Cisco Meraki Catalyst 9166 CW9166I Wi-Fi 6E Wireless Access Point, CW9166I-MR

Cisco Meraki Catalyst CW9166I Tri Band IEEE 802.11ax 7.78 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point

The Cisco Meraki Catalyst 9166 CW9166I is a tri-band wireless access point designed for high-performance 802.11ax networking. It features three 4x4 radios, a 7.78 Gbps tri-radio aggregate frame rate, and support for the expanded 6-GHz band to help provide higher throughput, increased capacity, and reduced device interference. Internal antennas and a plate-mountable form factor support flexible deployment in enterprise environments.

The access point supports flexible cloud- and on-premises management. With Cisco Meraki cloud management, organizations can use the Meraki dashboard for network monitoring, policy and segmentation configuration, network optimization, and full-stack management. It also supports Cisco DNA Center and Catalyst 9800 WLC deployments, providing options for real-time analytics, automation, virtualization, and security monitoring.

Dedicated radios support 24x7 real-time wireless intrusion detection and prevention system (WIDS/WIPS) functions, spectrum analytics, and full-time Wi-Fi location tracking. Integrated Bluetooth Low Energy beacon and scanning capabilities extend connectivity options, while enterprise security, guest access, and application-aware traffic shaping help support managed wireless environments.

Connectivity includes a single 5 Gbps multigigabit Ethernet port and a USB 2.0 Type-A host interface with a 4.5-watt power budget. The package includes the Catalyst 9166 CW9166I Wireless Access Point and two security screws. The unit carries a limited lifetime warranty with advanced replacement and complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) requirements.
