Disable MR auto mesh function

[junding@cisco.com]

hi,all

Would like to know if we can disable the auto mesh function,thx

[Philip D'Ath]

I don't think you can. Perhaps trying asking support in case they have something under the hood that they can do.

Hi Jeremy,

The option to disable the auto mesh function is not yet available on Dashboard with the current releases.

I would echo Philip and recommend to give us a call on the support number, as can definitely work our magic for you 😉

Thanks!

hi,

meraki support can definitely do this. we asked them to enable it for one of our customer sites which gives you a tickbox under network-wide settings

cheers

For anybody looking for this, as I was, and couldn't find it in the Meraki Documentation (a lot about Mesh, but nothing about turning this option off). With current firmware there is a tickbox under Network-wide General config under the section "Device Configuration". You can turn the automatic mesh off.

BUT …… (very unfortunately that this option is not documented properly) …. IT WILL DISCONNECT ALL clients. I didn't notice any AP restart, but all clients lost connection for a short period of time. Very odd this happened, because there is no reason for that since both my two AP's are connected to the LAN switch.

This is from my own list of Meraki hidden features

Want to come back and mark Hellmann's reply as the answer like 2 years later on this necro'ed thread? LOL.

actually it doesnt disable AP from probing in mesh. it just turn off on AP mesh repeater function

Now you can do it in Network -> General -> Meshing. You can turning on or off.

Thanks, @CharlesIsWorkin and @Oscar Barrera! I updated the “Accepted solution” for this thread.

Is there anyway I can turnoff meshing on single APs? I have a few that goes to mesh mode, but don't them.
