Thanks for the response. I'm not running into any issues with subnets running out of IP addresses to assign. All APs broadcast the same two SSIDs (staff wifi, and general wifi), so roaming between APs does not trigger a new DHCP lease. I looked around in wifi settings more and have made some changes to Meraki's Wireless Access control -> 802.11r settings for the "reduced overhead when a client roams from one AP to another".

I work in the IT department at a medium size high school (about 1000 students). During passing periods the wifi mostly stops working. My theory is that this is due to the huge number of devices that are all on the move simultaneously (roughly 2000 devices) and connecting/disconnecting from many APs over the course of the passing period. Are there settings that could be adjusted to help with this issue? Does anyone else have this issue? If so, have you found a solution? Thanks.
