Client Problem.

-Experiencing link throughput burst on MX84 ,internet and network slow down. Does not want to invest into new hardware but has 2 x Mx84 firewalls. would like to install the second MX84 firewall but not sure how i can make use of it to distribute traffic. See attached current network setup. Want to implement 2nd MX84 to avoid bandwidth burst on the installed MX84.Looking for the best solution to avoid bandwidth throttle on GW01.

There is a dedicated Meraki Community: https://community.meraki.com

It's more likely to get the needed help over there.

For your problem: The second MX needs to be added to it's own dashboard network and also needs it's own license. The upstream switch then needs to distribute the traffic to both MXs. You won't win a network design award with this but it will work.
