MX68-HW is the Cisco Meraki MX68 cloud-managed security and SD-WAN appliance for small branch deployments that need a higher-density wired LAN edge with integrated PoE Plus. The platform runs Cisco Meraki MX firmware and is administered through the Meraki Dashboard for policy, firmware, monitoring, alerting, and remote troubleshooting. Hardware includes two dedicated 1G RJ-45 WAN ports, eight dedicated 1G RJ-45 LAN ports, two 1G RJ-45 LAN ports with PoE Plus output up to 30W per port, and one USB 2.0 port for local hardware connectivity. This bare hardware SKU does not include a bundled MX subscription, so MX Small licensing is purchased separately for Dashboard management and service entitlement. MX67-HW is the closest lower-port sibling, using four wired LAN positions instead of the MX68 model's ten-port LAN layout with PoE Plus. The model is useful where small sites need firewall services, local port density, and limited powered-device connectivity without adding a separate access switch for every branch cabinet.
700 Mbps of firewall throughput supports small-branch internet-edge routing, NAT, VLAN segmentation, and Layer 7 policy enforcement across Gigabit Ethernet handoffs. 400 Mbps of NGFW detection throughput and 300 Mbps of prevention throughput size Advanced Security inspection for Cisco Meraki MX 19.1x test conditions, with production results shaped by firmware, traffic profile, and enabled services. 400 Mbps of VPN throughput under RFC2544 testing and 300 Mbps under EMIX testing handle Auto VPN, third-party IPsec peering, and L2TP/IPsec client VPN traffic. 25,000 maximum concurrent sessions provide flow capacity for the documented 50-device sizing point, while 50 site-to-site VPN tunnels, 50 client VPN tunnels, and 100 Cisco Secure Client AnyConnect sessions support small distributed access designs. MX68-HW also supports Dashboard-managed traffic shaping, content filtering, AMP malware protection, IDS/IPS, geo firewall rules, Active Directory integration, Syslog, NetFlow, and remote packet capture with the right license tier.
MX68-HW operates at the branch perimeter, internet edge, or compact access aggregation point where WAN circuits, local Ethernet devices, site-to-site VPN, and remote access policy meet. Desktop placement, wall mounting, external 100W DC power, two PoE Plus LAN ports, and active-passive warm spare pairing with the same model support small sites that need firewalling and limited powered-device connectivity in one appliance. The hardware-only SKU keeps subscription tier, term, and renewal handling separate from the device. ORM Systems offers this firewall in new and certified refurbished condition, with chassis inspection, power-on testing, interface checks, factory reset, accessory confirmation, and license-state review before dispatch.

MX68-HW fits small branches where the firewall edge also needs a few powered Ethernet handoffs. Two WAN ports support circuit separation, while eight standard LAN ports and two PoE Plus LAN ports reduce the need for an extra switch in compact wiring areas. The appliance applies Layer 3 and Layer 7 policy, Auto VPN, traffic shaping, and threat services from Meraki Dashboard. The site gains a consolidated security edge with predictable 700 Mbps firewall sizing and limited powered-device connectivity for phones, cameras, or access points.
Operations teams deploy MX68-HW when a small site needs firewalling, local Ethernet fan-out, VLAN boundaries, and controlled PoE Plus ports in the same desktop appliance. Dashboard templates define WAN, LAN, DHCP, VPN, and security policy before shipment, keeping branch setup consistent across locations. The 25,000-session limit and 50-device sizing point fit compact offices with predictable traffic. Local devices receive wired access while central teams retain policy visibility, alerting, and remote troubleshooting from the Meraki cloud during repeatable branch rollout waves.
MX68-HW supports branch refresh projects that pair same-model appliances for active-passive warm spare continuity. Teams standardize on the hardware-only SKU, then plan MX Small licensing, warranty coverage, accessory checks, and staged deployment separately. The 100W DC power adapter, two PoE Plus ports, and ten total LAN ports support replacement of older small-site appliances without redesigning every local handoff. Refurbished stock validation adds serial review, factory reset, interface testing, and condition checks before dispatch for predictable spare pool governance and rollout tracking.

The MX68-HW worked well as a same-model spare for an existing small-branch Meraki deployment.
MX68-HW is the Cisco Meraki MX68 hardware security and SD-WAN appliance for small branch networks. It provides cloud-managed firewalling, WAN failover, Auto VPN, content filtering, AMP malware protection, IDS/IPS, Syslog, NetFlow, and remote packet capture. The SKU is hardware only, so Meraki MX licensing is purchased separately for Dashboard management and service entitlement.
The MX68-HW model number identifies the base Cisco Meraki MX68 appliance hardware, not a wireless model, cellular model, subscription bundle, or renewal. Cisco maps MX68-HW to the MX Small licensing class, which uses LIC-MX-S subscription licensing. That distinction matters because the appliance and Meraki license remain separate order items unless a bundle SKU states otherwise.
