I'll open a case - glad to know I'm not losing my mind!

Anyone else having difficulties enabling an SSID from the iOS mobile application? I select the SSID from the network, then slide the "Enabled" slider and save, but the SSID never enables. The issue occurs across multiple networks in the app. I'm running iOS 17.6.1 and the app is 4.125.0.

So why would they not be counted in the offline indicator at the top? I have one that hasn't been reachable for over a year and it still shows as dormant but there's nothing offline in the indicator.

No noticeable improvements that I've seen. Just make sure your WAN bandwidth can handle it as 30.5 makes the APs very chatty with Meraki infrastructure. https://community.meraki.com/t5/Wireless-LAN/MR36-Lots-of-Traffic-to-from-Meraki-Infrastructure/m-p/222079#M30752

We manage over a thousand MR36 APs across multiple networks. One of the ways (I thought) to see if an AP is down is by checking the Access Points webpage for each network and looking at the "offline" button at the very top. Imagine my surprise when I just happened to scroll through the list of APs and saw one that was "dormant" and had been offline for a few months. Upon further investigation, I found several APs that were in this same state across multiple networks but nothing was considered "offline" in the network Is this the intended behavior? What good is the Offline indicator if it doesn't count devices that are offline?

Definitely a large difference!

Interesting - I'm glad to hear it's not just me. Do you notice it on any APs with prior firmware? That amount daily certainly seems excessive.

I have not tried a rollback yet. The traffic is https over port 443 to those two URLs mentioned above.

We recently upgraded our MR36 fleet to firmware version 30.5. I don't know if it's coincidental, a result of the upgrade, or if it's always been like this and I just now noticed it, but the APs have gotten "chatty" with communicating with Meraki infrastructure, to the tune that traffic to Meraki sites is now our 4th highest bandwidth utilization according to our content filter (we have over 1,000 MR36's deployed across our network). It seems to be in bursts, but traffic will average 500MB - 1GB per day per AP, with most traffic going to usw.nt.meraki.com and use.nt.meraki.com. There is more upload traffic than download, around a 2-1 ratio. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this normal?

The current clients count on an AP dashboard is quite hard to read:

I think you might be on to something here. After spot checking our locations, we have no Chromebooks connected to any AP that auto selected channel 144. We're going through and modifying the RF profile to remove that channel now.

Well, disabling client balancing did not fix the issue. Here's where it gets interesting. We had a spare AP that we've just replaced that problem room with, and all seems fine now. Clients are roaming and connecting as expected. Now the question is - was something wrong with the AP and if so, how would I even begin to explain that to support? Everything appeared fine on the dashboard, but clients just refused to roam to it.

Hi all - we are a school district who just upgraded all of our wireless infrastructure from Cisco 2602i APs to Meraki MR36 APs. Apologies in advance as we are still new to Meraki. We have APs in every classroom - we've recently discovered that in some locations (not all), student and teacher devices (mixture of Chromebooks and Windows devices) are holding connections to remote/adjacent room APs, rather than connecting to the AP in the room. This is especially prevalent in the middle/high schools where students move regularly. Even restarting the device will not force it to authenticate to the local AP in the room. I've adjusted the radio profile on our APs for a minimum of 18Mbps data rate on both the 2.4 and 5ghz bands. Meraki has "Client Balancing" enabled by default, which sounds like a great idea, but I'm wondering if this is causing the issue. Oddly, one of the APs in question only has 2-3 clients connected to it, while adjacent APs have 20-30 clients despite being in a room full of devices. Any ideas on further troubleshooting? Thank you!
