I also had a problem like this last week with one of the same generation boards with separate PSU. I reached the same conclusion - take out the power lead to the board and put back in. Voila. Not an ideal solution, mind.

Have you tried disabling USB selective suspend? Go to control panel > power options > change plan settings > change advanced power settings > USB settings > USB selective suspend settings > set to disabled.

Can I just ask why the school felt the need to switch to Casper? What was the Meraki support request about? Thanks.

Looks like it will continue to be free if you had Systems Manager with over 100 devices before March 15th 2015, which we did - luckily. And you'll be able to add an unlimited number of devices for free, too. https://meraki.cisco.com/blog/2015/03/one-systems-manager-to-rule-them-all/ For new customers, Systems Manager will now be limited to 100 devices for free accounts.

Hmmm. We've had over 100 devices since last September and it's still working and no mention of a charge.

Yeah I may be able to stop using it. Will have to wait and see about this no Apple ID thing, and then give it a whirl with Meraki and silent push with the student iPads. On another note - I heard Cisco were going to start charging for Meraki Systems Manager. Is that still the case?

Oh right - nice! Yeah we have Meraki for the staff and student iPads. Have recently experimented with pushing apps to the staff ipads who use their own apple id's, so that would be brilliant if I can just carry on using Meraki and push apps to all the student ones. No need for an expensive MDM!

Hi Quackers - ta for the post. When you say that "no Apple ID's required" - what do you mean by that, and what consequences will it have? I currently manage using configurator and syncing trolleys, but thinking about getting a proper MDM as we've now got rather too may iPads for me to run around plugging them into configurator all the time.

Meru MC1500 controller and 10 APs. All fully working. We recently upgraded our WIFI so this is our old system. Controller has ears for racking as well as serial cable and software cd. Access points all come with 6 antennae and mounting plates. Any sensible offers considered as this is just sitting in a cupboard. Collection preferred from Primary School in Bromley, Kent. Willing to courier - but might cost a few bob! PM me if interested. Thanks!

This is a lot of help. I've just taken over at a school who have supernetted in exactly the same way - changing from a subnet of 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.254.0 to double the number of IP addresses they can use. This was all working hunky-dory until we had loads of external headteachers in yesterday wanting to get online on their devices for some training. Devices receiving IP addresses via DHCP on the old 10.36.4.* range work fine both wired and wirelessly. Devices receiving IP addresses via DHCP on the new 10.36.5.* range would only work via a wired connection, but NOT wirelessly. We have an 8 hour IP lease here, so all the nice old 10.36.4.* addresses were taken when the headteachers rocked up in the afternoon for their training. None of them could get online. Very embarrassing. This was doing my nut until I deduced that it must be something to do with the wireless controller configuration (they have a very nice, reasonably new Meru network). The external company who came in before I started to do the IP range extension must have left out the wireless controller configuration, as it looks like the controller is still on the 255.255.255.0 subnet. The option for me to change the subnet mask on the wireless controller is greyed out for me, so I am currently in the process of getting support from Meru to sort this out. Will post back when it's fixed. Hope this is useful for someone if they ever have the same issue!
