Meraki MX67W Network Security/Firewall Appliance

Experience enterprise‑grade security and seamless connectivity with the Meraki MX67W Network Security/Firewall Appliance. Engineered for distributed sites, campuses, and data‑center VPN concentration, this cloud‑managed gateway blends robust threat protection with adaptive SD‑WAN capabilities to deliver fast, reliable, and secure networks. The MX67W is designed to be deployed quickly, managed remotely, and scaled effortlessly across multiple locations through the Meraki Dashboard. By centralizing policy enforcement, updates, and monitoring in the cloud, IT teams gain real‑time visibility into network health, security events, and application performance without the need for on‑premises management overhead. Ideal for organizations pursuing Unified Threat Management (UTM) in a centralized, cloud‑driven model, the MX67W helps safeguard users and data while optimizing multi‑site traffic for cloud apps and SaaS workloads.

• The MX67W brings comprehensive security and UTM capabilities to distributed environments. It combines a next‑generation firewall with intrusion prevention, threat intelligence, and content filtering to defend against evolving threats at the network edge. Built for small to mid‑size deployments, it delivers robust protection for branch offices, campus gateways, and data‑center VPN concentration, ensuring that users stay productive while sensitive data remains safeguarded across all locations. With centralized policy control, all security settings, VPN rules, and access controls are consistently enforced from the Meraki Cloud, reducing the complexity and risk typically associated with multi‑site deployments.
• SD‑WAN and flexible connectivity are at the heart of the MX67W. The appliance intelligently routes traffic over multiple WAN connections, prioritizing critical applications and optimizing performance for cloud services, video calls, and file transfers. Automatic path selection and dynamic routing help maintain enterprise‑class reliability even when one WAN link becomes congested or fails. This capability not only improves user experience but also reduces reliance on traditional, static networking configurations. By leveraging SD‑WAN, organizations can streamline branch connectivity, lower bandwidth costs, and enhance resilience across the network fabric.
• Cloud‑based management and unified visibility set the MX67W apart. Because the device is 100% cloud managed, IT teams can deploy, configure, and monitor thousands of sites from a single dashboard. The Meraki Cloud provides real‑time dashboards, analytics, and alerts, enabling proactive security responses and performance tuning without on‑premises controllers. New features and threat intelligence are rolled out automatically, ensuring the network stays protected against the latest risks. This centralized model simplifies policy templating, standardizes configurations across locations, and accelerates incident response when security events occur.
• Designed for distributed sites, the MX67W is ideal for organizations with multiple branches, campuses, or remote workers connecting back to a central data center. It scales with your business, supporting numerous VPN concentrators and site‑to‑site tunnels while maintaining consistent security posture and policy enforcement. IT teams can extend the same security baseline to every location, guaranteeing uniform protections, access controls, and application performance. The appliance also integrates smoothly with existing Meraki MR access points and other Meraki devices, delivering a cohesive, end‑to‑end network security and management solution.
• Simple deployment, ongoing maintenance, and reliable operation define the user experience. The MX67W is built for zero‑touch provisioning and remote management, meaning new sites can come online quickly with minimal on‑site IT effort. Automatic firmware updates, security updates, and policy changes are delivered through the Meraki Cloud, reducing the time and cost typically required for manual upgrades. The device’s compact form factor and energy‑efficient design enable flexible installations in a variety of spaces, from small offices to larger campuses, while maintaining enterprise‑class security and reliability.

how to install Meraki MX67W

• Unbox the MX67W and locate the WAN and LAN ports, along with any optional USB or cellular interfaces supported by your configuration. Connect your primary Internet service to the WAN port and, if available, connect a secondary WAN link or cellular option to ensure SD‑WAN failover. Power the unit and place it in a secure, accessible networking area with adequate ventilation.
• Access the Meraki Dashboard by using a registered cloud account. The initial setup guides you through creating or selecting a network, naming the site, and assigning the MX67W to the correct location. This cloud‑driven process eliminates the need for on‑premises controllers and enables remote configuration from anywhere with an internet connection.
• Apply a baseline security and networking template tailored to your deployment. Configure firewall rules, VPN tunnels to other sites, and SD‑WAN policies that determine how traffic traverses multiple WAN paths. Take advantage of Meraki’s templates to standardize settings across many sites, ensuring consistent security posture and predictable behavior as you scale.
• Connect your internal LAN devices to the MX67W, then set up any required VPNs, site‑to‑site tunnels, and remote access rules. Validate connectivity to cloud services and verify that traffic is routing through the correct WAN links as defined by your SD‑WAN policies. Leverage Meraki’s built‑in troubleshooting tools to confirm health status, tunnel integrity, and policy enforcement across the network.
• Monitor and adjust from the Meraki Dashboard. Review security events, throughput metrics, VPN health, and application usage in real time. Schedule automatic updates, apply security patches, and refine policies as your organization evolves. The MX67W’s cloud‑centric approach ensures ongoing protection with minimal manual intervention, so you can focus on business priorities rather than firewall maintenance.
