<p class="MsoNormal">We have been fans of Meraki access points ever since switching to them in 2018. Between our 3 locations, we have (35) MR42 inside and in 2020 we installed (14) MR76 outside to cover our parking lots and outdoor spaces. We’ve never had to
do much troubleshooting or any replacements. They just work. We will likely not replace them until Meraki’s planned end of support date of 7/21/2026.

<p class="MsoNormal">For stats, WhoFi has a <a href="https://whofi.com/agents/meraki/">
Meraki agent</a> which we have been using since implementation. In early 2022, WhoFi released a new version of their API to capture the
<a href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211227">Private address feature</a> introduced by Apple in iOS 14 and they worked with us to get updated. Otherwise, that integration has been seamless and maintenance-free as well.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">We are looking to replace our WiFI APs and I'm looking for any recommendations you can provide. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

and ease of retrieving statistical data. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">In the past we have tried to use Who's On My WiFi for gathering stats, but the software doesn't seem to work with all APs unless we disable client isolation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
