Our Comcast connection keeps dropping, and we don't have a cellular modem to use as backup. I do have a Verizon Jetpack which works. I was going to connect the Jetpack WiFi to a laptop, and then connect the laptop to the MX68 by connecting laptop's NIC card connected to MX WAN 2.
Would this work? Is this a crazy idea? I couldn't find anything in the forum.
Solved! Go to solution.
Yeh, as long as you enable connection sharing that should work.

ok, do I need to change any settings in the Meraki dashboard? Would it detect the WAN 2 and fail over automatically?
You'll need to convert one of the LAN ports to a WAN port in the local status page. Everything else should just work.
Sorry, ignore the convert the port comment. MX68 has 2 WAN ports. My bad.
ok, I'll try that.
