The Cisco Meraki MX68CW-HW is a desktop security and SD-WAN appliance with a built-in CAT 6 LTE modem and Wi-Fi, managed from the Meraki Dashboard. It has two dedicated Gigabit RJ-45 WAN ports and ten Gigabit RJ-45 LAN ports, two of which supply PoE+. The LTE modem takes a SIM card and works as a primary or failover uplink.
Meraki rates it at 700 Mbps stateful firewall throughput, 400 Mbps maximum VPN throughput, and 400 Mbps with next-generation firewall detection enabled, for a small branch with up to 50 devices. The 802.11ac Wave 2 radio runs 2x2 MU-MIMO with two spatial streams, up to 1.3 Gbps. Its antennas are fixed and shared by Wi-Fi and LTE. Meraki builds the MX68CW in North America (-NA) and worldwide (-WW) versions with different LTE bands; check the label for the region.
Power comes from an external 100W adapter; the unit draws 19W idle and 89W at full load. It measures 11.2 x 7.0 x 1.1 inches and weighs 2.61 lb. The appliance is sold unclaimed; a Meraki license is required, purchased separately.
The replacement adapter is the MA-PWR-100WAC 100W power adapter. For the worldwide LTE bands, see the MX68CW-HW-WW, and without cellular, the MX68W-HW.
