Wireless Network Configuration Management

Wireless settings configuration in Meraki networks provides administrators with comprehensive network-wide wireless behavior control, enabling mesh networking management, IPv6 bridging, location analytics, LED control, upgrade strategies, and VLAN monitoring. This functionality supports wireless infrastructure optimization, client experience enhancement, network maintenance coordination, and operational visibility. Wireless settings are essential for standardizing wireless behavior, optimizing network performance, implementing upgrade policies, and maintaining consistent wireless operations across enterprise deployments.

Examples

Example-1: The example below demonstrates wireless settings configuration.

This configuration manages network-wide wireless infrastructure parameters and operational settings. The example includes mesh networking, IPv6 bridging, location analytics, and upgrade strategies for comprehensive wireless network management.

This wireless settings configuration disables meshing, enables IPv6 bridging, and activates location analytics. LED lights on access points are turned on, and the upgrade strategy is set to minimize client downtime. Additionally, the named VLANs pool for DHCP monitoring is disabled, with a monitoring duration of 5 minutes.
