Meraki AP Local Device Configuration (my.meraki.com)

You can manage the local settings on a Meraki AP by going to http://my.meraki.com. You should also be locally connected to the AP either via wired (enable Clients wired directly to Meraki APs) or wireless. The login info can be found in Meraki dashboard by going to Network-wide > Configure > General > Device Configuration > Local credentials (my.meraki.com). There's a fixed user name of admin and the password is the email address used to login to Meraki dashboard. Just click Show password to display the password (email address). An error similar below will be shown if you're not locally connected (wired or wireless) to a Meraki AP.


There are three tabs on the My Meraki portal: Connection, Neighbors and Configure. The Connection tab gives you a summary of the Meraki AP's IP address and radio settings.


You can also perform a Speed Test from the portal.


The Neighbors tab shows nearby SSIDs and its settings, which is similar to a wireless analyzer tool such as inSSIDer.


You'll need to login when you go to Configure tab. I initially tried to login using the Meraki AP's serial number (Qxxx-xxxx-xxxx) with a blank password but it didn't work. I was only able to login using the admin/Meraki dashboard email address combination. This local device credentials can be found on the Meraki dashboard under Network-wide > Configure > General > Device configuration > Local credentials (my.meraki.com).



You can choose either DHCP or Static IP address and VLAN assignment for the Meraki AP.



You can also manually adjust the channel and power for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio.
