Understanding the Issue
When your MR36 access point is showing as a client on VLAN 0, it can disrupt network performance and potentially compromise security. VLAN 0 is typically used as a default VLAN for untagged traffic, and having your access point assigned to it may indicate a misconfiguration or a conflict in your network settings. Our expert team at Integrity Hotel Partners is here to guide you through the troubleshooting process and help you get your wireless LAN back to optimal functionality.
Troubleshooting Steps
Resolving the issue of an MR36 access point showing as a client on VLAN 0 requires a systematic approach. Let's delve into the troubleshooting steps recommended by Integrity Hotel Partners:
1. Check Network Configuration
The first step is to review your network configuration settings. Ensure that the access point is assigned to the correct VLAN and that there are no conflicting settings within your network infrastructure. Our team of experts can provide you with thorough guidance on reviewing and adjusting your network configuration to resolve the issue.
2. Firmware Update
Outdated firmware can sometimes lead to compatibility issues, including the MR36 access point showing as a client on VLAN 0. Integrity Hotel Partners recommends keeping your firmware up to date to ensure optimal performance and compatibility. Visit the Meraki support portal to download the latest firmware version and follow the installation instructions carefully to update your access point's firmware.

Integrity Hotel Partners can guide you through the process of configuring VLAN tagging correctly to ensure accurate VLAN assignment for your access points.
