled by default now. Nice! Now I can turn it off without opening a case with Meraki support. ... View more
