The other remotes CPU usage is in the 20 - 35 percent range. VPN bandwidth varies from 8mbps (20 percent CPU) to 16 mbps (35 percent).

I was wondering where the CPU utilization chart was.. It appears to be overworked 🙂 MX65W usage

I like the idea of splitting the load, with one MX doing the VPN tunnels, and the other the NAT/WiFi.

The camera feeds run about 8 - 12 mbps per site, dependent on the number of sercurity cams at each store. I figured a total throughput of 100 mbps of vpn encryption, but my question is could we have a 70 mbps of vpn, and still have up to 120 mbps of non vpn internet traffic dowloaded. And there is minimal traffic being encrypted and sent to the remotes over the vpn tunnel. Total throughput up and down is max out around 120-130 mbps when i look at the appliance uplink status during speed tests to a few. Even the carriers speed test site located in the Central Office as the Internet Edge router. I work for their ISP installing and troubleshooting CPE. Meraki product line is new for our area, but been doing Cisco and Adtran equipment for 20 years.

Sorry, I did not notice your question until today. Opened a Case with Meraki, and they had someone else who had the same problem. They had to roll the firmware back with them. So we had Meraki do the same, and turn off updates. No issues with customer 7925 phones since. Current version: MR 25.9

I have a small retail customer with a main retail store and 5 branch retail stores. The main site has a 200 mbps symmetrical fiber internet service (1 gbps fiber with a 200 mbps shaper configured on the premise ISP internet router and ISP edge routers) installed in June 2018. Also at this time, Meraki MX65W firewalls were connected to the main site and the remote stores. All MX65Ws have the Enterprise License, no Advanced Features enabled. The remote sites have fiber internet connections through the same internet carrier and are in the same geographic region (with 100 miles range). Remote stores have 20 to 50 mbps symmetric speeds. Remote stores have site to site vpn tunnels back to the main store, to carry Point of Sales Terminal info and Security camera DVR backup video feeds to DVRs located at the main store. The HD Security Camera Feeds from the remotes to the Main Site baselines about 70 mpbs of traffic 24x7 over the 5 vpn tunnels into the Main Site MX65W. This has been working well for about 8 months, but last month the customer started noticing their dowloads seemed slower, and ran speed tests through the Meraki. Downloads performed from PCs on the LAN switch or plugged directly into the MX65W switchports are running 25-50 mbps while the VPN tunnels are running the Video Cam traffic (70mbps in the background) for a total throughput of about 120-130 mpbs through the MX65W during the PC speed test. With the same laptop (having a Public IP) directly connected to the ISP Internet router onsite and the MX65W disconnected, Up/Down speeds are 197 mbps. I did ping tests with do not fragment flag enabled, and MTU size appears to be 1280 over the ISP link to different locations. I have verified good ethernet cables and no speed/duplex mismatches between devices. I upgrade the firmware to the latest 14.x code a week ago with no improvement. Wondered if it may be a MTU issue between the Meraki MX65W and the Adtran 5660 Internet router from the ISP. I opened a support case with Meraki about that possibility, and they have not replied to the question. The MX65W was rated at 250 mbps throughput and 100 mbps VPN tunnel. I assumed that meant that only the VPN tunnel traffic throughput was limited to a max of 100mbps. There are only about 5 office personnel that work at the main site, and a few retail floor employees at the main store. 95 percent of the bandwidth used is for the Security camera feeds. 7 h Should the customer look to go to a larger model MX at the main site. I see that the MX67 is rated at 200 mbps VPN versus the MX65's 100. The MX84 price is much higher with only about a 25 percent performance rating versus a MX67.

I have a MR33 with code version 25.12 connected to a Zyxel managed switch and a MX64 firewall as the default gateway (DHCP server and DNS proxy as well). I have a Vizio Smart TV that I had used with the same switch and a Ubiquiti AC Pro Access point. ChromeCast works fine with the Ubiquiti AP, but my Samsung S7 phone does not even see the TV as an Casting option when using the Meraki AP. Both APs are configured with the same SSID and PSK, and work on the same switch port in the Zyxel switch. Only VLAN 1 is configured on the switchports, as I do not have another SSID configured on either Access Point. The SSID isconfigured in bridge mode. The Smart TV is connected to the switch via ethernet cable with the wireless disabled. I have a Co-worker who is having the same ChromeCast issue with their MR33 installed at their home as well. The company we work for has started selling the Meraki line to our small business customers, and so far no one has needed to do Chromecast at the sites we have installed them. We installed some in our homes so that we could get more experience with troubleshooting them if needed.

After migrating a customer from a Cisco WLC 4400 Series wireless controller with 1142N and 1252N APs to Meraki MR33s and MR74s in a factory setting, the customers 7925G wireless IP phones users have been reporting occasional dropped calls or one-way audio problems that they did not have before. Also, some phones will reset its registration with the Callmanager a few times a day. I have done the following steps: 1. Upgraded the firmware on the 7925 phones to the latest 2. Changed Scan mode on the 7925 to continuous from auto 3. Set Call Power Save Mode to None 4. Set 802.11 mode to b/g 5. On the Meraki VoIP SSID, the Security is WPA2 - PSK, Band steering is On (tried it off). 802.11r is Adaptive (tried On, Off), Minimum bit rate currently at 1mbps (tried 5.5, and 12mbps). Roaming has worked every time I have used it to be on a call and walk around the Factory. I have yet to drop a call while roaming. I can find no errors on the switchports that the Access Points are connected. It is a single separate voice lan for the wireless ssid and voip phones/devices across the plant. This has been going on for 2 weeks that they have been on the Meraki APs, and did not have this issue with the previous WLC 4400 and LWAPs. Has anyone had this issue before, or similar problems. Thanks.
