Features

• Retrieve a CSV report of all Meraki SSIDs in the organization.
• Add, update, or remove SSIDs in batch mode using CSV as input.

Prerequisites

1. PowerShell 5.1 or later.
2. Meraki API Key: Obtain an API key from the Meraki Dashboard. Refer to the Meraki API Documentation for details.

Installation

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Place the Meraki Wifi Manager folder in a directory of your choice.

Usage

1. Double‑click Meraki Wifi Manager.cmd or run Meraki Wifi Manager.ps1 in PowerShell.
2. On the menu choose R generate a Report CSV file.
3. Use that CSV file to plan updates to your SSIDs.
4. On the menu choose U to update your Meraki network SSIDs.

Menu: Report

Use the Report menu to export a CSV file with all the SSID settings for the organization. This CSV can be used as the basis for an Update operation.

Initially, all rows are set to Skip. Change rows to Add or Remove as needed.

• If you are just updating an existing SSID row, use Add.
• If you want to add more rows, add them manually by copying existing SSIDs and changing their contents.

Menu: Update

To use the CSV for Update purposes, change the AddRemoveSkip column to Add or Remove or Skip

• Remove: Only the SSIDName matters, other columns are ignored. Meraki slot name is returned to default SSID
• Add: Existing SSIDName will be updated if found, otherwise added to next available slot (slot number is ignored).
• Skip: Ignore this row. Rows can also be deleted.
