Cisco Meraki MX68CW — Cloud-Managed SD-WAN Firewall with WiFi & LTE

The Cisco Meraki MX68CW is an enterprise SD-WAN security appliance with integrated dual-band WiFi and LTE cellular backup in a single compact unit. With 8-port Gigabit switching, advanced threat protection, and cloud management via the Meraki Dashboard, it's the complete branch-office security solution. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty. Note: a valid Meraki licence is required for cloud management and full functionality.

Key Benefits

• Integrated WiFi + LTE: Dual-band 802.11ac WiFi and LTE cellular backup in one device — no separate access point or modem needed
• Cloud-managed SD-WAN: Intelligent WAN with automatic failover, traffic prioritisation, and application-aware routing via the Meraki Dashboard
• Enterprise security: Stateful firewall, IDS/IPS, content filtering, malware protection, and SSL inspection built in
• 8-port Gigabit switch: Integrated LAN switching — enough ports for most small to medium branch offices
• Zero-touch deployment: Meraki's cloud provisioning allows remote deployment and configuration without on-site IT
• Centralised management: Single-pane-of-glass visibility across all Meraki devices from the web-based Dashboard

Performance in Use

The MX68CW is purpose-built for small and medium branch offices that need enterprise-grade security without enterprise complexity. Throughput of up to 450Mbps handles high-speed broadband connections comfortably, while the integrated LTE modem provides automatic cellular failover when the primary WAN link drops — critical for retail, healthcare, and financial branch environments where downtime has direct business impact.

The dual-band 802.11ac WiFi (2.4GHz and 5GHz) supports concurrent client connections, removing the need for a separate access point in smaller deployments. Combined with the 8 Gigabit LAN ports, the MX68CW consolidates router, firewall, switch, and wireless into a single manageable unit.

Through the Meraki Dashboard, IT teams can configure policies, view real-time traffic analytics, deploy firmware updates, and respond to security events across all branch locations simultaneously. This makes the MX68CW particularly well-suited to distributed environments managed by a central IT team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the MX68CW require a Meraki licence?

Yes. The MX68CW requires an active Cisco Meraki Enterprise or Advanced Security licence for cloud management and advanced security features. Without a licence, functionality is severely limited. Licences are purchased separately from Cisco or an authorised reseller.

Is the hardware claimed from an existing Meraki Dashboard?

Yes — the device has been factory reset and unclaimed. You will be able to add it to your own Meraki Dashboard organisation once a valid licence is applied.

Does it include an SIM card for LTE?

No. A nano-SIM from your preferred carrier is required for LTE cellular backup operation.

What is the maximum number of clients?

The MX68CW supports up to 50 concurrent clients, making it suitable for small to medium branches.

What is the warranty?

All Reboot IT products include a 12-month warranty. If a hardware fault develops within 12 months, we repair or replace at no cost. Note: this warranty covers hardware only, not Meraki licences.

What are the shipping costs?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
