Hello, I have an Ap (MR46E) that has an alert of "Ethernet uplink speed degraded". I've checked the cable by investigating the port...no errors, CRCs, drops...cable seems good. I've bounced the port. I have the port set for auto/auto and the port is showing 100/full. It's firmware is fully updated. I've set the port for 1000/full, but once I set the speed to 1000, the AP drops and the port shows not connected. Port is showing power is still being issued with 30w.   Not sure what is happening... This Ap has been running fine for over a year and this just started happening a week ago. Any ideas???   AI-generated summary From your community moderators: We're experimenting with using AI to summarize some of our longer threads. The summary has been reviewed by humans for accuracy.   Problem The original poster reported an MR46E access point generating an "Ethernet uplink speed degraded" alert, having already checked the cable and investigated the port without finding obvious issues. Summary The community discussions reveal several potential solutions and troubleshooting approaches. Multiple users reported that physically unplugging the cable from the switch and plugging it back in (using the same port) consistently resolve the issue, while rebooting the AP or disabling/enabling PoE did not work. Other users experienced multiple MR56s dropping their ethernet links to 100 Mbps with degraded status, and tried power-cycling switchports, power-cycling Catalyst switches, and shutting down APs for extended periods. Some organizations reported experiencing both "Ethernet uplink speed degraded" and "Low power mode unplanned" messages for months, with suggestions to test with Meraki switches/firewalls and contact TAC if the issue persists as it could indicate a firmware bug. There is no indication from the original poster that any specific solution definitively resolved their particular issue. ... View more

Hello, I have a remote site that has a lot of users that connect their mobile phones to wifi and eventually exhaust my DHCP scope. I want to block these devices from connecting at all. I have used the block policy, however, these devices still connect and pull a DHCP IP, just have no network access. doesn't really do much good to block them if they still pull an IP. Is there a way within Meraki to completely block a device from connecting and pulling an IP address?   Thanks, Dave ... View more
