MX67c Limited bandwidth

I have a few MX67C firewalls and it looks like they are limited to allow 350 MB of throughput. We now have 2G available to use through a local fiber provider and I would like take advantage of the greater bandwidth.  Can I upgrade my MX67c's to a higher throughput or if not,  what is the next step up from Meraki for a firewall that will allow 2G of data?

Hi!

 

 The MX67 throughput is limited when the Advance Security features are enabled. An alternative to increase the throughput might be disabling IDS/IPS, AMP and Content filtering rules.  Also if the traffic traverse a VPN tunnel the connection will slow down.

In order to get the full 2Gbps, you might need to change the MX for at least an MX95.
