Maximum SSID count

Luffy — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 07:44:23 GMT

Hi guy,

I have a question about maximum SSID in a Meraki AP.

One of my customers wants to set Meraki AP in a Hotel.

In this case, there are 30 floors in the Hotel.

Customer wants to set only a network, not many network in a Meraki organization.

I saw the SSID setting there was maximum 15 SSID in a Meraki MR.

Can I add more SSID or Should I divide more network in a Meraki organization ?

My customer wants to set SSID per floor.

In this case, it needs 30 SSID for my customer.

Is it possible ?

Thank you,

This is a horrible idea!

What are they actually trying to achieve. Will this be just for guest internet access or a range of other 'behind the scenes' services. Corp networks, retail, F&B etc?

It sounds like a LOT of misconceptions need to be addressed.

Maximum as far as I know is 15, but ideally you don't want more than 3 active. More info on that here: https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/WiFi_Basics_and_Best_Practices/Multi-SSID_Deployment_Considerations

I think my customer will install 3 or 4 AP with floor tag and set just 1 SSID per a floor.

What is the benefit of having SSID's per floor? If they are near the end of a floor or are walking between floors the experience would be more seamless if the SSID's were all just 'X Guest' etc...

The only way to do is to setup per floor as per network.

It's not a good practice but that's the only way.

As per network you can do 15 SSID so it should be fine.

But you can make a wish in the wish tab 🙂
