Chapter 2: Installation Process

Step 1: Unboxing and Connecting Hardware

Begin by unboxing the MX65W Wireless Appliance and carefully inspecting it for any visible damage. Once you are satisfied with its condition, connect the device to a power source using the provided power adapter. Make sure you have a stable power supply to avoid any interruptions during the installation process.

Step 2: Connecting to the Network

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the MX65W's WAN port and the other end to your internet source. This can be a modem or a router depending on your network setup. Ensure a secure connection by firmly plugging the cable into the designated ports.

Step 3: Configuring the MX65W

Power on the MX65W Wireless Appliance. Wait for it to boot up completely. Once it's ready, open a web browser and access the Meraki Dashboard by entering the provided URL and using your username and password.
