Is Cygnik an authorized Cisco reseller in Canada?

Yes. Cygnik Tech is an authorized Cisco and Cisco Meraki reseller, listed and verifiable on Cisco's official Partner Locator. We serve businesses across Canada, shipping nationwide from Ontario and BC warehouses with CAD pricing.

Do Meraki devices need a license?

Yes. Meraki MX, MS and CW hardware requires an active subscription license to operate. Cygnik attaches the correct license to each device automatically — for example Wi-Fi 7 access points use the new LIC-CW-E class, not the legacy LIC-ENT.

Do Cisco Catalyst 1200/1300 switches need a subscription?

No. Catalyst 1200 and 1300 switches include a perpetual right-to-use license in the hardware, so there is no recurring Meraki subscription required.

Does Cygnik price and ship in Canada?

Yes. All pricing is in Canadian dollars (CAD). Hardware ships from Ontario and BC across Canada; Cisco lead times vary by item. License keys are delivered within 2–3 business days.

Cisco Meraki MX Firewall Comparison: MX67 to MX95 (Canada)

The Meraki MX line scales by office size and throughput, from the MX67 for small offices up to the MX95 for large sites. Every MX needs an Enterprise (or Advanced Security) license; Cygnik attaches the right one. Compare live CAD pricing and the matching license below.

How to size an MX

Pick by the number of users behind the firewall and the WAN speed you need to inspect. Smaller models (MX67/MX68) suit single small offices; the mid-range (MX75/MX85) covers growing branches with multi-gig WAN; the MX95 handles large sites. Every model runs the same Meraki dashboard, SD-WAN and security stack — the difference is capacity, ports and PoE, not features.

MX67 vs MX68

The MX67 and MX68 are the small-office workhorses. The practical difference is LAN: the MX68 adds PoE+ ports to power an access point or phone directly, where the MX67 does not. If you need to power a device off the firewall, choose the MX68.

The successor question (avoid an end-of-sale buy)

Cisco's newer Secure Routers (the C8100-series running Meraki MX-OS) are positioned as the forward path for the small-office MX67/MX68 class and use the same MX-class licenses. If you're standardizing for the long term, ask us about the MX-OS option — Cygnik only sells current-generation gear, so you won't accidentally buy an end-of-sale model.

Frequently asked questions

Which MX do I need for my office?

Size by users and WAN speed: MX67/MX68 for small single offices, MX75/MX85 for growing multi-gig branches, MX95 for large sites. All run the same security and SD-WAN feature set.

MX67 vs MX68 — what's the real difference?

The MX68 adds PoE+ LAN ports so it can power an access point or phone directly; the MX67 cannot. Otherwise they're the same small-office class and use their respective Enterprise licenses.

Do I need the Advanced Security license?

The Enterprise license covers core firewall, VPN and SD-WAN. Advanced Security adds the content-filtering, IDS/IPS and AMP malware protection layer. Choose Advanced Security if you need those controls.

Is the MX67 going end-of-sale?

Cygnik sells current-generation gear only. For long-term standardization we can quote the Cisco MX-OS Secure Router path, which uses the same MX-class licensing — ask us.
