Hi, I feel like I'm missing something obvious. The APIs for getting and setting radio parameters still only supports "twoFourGhzSettings" and "fiveGhzSettings", with that only working on the lower-band radio, not support for a 2nd 5ghz radio or 6ghz.   Besides using profiles, how can I use the API to get/set channels for all the radios?   Thanks   ...

Hi All,   Looking for some advice from those more knowledgeable than I am about wifi standards. I work in a school, and (shocker!) students dont always behave well.   I recently had a student completely shut down an AP (MR54) for as long as he wanted by running a simple python script (thanks chatgpt!) . Details are MR54's in every room, 5ghz radius network using 20mhz channels with clients limited to 20mbit via group policy. The AP (and only the one AP he was connected to) completely stopped responding to other clients and even the meraki dashboard.  Other clients connected did not switch to other APs in range.  If they tried to force changing to a different AP by turning wifi off and on, they still reconnected to the affected AP since it was the strongest signal but of course got zero data through.   The only indication of the problem remotely is that the AP page in the dashboard will not fully load since the AP is not sending data to the dashboard.  There are no errors generated in any log or any way to figure out who the culprit is especially if they are smart enough to not launch the attack the moment they connect.  Fortunately for us, this student bragged to his friends...   I raised the issue with meraki support thinking I just didnt have a setting configured properly...but they said since the client was authenticated, this is expected behavior.  No advice on mitigation, defense, nothing.   I'm obviously not posting details of the script, but it is not a simple DoS packet flood, but it is all of about 10 lines.   I realize since it's an authenticated client, I've let the fox in the hen house, but it still seems to me that an AP of this level should be able to have some sort of defense or ability to contain a badly behaving client (who already has bandwidth limitations in place!).     Is it unrealistic to think that an AP could contain or disconnect/ban a client that is clearly not behaving appropriately?  Support's response seems really weird to me...either contain the problem with the 20mbit limit or recognize the attack for what it is and disconnect the client.   ...
