No problem @Maccaa31 I am sure this would work for you, as worked for me Answering your question, the MPLS should go to the internet port(1 or 2) on both MX devices (look at the diagram).The MX devices will treat it as an internet link, as long as you are allowing the Meraki cloud IPs from the MPLS. Technically you would be cheating the MX devices to think this is an internet link. Do not forget to allow ICMPs to Google 8.8.8.8

I've had this issues at home on my MX running older firmware, I mianly notice it blocks Steam downloads. The first time it happened I spent a good hour trying to work out what was wrong.

I was looking for the same thing and cannot locate the client's connected data rate. I don't know if this changed since your previous posts but its not there now. The "Capabilities" column only shows 2.4 or 5 GHz. In other words, it only displays the client's capabilities...not what they are actually connected at. Is there somewhere else this information can be seen?

Yes, all correct, regardless of MX or Z model, if there is a cellular wireless wan backup (either USB dongle or integrated cellular) and there is no WAN/Internet connectivity via the WAN interface(s) on the MX/Z then the cellular will be leveraged for all traffic including AutoVPN tunnels, automatically. And if you happen to have an MX or Z with embedded cellular, the units still have USB ports, and can still use an external USB cellular dongle, which would override the embedded one. That is, there's only one active cellular link, so if you've got an MX68CW for example, and both WAN1 and WAN2 are down, you either have the integrated cellular OR a USB dongle as a tertiary backup. You cannot use integrated cellular as a tertiary backup plus a USB cellular dongle as quaternary backup, or vice-versa.

One other thing to note, the MX 250s run better on the 14 code. I know it is beta, but I think that train got started to better support the MX 250/450 line.

I do have a ticket open.

In addition to the input from @PhilipDAth also make sure everything is good with your firewall rules. In particular, the MX appliances on both sides will need outbound UDP 9350 to talk to the VPN Registry.