MX68-HW is a hardware security appliance in the Cisco Meraki MX Security and SD-WAN family. It performs routing and SD-WAN functions, but the product role is firewall, unified threat management, VPN, and small-branch edge security. That makes it appropriate for firewall SKU processing rather than router, switch, access point, power supply, or accessory content.
MX68-HW sits in the small-branch part of the Cisco Meraki MX family, above compact MX67 hardware for port density and below larger models such as MX75 for throughput and scale. It is aimed at small networks that need cloud-managed security, SD-WAN, local Ethernet aggregation, and limited PoE Plus output in one appliance.
Cisco's current MX 19.1x sizing data lists MX68-HW firewall throughput at 700 Mbps using RFC2544 1518-byte testing and 700 Mbps using EMIX testing. Real deployment performance depends on firmware, enabled services, traffic mix, and policy design, so sizing should include security features, VPN requirements, and expected client load.
Cisco lists MX68-HW NGFW throughput at 400 Mbps for detection and 300 Mbps for prevention under current MX 19.1x sizing guidance. Those figures relate to threat inspection features such as IDS/IPS and malware protection. Production planning should account for inspection mode, traffic profile, and the security license features enabled in Meraki Dashboard.
MX68-HW supports up to 25,000 concurrent sessions according to Cisco Meraki sizing guidance for the MX67 and MX68 class. That capacity fits the documented small-branch sizing profile of 50 recommended devices. Session planning should still consider application mix, NAT behavior, VPN usage, and whether Advanced Security services are active.
MX68-HW is listed with 400 Mbps VPN throughput under RFC2544 1400-byte testing and 300 Mbps under EMIX testing. The same sizing guidance lists 50 site-to-site VPN tunnels, 50 client VPN tunnels, and 100 Cisco Secure Client AnyConnect sessions. These limits support small branch connectivity and remote access planning.
MX68-HW includes two dedicated 1G RJ-45 WAN ports, eight dedicated 1G RJ-45 LAN ports, two 1G RJ-45 LAN ports with PoE Plus output, and one USB 2.0 port. The appliance is a fixed desktop platform, so it does not include modular network slots or removable interface cards.
MX68-HW is managed through the Cisco Meraki Dashboard rather than a traditional local firewall console. Dashboard management covers configuration templates, firmware handling, monitoring, alerting, packet capture, traffic analytics, client visibility, content filtering, VPN settings, and security policy. A valid Meraki MX subscription is required for cloud management and entitlement.
The main use case for MX68-HW is a small branch firewall that combines internet-edge security, SD-WAN, VPN, local wired connectivity, and limited PoE Plus in a compact appliance. It is suited to sites that need more local Ethernet ports than MX67 hardware while keeping centralized Meraki Dashboard operations.
Cisco Meraki sizing guidance places MX68-HW in the 50 recommended device class, with firewall throughput listed at 700 Mbps and concurrent sessions listed at 25,000. It is generally selected for small branches, compact offices, and distributed sites where Dashboard templates, Auto VPN, and centralized security policy matter.
MX68-HW is suitable for a branch perimeter firewall when the expected traffic, user count, and VPN scale fit the MX67 and MX68 sizing class. It provides WAN connectivity, LAN segmentation, firewall policy, threat protection with the right license, and Auto VPN. Larger locations should compare higher MX models before ordering.
MX68-HW includes two 1G RJ-45 LAN ports with PoE Plus output rated up to 30W per port. That design supports limited powered-device connectivity at the firewall edge, such as a small number of access points or handoff devices. Sites with larger powered access needs should pair the firewall with an access switch.
Cisco maps MX68-HW to the MX Small license class. The related subscription SKU family is LIC-MX-S, with Essentials or Advanced Security tiers depending on required features. The appliance hardware SKU does not include the subscription by default, so license term and tier should be checked before purchase.
MX68-HW does not include integrated Wi-Fi. It is the base wired MX68 hardware appliance. Buyers that need an integrated wireless access point should compare MX68W hardware instead, while buyers that need separate enterprise Wi-Fi coverage often deploy Meraki MR access points alongside the MX68 firewall.
MX68-HW does not include embedded cellular hardware. The cellular variant is the MX68CW family, with regional SKUs for supported markets. Cisco also states that third-party USB modem support was fully deprecated on June 30, 2026, so current cellular planning should use supported cellular models or external WAN services.
MX68-HW supports Cisco Meraki warm spare high availability when deployed as a same-model active-passive pair. Meraki documentation describes MX warm spare as a VRRP-based design where a spare appliance assumes traffic forwarding after failure. License handling for a warm spare pair should be verified under the selected Meraki licensing model.
