Lee- or anyone 😊 Have you dug much into the APIs and any automation? I found that for our stuff, the GUI is more practical at this time. I have not dug into code yet on GETHUB.

We have long used Meraki as our branch Wi-Fi solution in around 10 sites, and in recent years full-stack branch networking. We use 802.1X-based auth, guest Wi-Fi, pretty much everything. We have as many as 35 APs in a single building/complex, and as many as 4 APs in a bigger conference space. Our reliability has been generally superb, with the rare exception every couple of years. No complaints. -Lee Badman -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Community Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> On Behalf Of Angelo Santabarbara Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2020 9:00 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Meraki at large universities Take this with a grain of salt as perhaps they've solved some of their problems we experienced with our deployment about 5 years ago. We switched from Cisco to Meraki in 2013. We had about half the campus (~450 AP's) moved over when we stopped the process in 2015 due to poor performance and poor client roaming. We did a lot of troubleshooting with them, but in our dorm environments it just worked very poorly. We also had strange network behaviors elsewhere on campus especially after certain firmware updates that we had to have Meraki roll back. Also settings set in the dashboard often didn't take immediate effect so plan on setting, waiting a little bit, and then testing. We do use FortiNAC (aka Bradford Network Sentry), but that wasn't the problem. Ultimately we moved to Ruckus and ripped all the Meraki back out and have been very happy with that solution. Meraki does have a nice dashboard, but some configuration is not possible without contacting Meraki directly. Angelo D.
