The first thing I was impressed with was that there is no additional cost for doing this! You can use the DNA licensing you already have. This is a great solution for companies that don’t have the scale, technical expertise or budget to set up a DNA-C (Catalyst Centre) appliance. Just take the kit you already have and add it to the Meraki Dashboard.
We can now get Wi-Fi info without a special profile!
Wi-Fi is less dangerous to us than the LED lights in the office. In fact, the LED light on the AP is the most dangerous part of the hardware.
The money and effort that goes into creating these tools is no small thing, so why would ‘Wi-Fi’ tool vendors suddenly start creating tools for things that we’re not using or doing yet… do they know something we (royal ‘we’ here… I actually mean ‘I’) don’t?
There are many good GUI apps to do this, but I find it much easier to use the built-in terminal that comes with every mac out of the box. There is a CLI app called ‘screen’ that will allow you to use a USB-C console cable

The Apple Network Responsiveness test measures the responsiveness of a network, or its ability to multitask when multiple devices and apps are sharing the network at the same time. But what is it actually doing?
So it turns out that the speed you’re told about for a cable is the minimum, not the limit… Now, I’ve always known that in some way but when you think about it it really makes sense.
