Hi I am interested in finding out if the following two things can be achieved through Splash Page customization within the Meraki dashboard (i.e without using any 3rd party). 1. The customer is using SMS based authentication for Guest. They want the ability to prompt the user with a pre-populated country code or a drop down of the country codes for the user to choose from. Is it possible to do so ? I can see it is easy to present the drop down in HTML but how to make sure that prefix will be appended to the rest of the number and sent to Twilio. 2. Secondly, they want the user to be able to accept the disclaimer before they enter the phone number. I can see the Splash Page variables are listed here https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Cisco_Meraki_Hosted_Splash_Page_Variables for us to be able to edit the HTML code but dont think this list is exhaustive. For example I cannot see " $MERAKI:MODERN_AUTH_SMS_INFORMATION_FORM$" variable here. Happy to see if anyone has addressed a similar requirement before. Thanks,

Hi My customer is interested in finding out if the client data (connection start and end time) for Guest users can be tracked for more than 30 days. The dashboard client data is displayed for a max of 30 days. Is there a way (natively through dashboard or through a 3rd party tool) to have that data for more than 30 days ? Thanks,

Hi @floatingpurr did you find any solution to this ? My customer wants exactly the same setup i.e ability to consent before entering the phone number.

No it is a live site we are just upgrading from old MR18s to MR44s so couldnt do a lot of invasive testing.

Hi My customer is facing a problem where in the same office they have got 7 APs as gateways and 3 APs as repeaters. All of them are bound to the same template so network settings are the same all across. The problem is if the user tries to connect to the repeater AP he fails to get a DHCP IP (the client machine shows "no Internet" and the Dashboard shows "no DHCP response" for that particular client. The users get IP fine when connected to any other AP and once they have the DHCP lease and they roam to any of the repeater APs, they continue to work fine. Anyone faced the same issue on repeaters? Thanks,

Thanks Philip for this info. Customer owns the Intune so they will be pushing the certs. We own their Meraki solution so is there anything to be aware of from Meraki's perspective i.e any issues in authenticating mobile phones using certs ? Also is it common to use the same SSID for Corp laptops and mobile phones? I am pushing for SSID re-use using group policy to enforce restrictions on mobile phones as opposed to introducing a new SSID just for the purpose of Corp phones. Thanks,

I have since spoken to the customer more about this and found out they already have Intune as their MDM solution. So they are interested in using that to roll out the certificates to the corporate mobiles. Will that still be challenging ? The way I see it, once they have rollout the the certs to the mobile phones using Intune, Meraki would just see it in the same way as it sees the laptops today and hence authenticate using Radius 802.1x. In such a scenario, is it recommended to separate the SSIDs though for Corp mobile phones and laptops ?

My customer is interested in hosting a splash page (on the meraki Dashboard) that presents the text in the local regional language that the user is in. Is that possible through the custom script?

Hi My customer is using Radius auth for their Corporate SSID which authenticates the company issued laptops based on Cert. They want to extend this authentication mechanism to Corporate-issued mobile phones too such that corporate issued mobile phones are authenticated seamlessly in the similar fashion through cert. My question is has anyone done this before and were there any challenges faced? Is it as straight-forward as it looks ? Thanks, Mariam

Thanks a lot - this is really helpfyul. Do you think it can be turned into anything fancier than this ? Like have any marketing info running in the background etc ?

Hi My customer is looking to design an appealing splash page for Guest access. They are currently using default template of Splash Page on the dashboard which is pretty basic. I have seen other options like Excap or SplashAccess but want to explore what you can achieve with the PHP custom script on the dashboard. Can you please share some images of the Splash Pages you have been able to design with custom script on the dashboard? Thanks, Mariam

Thanks @KarstenI for your response. If the client roams away, I expect it to log the error in Association stage not in any of the subsequent stages. Is that not right ?

Thanks for your response. I do not have access to Radius server log. But will propose this to the team who owns it. So in a typical environment we expect to see 0% authentication issues and 0% DHCP issues unlike association issues which can be present just because the client tried to connect two APs at the same time and then chose one ?

Hi I can see loads of authentication issues for the SSID which is configured for Radius authentication. A lot of same clients that report failed aunthentication later report successful authentication. Anyone else experiencing this ? Thanks, Mariam

Hi I am seeing loads of DHCP errors across all the sites for a customer with the following message although when I check the client I can see it has got the IP and when I check on the DHCP server I can see it has leased an IP. The DHCP server is set up with split scope scenario i.e two DHCP servers serving from a unique pool of IPs. I do not expect a problem because of this but wondering how does Meraki detect DHCP success and whether this is a false alarm. Client made a request to the DHCP server, but it did not respond.type='NO DHCP response' associated='false' radio='255' vap='3' Interested in your thoughts. Thanks,

One more thing that confuses me in this best practice guide is how they have calculated the number of APs based on the client count. They are assuming 30/70 % split for 2.4Ghz/5Ghz users but then they calculate the number of users just based on 5Ghz users. Why are they ignoring the 180 2.4Ghz users in this calculation?

Thanks Philip for your feedback - Would you say the number of users is per AP or per radio ? MR 18 for example has 2 radios. Would we say it can support total of 25+25 users ?

Thanks @BlakeRichardson the customer director wants to provide excellent wireless service to the users. They might end up using docking stations for the reasons you mentioned (dual/big screens etc) but for the purpose of this assessment, we need to make sure their wireless deployment can serve all the potential users. So we have got the expceted number of users for each site and their current AP profile from the client and need to assess whether this AP profile (number and make) can cater for the no of users expected? (Ignoring the coverage aspect of it for this discussion which would be covered in survey separately)

Thanks @cmr . So shall we just take the number of users as a rough guide to calculate the number of users. i.e if best practice is not to allow more than 25-30 users per AP then we can use that as a limiting factor. Throughput of AP becomes less significant in calculations then. Do you agree?

Thanks @ww for this. I saw this guide which does look comprehensive but I cannot understand how they got to the value of 101Mbps as AP's total throughput. That bit of the document is confusing. If I want to do the same for MR 18 which is 802.11n with 2x2:2. Does that mean I come to the value of throughput 50Mbps (which is staggering compared to the value of 600Mbps shown in the datasheet)?

Hi I am doing an assessment for a customer who has asked us to evaluate their Meraki wireless setup and make a recommendation whether it has got enough capacity to accomodate all the wireless users they are expecting in a couple of months time. They are replacing desktops with laptops for everyone hence forseeing a lot more usage of wireless than before. While we wont be able to comment on the coverage aspect of it without the survey, how can we make a best possible recommendation based on the data we have got (expected number of users, info from dashboard)? Linked to the same question, how can we know what is the possible throughput value for any AP in reality (not the one in datasheet as I know that is a theoretical figure)? Thanks,
