Computer Cannot Connect to Meraki RADIUS

Any ideas what's happening here?

We have a MacOS computer that refuses to connect to the RADIUS (email and PW credentials) via an AP (1 of 4). EAPoL timeout error.

EAPoL timeout indicates an 802.1X issue. How is the SSID configuration? Are 802.11w and 802.11r enabled?

I am not a Cisco employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

Those are both disabled on the SSID.

Does the RADIUS server say it gave permission (sent an ACCESS_ACCEPT)? If it denied permission, why?

Does the Mac have the CA certificate loaded that was used to create the certificate that is being used by the RADIUS server?

This is what I see in the dashboard:

auth_mode='wpa2-802.1x' vlan_id='xx' radius_proto='ipv4' radius_ip='x.x.x.x' reason='eapol_timeout' radio='1' vap='2' channel='157' rssi='44'

No certificate. Connects with email and PW (WPA2).

@Philip D'Ath I think the Meraki Radius is being used, correct @LarsDueck95528 ?

That is correct.

So you have 1 MacOS, which cannot connect to a 802.1x SSID with EAP-PEAP using Local Authentication on 1 AP, but it works on the other 3?

And you have other MacOS pcs that do work on all four APs?

I'd try to look into the settings on the one MacOS pc, and perhaps factory reset that one AP; and see if that does the trick.

All code examples are provided as is. Responsibility for Code execution is solely your own.

Does not work with any AP at the point after further testing. Other Macs/PC's can connect. Can't see what would be wrong with the Mac at this point.
