Interfering APs
MR56 network, clients are reporting disconnects in multiple classrooms.
I'm seeing the following SSIDs when viewing "Interfering APs" in Air Marshal.
My APs are on 20MHz (red circles ) channel 44
I highlighted in green what I believe could be causing interference (80MHz) channel 44+
Not sure if this is the issue since these (dashcam devices) are not on my LAN and are probably broadcasting from cars that are parked nearby.
Thanks in advance for any constructive advice.
Solved! Go to solution.

It looks well, to be honest It's not common to have interference on 5Ghz channels, so I suggest you to open a case with Meraki support to investigate It.

Are all your APs on channel 44? Why? With these other devices nearby and with Ch44 being also used by AWDL, I would move my APs to other channels.

My classroom APs are configured with an RF profile using AutoChannel assignment, which of course will assign radios to channels with low interference.

What firmware version are you running? Something is wrong. The auto channel assignment will not assign the same channel on all radios.

Current interference.
Manually updating auto channels does help and have done it multiple times. Is there a way to block interferers that are not on my network?

First of all, it is not recommended to put all Access Points on the same channel, so I suggest you review some wireless concepts and change this setting, as this is probably what is causing your issue.
