No API support for more than 2 radios?

nerdherd — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 18:04:27 GMT

Hi,

I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

The APIs for getting and setting radio parameters still only supports "twoFourGhzSettings" and "fiveGhzSettings", with that only working on the lower-band radio, not support for a 2nd 5ghz radio or 6ghz.

Besides using profiles, how can I use the API to get/set channels for all the radios?

Thanks

Using https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/update-device-wireless-radio-settings/ should allow you to manually configure channels on APs.

Setting an RF Profile ID will clear the manual setting, so don't set it.

Right, that endpoint only has two selections, fiveGhzSettings and twoFourGhzSettings, nothing for 6ghz and nothing for the 2nd 5ghz radio. if you set the channel using that endpoint for 5ghz it sets it for the Lower band radio.

Here's the JSON:

{
"rfProfileId": "1234",
"twoFourGhzSettings": {
"channel": 11,
"targetPower": 21
},
"fiveGhzSettings": {
"channel": 149,
"channelWidth": 20,
"targetPower": 15
}
}

It looks like the endpoint doesn't currently support the extra radios/band.

You could make a feature request to have the endpoint updated with the extra features, not a short-term solution though.

One thing to try is use https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/get-device-wireless-radio-settings/ to get the settings you've manually configured for an AP with extra radios, then see if it exposes any undocumented parameters for them, if it does, try those parameters with the update endpoint and see if it works.

Hi,

Yes, we went down that route too. Unfortunately the Get API doesnt include the 2nd 5ghz radio or the 6ghz radio.

I'm really surprised this is an issue since Meraki has had APs with 6ghz radios for 4+ years now.

Thanks though

Hold my beer 🍺

GET https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/devices/{serial}/wireless/radio/overrides just made it to beta. The API documentation will be updated next week in our monthly documentation update. You can try it out and share your feedback.
