"When new firmware becomes available it will immediately be available on dashboard for an administrator to upgrade to. Though it will eventually be pushed to qualified networks via the automated upgrade process, the automated upgrade process does not happen immediately after release and is rolled out over time. The automated process can sometimes take weeks to occur on all networks, depending on certain factors." As you can see, the timing is not immediate or set to a specific timeframe. After a stable firmware release is made available, it will be pushed out in batches to different customer dashboards. There is no guarantee as to when this firmware upgrade will be pushed out to a specific dashboard but when it is, it will fall within the upgrade window specified under Network-wide > General. We recommend network administrators to check all of their Dashboard networks periodically for available firmware upgrades and upgrade them manually to the latest firmware versions in such scenarios. There is nothing that you are required to do to mitigate problems with auto-update. What we are observing here is expected behaviour and is simply the way that the auto-update mechanism works. I do appreciate the confusion that the menu can cause and I hope that you find the documentation useful to review. https://documentation.meraki.com/Architectures_and_Best_Practices/Cisco_Meraki_Best_Practice_Design/Best_Practices_for_Meraki_Firmware#Automated_Firmware_Upgrades Meanwhile, feel free to submit feature request for new ideas, as any feature request that is made, sends an email to our Product Managers and Development Teams.
