Verify Device Functionality and Test Network Coverage
1. Check LEDs
The Radio Power LED should be solid green. If it is flashing orange, the firmware is automatically upgrading and
the LED should turn green when the upgrade is completed (normally in under thirty minutes). If the device is a
gateway, the Ethernet LED and the four Signal Strength LEDs should be green as well. If the device is a repeater
only, the Ethernet LED will not be illuminated and the number of green Signal Strength LEDs will show the signal
strength to the nearest Meraki device. See section 2.6 for further details about information conveyed by the LEDs.
Note:
Your MR66 must have an active route to the Internet to check and upgrade its firmware.
