Figures from Cisco's official data sheet.

The Cisco Meraki in depth

5G cellular WAN for any router

The Meraki MG51E converts 5G and LTE signal into an Ethernet handoff that can serve as a primary or backup internet uplink for a Meraki MX or a non-Meraki router. Its CAT20 modem reaches up to 2 Gbps down and 300 Mbps up, with dual SIM failover and two 2.5 GbE ports.

Built for placement where signal is best

The IP67 housing, -40°C to 50°C rating and PoE power let you mount the MG51E where cellular coverage is strongest rather than next to the firewall. Four external smart dipole antennas are included, with an optional Meraki patch antenna pair.

End-of-sale and replacement

Cisco Meraki announced the end-of-sale of the MG51E-HW on 30 May 2025; the end-of-sale date was 28 November 2025 and support continues until 30 May 2030. Meraki names the MG52E, which adds 5G Standalone support, as the functionally equivalent replacement.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Cisco Meraki announced the end-of-sale on 30 May 2025, with an end-of-sale date of 28 November 2025 and end-of-support on 30 May 2030. Meraki names the MG52E-HW as the replacement.

Yes. Every Meraki hardware device requires a cloud licence to be managed. The MG51E uses the MG51 Enterprise licence and support, LIC-MG51-ENT-1Y, 3Y, 5Y, 7Y or 10Y.

Meraki lists RCM (ANZ, APAC) certification, and Telstra (AU) and Optus (AU) among the carriers that have certified the MG51/51E. Other carriers may also be compatible where bands match.

Meraki lists a maximum wireless data rate of 2 Gbps down and 300 Mbps up in passthrough mode, or 1.5 Gbps / 300 Mbps with NAT, over 5G NSA plus LTE CAT20.

By 802.3at PoE (48-57V DC) or a 12V DC power adapter, at 16W maximum. When both are connected the power adapter takes priority. The MG cannot supply PoE to other devices.
