Cisco Meraki Catalyst 9164 CW9164I Wi-Fi 6E Tri-Band Wireless Access Point, CW9164I-MR

Cisco Meraki Catalyst CW9164I Tri Band IEEE 802.11ax 7.49 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point

High-Performance Wi-Fi 6E Wireless Connectivity

The Cisco Meraki Catalyst 9164 CW9164I wireless access point delivers secure, high-capacity tri-band connectivity for modern enterprise networks. Designed for Wi-Fi 6E and 802.11ax environments, it uses the expanded 6 GHz band to provide higher throughput, increased capacity, improved reliability, and reduced interference. The access point combines one 2x2:2 radio and two 4x4:4 radios with a 7.49 Gbps aggregate frame rate to support demanding users, applications, and connected devices.

Flexible Cloud or On-Premises Management

The Cisco Meraki Catalyst 9164 supports flexible deployment through Cisco Meraki cloud management, Cisco DNA Center, and Catalyst 9800 Wireless LAN Controller environments. Organizations can monitor and manage network performance, automate optimization, apply security and segmentation policies, and maintain consistent configurations across sites. Cisco Meraki integration also supports advanced capabilities such as Meraki Health intelligent assurance, Cisco DNA Spaces, Cisco Identity Services Engine, Meraki Vision, and IoT monitoring solutions. Management can be transitioned between cloud-based and on-premises platforms without replacing the access point hardware.

Integrated Security and Location Services

Dedicated radios provide continuous wireless intrusion detection and prevention, spectrum analytics, and full-time Wi-Fi location tracking without compromising client connectivity. Integrated enterprise security, guest access, application-aware traffic shaping, and enhanced transmit power and receive sensitivity help create a dependable wireless experience. The internal antenna design and plate-mountable form factor support discreet installation in offices, campuses, hospitality environments, healthcare facilities, and other high-density deployments. A 2.5 Gbps mGig Ethernet port enables high-speed wired uplink, while the USB 2.0 Type-A host interface supports additional connectivity options with a 4.5-watt power budget. The CW9164I-MR includes two security screws and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty with advanced replacement.
