Thanks for the great video. I am considering getting the MG21E and using a Google Fi SIM. I don't have a Google Fi account today, so the first SIM card I would get is voice and data. Would that work (vs. a "data-only SIM")?

Hey there! Unfortunately I don't have a voice & data SIM to test this with, since I use eSIM on my Fi phone. I do use a data-only for my MG21 though, and it's been great! Doing a bit of searching on the internet, it sounds like some people have had luck using a voice & data SIM in a modem, so long as you still have a phone to activate the SIM with. So it sounds like it might work, but I'm not 100% sure.

Does this boost cellular signal in a building with terrible cellular signal? I have an 11 story building that has terrible cellular coverage, and would love an option to boost cellular service on all floors. Is this something that this product could do?

Hey there! This product won't act as a cell booster / extender, unfortunately. This device only works as a cellular internet gateway, providing upstream internet to an existing network via LTE. Hope this helps!

How can we connect LTE cellular settings on MX68CW? Do we need a separate Cellular gateway device or it should work directly? I am not seeing Active Cellular settings on the MX68 device

Hi there, If you have a CW SKU, then there should be a cellular modem embedded in the MX. Any cellular settings for the embedded will be under the "Security & SD-WAN" menu. For example, you should be able to access the Cellular firewall rules by going to Security & SD-WAN > Configure > Firewall Unless you have an MG21, you will not see the dedicated "Cellular Gateway" menu in the dashboard. Hope that helps!!

Did you use a SIM without the need to enter a pin? How is the MG21 able to directly connect to the internet and meraki cloud (if APN is set correct) without the need to put any data like a PIN in?

Hi there! Yes, in my case I did not need to enter a SIM PIN. So all I needed to do was insert the SIM & enter the correct APN. If you needed to, the local MG management web UI does allow you to enter a PIN.

@@0x2142 Thanks! So a zero touch deployment would be possible if a) SIM without pin is used and b) the configured APN does fit the provider to be used!?

That's one way, yeah. I assume that if you used a SIM from a 1st tier provider (like ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile), then you might not have to configure a specific APN.. Since my Google Fi SIM does use T-Mobile, and that's what the MG21 recognized the SIM as. But of course, since Google Fi is a MVNO, I had to specifically provide their APN. It also looks like Meraki finally updated Dashboard to allow configuration of APN, etc. So if the MG was brought online & had internet connectivity through the ethernet port - it could still reach Dashboard & pull the configured APN/auth settings.

Great video man! Can it handle 5G SIM Cards?

Hi Erick, This model only supports 4G/LTE SIM cards with download speeds up to 300Mb/s. There is a newer MG41 model that supports 4G CAT 18 up to 1.2Gb/s. However, there is no current model that Meraki sells that supports 5G. I would assume something should be coming from them eventually (hopefully soon!) - but right now they do not have any 5G options available.
