FAQs
Does the MG51 work with non-Meraki firewalls and routers?
Yes. Although optimised for Meraki MX SD-WAN, the MG51 presents a standard Ethernet hand-off that any compatible gateway can use.
Can I install the MG51 outdoors?
Absolutely. Its IP67-rated enclosure withstands Australian heat, dust, and rain. Just power it with PoE+ or the optional DC adapter.
What happens if my 5G carrier is unavailable?
The dual-SIM Cat 20 LTE modem automatically fails over to the secondary SIM or LTE bands to keep you online.
How much data does the MG51 use for management traffic?
Idle telemetry averages 6–8 MB per day; bandwidth for user traffic is unaffected.

Every MG51 requires an active Meraki Enterprise licence (1, 3, 5, 7, or 10 years) that bundles cloud management, 24 × 7 × 365 technical support, firmware updates, and a lifetime hardware warranty with next-day advance replacement.
