That works! Is there anyway to open up the entire 10.0.99.0/24 subnet using this method, or do I have to define every endpoint within the subnet in order to open up the firewall?

I should have noted that the Company 1 and Company 2 are 150m apart and connected via a Wireless microwave link -so we're not able to do this

Hey guys Bit of a weird one, thought it was going to be easy but I may have overlooked what can be possible. So I have an organisation that has a sub-company (separate entity), both use Meraki MX64. Company 1 has a connection into the internet and Company 2 is using a NAT'd IP from Company 1. Company 1 needs to be able to connect the computer in Company 2, so I've applied a Static route on the 10.0.99.0/24 subnet to route through 192.168.0.30. In the traceroute and packet trace, I can see that any ping going to 10.0.99.3 successfully routes to the company MX64 but then packet doesn't get delivered, as if the MX64 in Company 2 doesn't know where to route the ticket or the Meraki is filtering/dropping the packet. On the packet capture of the Company 2 I can see the ping request, but there is no reply! What should I look out for?

That explanation from Meraki is nonsense. So their justification is they do not want to drop the precious flow of VOIP traffic but also completely destroying its primary functionality...

That's what I thought - but it's weird because Restarting the Meraki fixes the problem. Even if I restart both modems (WAN1/2), it won't resolve the problem until the Meraki is reset. So it's normal for the firewall to stop accepting inbound packets from a different WAN IP range? Is there a way it can be disabled?

Happened again last night - I've got support looking into this but they need some "as it happens" events which means forcefully killing the SIP phones. Any one else had any experience with this? Oh and are you using a MX64?

I have exactly the same problem. When the phones fail over to WAN2, the SIP phones will no longer register with the Cloud PBX. I can see an outbound REGISTER packet going to the right IP address, but I never see the response coming back in. When I reboot the Meraki, voila, everything works. It's not really an acceptable "Fail over" when you also need to manually reboot the Meraki.

I did reboot it at every point. Something is wrong with the way the M1 detects if there is a connected "client", and then puts itself into Standby mode. Because it has a battery it's trying to be smart with power and for some reason the MAC on the Meraki does not trigger that a client is connected - but this is only when it's in IP Passthru mode. When you connect the M1 to your computer, no problems at all, even in Passthru. It gives itself and your computer a public IP. I factory reset the device and ended up leaving it in it's default mode (NAT). I ended up switching the Meraki to a static IP address and then pointing the Netgear M1's DMZ setting to the internal IP of the Meraki. Voila - VPN worked.

I've followed the same steps to try and bridge the unit, on the management GUI there is a checkbox called "Allow IP Passthru" - which I believe is similar to bridging. It works flawlessly when I hook up my Macbook via Ethernet, I get a public IP and used a 3rd party port scanning tool to see that it's accessable via the internet. For whatever reason, however, when I plug the unit into Meraki, the device works for a few seconds at a time before failing.

Getting a public IP address after requesting one from Telstra (ISP). 120.xxx I've factory reset the unit and it seems to work fine in sending the internet through by online when its NAT`ing. The Meraki also seems to like being natted, with the WAN working solidly for 30 or so minutes now. Ultimately the goal is to allow VPN traffic via 4G as the ADSL at this particular venue is just too slow to handle file transfers/RDP and the like. We've tried to connect via Meraki's Client VPN over this WAN but every-time it just fails, tried both with the NAT enabled on the M1. I'm assuming the VPN request is hitting the M1 first and not reaching the Meraki. Maybe port forwarding might do the trick?

Hey guys, Biting the bullet and bought Telstra's Netgear M1 Router and got a public dynamic IP on our sim cards. These little devices work great when we plug the ethernet directly into our Laptops via Ethernet, but the moment we plug them into a MX64 Meraki WAN Port, they fail. On the M1 unit itself, there is an orange light that blinks periodically. It's like the device cannot recognise that a client is connected to it. I'm thinking it has something to do with the MAC addresses, and it simply just does not register the Meraki as a client, throwing the ethernet into a disabled mode (I also notice that the layer 1 lights on the Meraki turn on and off every 30 seconds). Anyone had any success with these?

Woohoo, Thanks @CarolineS. If these are posted from the San Fran office I'll save you the effort and come and pick them up when I'm in San Fran later this month!

Thanks for sharing that @Hammer - Really interesting talk. My biggest take away is the "pennies" analogy. So MU-MIMO does add value to a network, provided very, very specific conditions... but not enough to revolutionise RF. I can't say I've experienced lots of noise/performance degradation from deploying MU-MIMO myself. What are some of the symptoms?

+1 agree with Philip, In what application would you want to turn these technologies off? It's like asking to turn off power steering in a car!

I definitely agree that the Teleworker doesn't need much more in terms of speed, but there are some residential ISPs now that are offering reasonably priced 100Mbps/40Mbps connections here in Australia. As above, the Z units are not suitable as a router for more than 3 clients.

I'd recommend using a Radius Authentication service like Purple WiFi as it can handle Bandwidth/Time limits which can be unlocked with pre-made voucher codes. For example, with Purple you can allow 1 hour of Free use every day and have the ability to charge customers for WiFi access or provide a coupon to continue. You can also limit the amount of data they use rather than set a time limit, eg: 1 GB per day. Purple makes making a splash page easier and can even integrate with Social media. Purple Wifi is free up to 5 APs. If you're in Australia we can help you out with licensing.

Further to this, Apple's WiFi detection is simple, it'll try to connect to: http://captive.apple.com/hotspot-detect.html If it does not get a success reply, the captive web portal browser will appear which will redirect to either Meraki's Authentication splash or a customer Radius Authentication service. So if your walled garden is allowing access to *.apple.com, the Apple device will think that you have access to the internet without authentication and continue as normal. However the user won't be prompted to authenticate until they try to visit a non https site.

Hey All, Long time Meraki user - first time poster. Considering the new acquisition of July Systems, myself and my team would love to know if Meraki's BLE will be used for locating customers on a floor-plan. As many of you may have experiences, triangulation solely by RSSI is dependant on many factors; environment, noise, building materials, even locations that have multi-story can be a challenge. BLE is the answer to this considering it's accuracy. We've had a play around with some low cost beacons and iPhone apps and the accuracy from just a single unit it outstanding, we'd love to see what would happen with Multiple Meraki's using this data to help location data. My question is, will July Systems be implementing the BLE data to help pin-point the location of the customer? Thanks!

I'm assuming the Wireless hardware will be very similar in both units, but you must remember that the MR30H has a switch built into it, which will ultimately consume CPU and hardware resources. It also has to load the Meraki Configuration for the switch onto the RAM. If you do not need the switching capabilities of the MR30, choosing the MR33 will ultimately be the best option for wireless clients.

You can use another Radius based authentication service like Purple Wifi to get a similar functionality. It's free up to 5 Access Points and offers bandwidth limiting (speed/time/data), pre-generated vouchers and Pay-to-use (through PayPal). It also allows you to customise the Captive Web Portal. According to the support team they'll hopefully be exposing the vouchers to their API so you can, in theory, create vouchers on your POS or other systems and issue them to your customers.

Hey Russ, We use Purple as well for Location Analytics - although setting up is very particular. You have the ability to set up exclusion zones so anyone detected in that region will not be counted in the reporting. This works well for neighbouring sites, but ultimately depends on the accuracy of the location analytics, which takes a lot of fine tuning and correct positioning of the APs.

Works really well too, but you have to make this change inside the network, i.e: it cannot be deployed straight to the customer's site without the device "in-hand"
