FAQs
Can the MX68 use LTE as its primary Internet link?
No. Built-in LTE (MX68CW) or a USB modem is intended for automatic fail-over; the appliance will revert to wired WAN once service is restored.
How many VPN tunnels can I run simultaneously?
The appliance supports up to 50 site-to-site or client VPN connections, ideal for linking branches or remote staff.
Do I need extra hardware for SD-WAN?
No. SD-WAN is native—simply assign both WAN ports, and Meraki AutoVPN handles intelligent path selection and dynamic fail-over.
Is the MX68 compatible with Australian carriers?
Yes. Models that include LTE are certified for Telstra, Optus and other RCM-approved networks, ensuring smooth deployment across Australia.
What happens if the hardware fails?
Cisco Meraki provides a lifetime hardware warranty with next-business-day advanced replacement for the MX68 appliance.
