Yeah, C is the most likely reason, no cloud connection means default SSID.

Wait, I thought it was D! Site Survey mode? Really?

I disagree, B makes more sense if it can't reach the gateway.
JU

I think it's A, no wired connection means it defaults to SSID.
SH

It's definitely C, the AP needs to connect to the cloud first.

I’m a bit confused, but I recall something about default gateways affecting connectivity. Could option B be the cause?
GI

I practiced a similar question about SSID broadcasting, and I think Site Survey mode could be relevant here, so maybe option D?
JA

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option A could also be a possibility since a wired connection is crucial for APs.

I remember studying about how APs behave when they can't connect to the cloud, so I think option C might be the right answer.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. Is the "default SSID" the same as the "broadcast SSID"? I want to make sure I understand that before I choose an answer.

Okay, I've got this. The default SSID being broadcast means the AP hasn't connected to the Meraki cloud, so it's likely option C - the AP has never connected to the Meraki Controller.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem pretty technical, and I'm not super familiar with Meraki APs. I'll have to think through the possible causes carefully.

This looks like a pretty straightforward Meraki AP question. I think the key is to focus on the default SSID being broadcast, which suggests the AP is not fully configured or connected to the Meraki cloud.

Haha, I bet the default password is 'password'! But seriously, I think C is the right answer. No connection to the cloud means the AP is stuck in its default configuration.

User1: Exactly, it's important for the AP to connect to the cloud to receive updated configurations.
RE

User2: Yeah, that makes sense. Without connecting to the cloud controller, it would just keep broadcasting the default SSID.

User1: I think C is the right answer. No connection to the cloud means the AP is stuck in its default configuration.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards B. An AP cannot connect to the default gateway. If the AP can't reach the network, it might revert to the default SSID.

I agree with you, C makes more sense in this scenario.
DO

That could be a possibility, but I still believe it's C.
LA

But what if the AP is having trouble connecting to the default gateway?
LE
Lemuel

I think it's actually C. An AP has never connected to the Meraki Cloud Controller.
MA

I'm going with D. An AP has Site Survey mode enabled. That would explain why the default SSID is visible, as the AP is in a mode to help with deployment.

But if the AP has never connected to the Meraki Cloud Controller, it makes sense that the default SSID is broadcast.
NA
Natalie

I disagree, I believe it's A.
SH
Shalon

I think the correct answer is C. An AP has never connected to the Meraki Cloud Controller. That makes sense since the default SSID is being broadcast, indicating the AP hasn't been properly configured.
BE
Beckie

I see your point, it does make sense that the default SSID is being broadcast because the AP hasn't connected to the Meraki Cloud Controller.
DI
Dino

That could be a possibility, but I still think option C is more likely.
MI

But what if the AP just doesn't have a wired connection to the network?
LA
Lashanda

I agree, option C seems like the most logical choice.
IR

I think the answer is C.
