MX + 5G

[EliseNemeth]

Hello,

I know we now have the 5G MGs available now, but if a customer prefers to use a non-Meraki product for a 5G cellular gateway i.e. CradlePoint or NetGear can they connect that to the MX via the USB port only or choose WAN port as well?

I don't think that there is any USB-5G Dongle supported. But connecting a 5G router (I often use the GigaCubes) to a WAN port works perfectly fine. But for manageability I would always prefer an MG.

Thanks for the response, so most likely the USB on the MX will NOT handle a 5G fixed wireless device BUT the MX could have a non-Meraki 5G fixed wireless device in the WAN1 port right?

Yes. The MX WAN port just wants an ethernet hand off.
