Automated Firmware Upgrades
Meraki’s goal is to make networking simple and one of the ways that we do this is by automating firmware upgrades. In order to support the process of firmware maturity and to provide the most stable experience to customers, Meraki will schedule firmware upgrades for networks that meet the criteria for a firmware upgrade. All qualified networks receive automated upgrades. While this upgrade method does not require any additional input from the administrator, it may not be appropriate as a complete firmware management process, depending on the needs of your network.
When new firmware becomes available it will immediately be available on dashboard for an administrator to upgrade to. Though it will eventually be pushed to qualified networks via the automated upgrade process, the automated upgrade process does not happen immediately after release and is rolled out over time. The automated process can sometimes take weeks to occur on all networks, depending on certain factors.

Some factors that may affect the automated deployment time period include: potential conflicts between new and old firmware builds, the number of devices receiving the new build, or special configurations on critical devices or networks that require caution for upgrades. The primary considerations for Meraki when deploying firmware upgrades is to preserve maximum security, uptime, and compatibility. If any of these factors are at risk, Meraki may choose to wait to deploy until those risks have been resolved.
The firmware that is selected via the automatic upgrade process can be one of three release types; Stable, Stable Release Candidate, or Beta. When an automated firmware upgrade is released by Meraki, networks that are scheduled for automated upgrades will be moved to the latest version. Periodically, automated upgrades may occur for firmware versions that are beta, stable release candidate, or stable. Customers will be notified via email when these upgrades are scheduled.

Automatic upgrades for beta firmware releases will only be scheduled for customers that have enabled the ‘Try beta firmware’ option in Network-wide > Configure > General or who are already running an older beta firmware release.
While automated firmware upgrades are pushed out to all qualified networks over time, due to the potential delays mentioned above, a more manual process may be required for some organizations. If a network needs a more timely upgrade pattern, it is best for the organization administrators to schedule upgrade times manually on the Organization > Firmware Upgrades page in the dashboard.
