Disable Wifi

[cheryl.alvarado]

We have some iOS devices that we will be using to take card payments, and would like to disable wifi connectivity on those phones in order to restrict them to using only the cellular network. Is that possible in Meraki SM, and if so, where would I look for those settings?

Hi @cheryl.alvarado,

While I'm not certain that there is an option to disable wifi, I believe you could Enforce Wifi Whitelisting which allows devices only to connect to networks that are setup within a configuration profile. Then setup bogus SSID credentials (something random enough that it shouldn't be used). Keep in mind that this is a restriction for Supervised iOS devices on 10.3 and above.

This would be setup under Systems Manager > Settings > Restrictions > iOS Restrictions (supervised)
