Ah, not sure I've even seen that version I've had mine out of service
for so long.

 

I'll probably plug it in and see if my eval period is still intact and
take a looksee... likely on my way to playing with OpenWRT. J

 

Thanks for taking the time to provide the screenshot.

On mine under Network, General, at the bottom of the page is where you
can tell it to look for and install firmware updates.  Screen shots
below.  I really dislike the current web interface.  The original one
was much easier to work with!

At the time (~18 months ago) Meraki support said it wasn't visible.

 

I've since pulled it out of service... so I don't have one to really
look at any more....

It is in the online configuration page if you want I will look at my
configuration and tell you where to find the check for new firmware.
Yeah they like to hide stuff but some things are really do you want to
touch them hidden.

Likewise.

 

I had to reboot it every couple of months on order to alleviate session
stalls or slowdowns.

 

Their management philosophy hides basic admin details from you, such as:
what firmware is the device running. When contacting support, they told
me there was later released firmware for the device. When I asked why it
had not updated  and/or how I could initiate or check that , there was
no good answer returned.

My experience with a free Meraki AP was not good.

Folks:


The owners are NOT happy about our Meraki wireless. I had the splash
page turned on for a while and this seemed to confuse them, but I
disabled that and they still complain about "it doesn't work". I haven't
been able to get my tech support guy on their laptops (Mac's) to take a
look, but I went on the wireless (my office is next door to one owner)
and it worked OK

 

I did notice a few sporadic slow-downs occasionally. 

 

I'm wondering if the cloud management stuff means if the Meraki web site
is busy, the user workstation gets a slowdown

 

Has anyone else noticed that?

 

Wireless strength and connectivity is fine, but I do notice a lot of
'disconnect' events from their laptops. I opened a Meraki ticket and
they basically thought it was the laptop - but their laptops are fine
(they work well at their home apparently).
