Packet capture causing reboot

[BlakeRichardson]

Hi All

Overnight I upgraded my MR to MR 32.2.3 in an effort to resolve a network issue however I have noticed that whenever I run a packet capture it causes the AP to reboot, the affected devices are MR44.

So far I'm 3/3 with packets captures causing reboots. 

Is anyone else seeing this?

Same issue with MR36 and MR36H. Any packet capture causes them to reboot, every single time. (MR 32.2.3 currently)

I have had this issue with the CW9164i for almost a year now. I opened a ticket with Meraki support on August 12th in 2025. They advised me to disable Proactive PCAP to stop all APs from rebooting. I still run into the issue of an AP rebooting if I do a manual wireless capture.

Seems to be noted in "known issues" https://documentation.meraki.com/Wireless/Product_Information/Compatibility_and_Firmware/MR_Firmware_Release_Notes

That is a great link!  Much easier to search across all release notes.