MX68-HW and MX67-HW share the same general small-branch throughput and scale class, including 700 Mbps firewall throughput and 25,000 concurrent sessions. MX68-HW adds higher LAN density with eight standard LAN ports and two PoE Plus LAN ports, while MX67-HW is the more compact non-PoE hardware option.
MX68-HW is the wired base appliance, while MX68W adds integrated wireless capability for sites that want firewall and Wi-Fi in one chassis. The base MX68-HW is preferred when wireless coverage is handled by separate access points or when the branch standard requires a wired-only security appliance.
MX68-HW is the wired base appliance without embedded cellular hardware. MX68CW variants add cellular capability for regions where those models are supported. Buyers comparing the models should verify WAN design, cellular availability, licensing, and antenna or carrier requirements before choosing between base MX68 hardware and a cellular-enabled MX68CW SKU.
MX68-HW is aimed at small branches with a 700 Mbps firewall throughput class and 50 recommended devices. MX75-HW is a higher-capacity model for larger branches or heavier inspection needs. Buyers comparing MX68-HW versus MX75-HW should review throughput, VPN scale, port requirements, licensing class, and expected growth.
MX68-HW is commonly requested in new condition for branch rollouts, standardized refreshes, and replacement programs. Availability depends on distributor stock, region, and Cisco Meraki lifecycle status at the time of quoting. ORM Systems checks requested condition, serial status, accessories, lead time, and license requirements before confirming an order.
Refurbished MX68-HW stock is often requested when buyers need cost control, spare appliances, or fast replacement for existing Meraki MX deployments. Refurbished units should be factory reset, serial checked, power tested, and interface tested before shipment. License eligibility and Dashboard organization status should also be reviewed before deployment.
MX68-HW price depends on condition, stock level, region, quantity, accessories, warranty handling, and whether related Meraki licensing is quoted at the same time. Refurbished pricing differs from new pricing because availability and test history matter. ORM Systems provides quote-based pricing so buyers receive current availability and matching license guidance.
MX68-HW lead time depends on new or refurbished condition, quantity, warehouse location, and shipping destination. Single-unit replacement orders often follow available stock, while multi-site rollouts require inventory checks and staged dispatch planning. ORM Systems confirms current lead time during the quote process before committing to delivery expectations.
Bulk discounts for MX68-HW depend on requested quantity, condition mix, sourcing channel, and whether related accessories or licenses are included. Multi-site refreshes, spare pools, and standardized branch deployments may qualify for better unit pricing. ORM Systems reviews the bill of materials and returns current pricing based on available stock.
Warranty options for MX68-HW depend on whether the unit is sourced new or refurbished and which commercial warranty terms are available at the time of order. ORM Systems offers up to three-year warranty options on eligible new and refurbished hardware, with exact coverage confirmed in the quotation and invoice documentation.
Refurbished MX68-HW units should be inspected for chassis condition, powered on, reset, and checked across WAN, LAN, PoE Plus, and USB interfaces before dispatch. Serial and license-state review is important because Meraki Dashboard claiming depends on device status. ORM Systems validates the appliance condition before quoting or shipping refurbished stock.
Compliance details for MX68-HW should be confirmed from the official Cisco Meraki datasheet and regional documentation before deployment. Firewall buyers often check safety, EMC, power, environmental limits, and import requirements. Exact certification status may vary by region, model variant, and documentation revision, so current Cisco documentation should remain the source of record.
Before configuring MX68-HW, deployment teams should confirm Dashboard organization access, license availability, WAN circuits, public IP addressing, VLAN design, DHCP scope, DNS settings, VPN topology, security policy, content filtering needs, and PoE Plus device requirements. A clear preconfiguration checklist reduces onsite time and supports repeatable branch firewall deployments.
MX68-HW is a hardware-only SKU and does not include a Meraki license by default. The appliance requires an active MX subscription for Dashboard management and service entitlement. Buyers should order the correct MX Small license tier and term, such as Essentials or Advanced Security, according to required firewall and security features.
Cisco Meraki documentation lists the MX68 package contents as the appliance, a power adapter, two CAT5e Ethernet cables, and no power cable. Accessory contents should be verified when buying refurbished hardware because prior deployments may have missing adapters or cables. ORM Systems confirms included components during stock checks and quoting.
UK buyers purchase MX68-HW through authorized Cisco Meraki channels, specialist IT hardware suppliers, or refurbished enterprise hardware providers depending on required condition and lead time. ORM Systems supports quote-based sourcing for new and refurbished MX68-HW units, with availability, warranty, accessories, and licensing requirements reviewed before order confirmation.
International availability for MX68-HW depends on stock location, export restrictions, destination country, power accessory requirements, and carrier handling. Buyers should verify regional suitability, licensing requirements, and import obligations before deployment. ORM Systems reviews shipment details during quotation for new and refurbished firewall hardware so fulfillment expectations stay clear.
