Cisco Meraki CW9162I-MR Cloud-Managed Access Point, Unclaimed, Wi-Fi 6E Tri-Band Indoor, Factory Sealed

Cisco CW9162I-B / CW9162I-MR (Wi-Fi 6E Indoor Access Point) The Cisco Catalyst CW9162 series (CW9162I-B and CW9162I-MR) is a high-performance enterprise indoor Wi-Fi 6E access point designed for modern high-density wireless environments. It supports tri-band operation (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) and delivers improved capacity, lower latency, and higher throughput using the latest IEEE 802.11ax standard with 6 GHz spectrum expansion. This access point features a 2x2:2 MU-MIMO radio design per band, enabling simultaneous multi-user communication across all three frequency bands. It is equipped with integrated omnidirectional internal antennas, optimized for ceiling or wall mounting to provide consistent 360° indoor coverage. The CW9162 series supports advanced enterprise wireless features such as OFDMA, beamforming, Target Wake Time (TWT), and BSS coloring, improving efficiency in environments with many connected devices. It also includes a dedicated scanning radio for continuous RF monitoring, wireless intrusion detection (WIDS/WIPS), and spectrum analysis without impacting client traffic. Designed for flexible deployment, the CW9162 can be managed either through Cisco Catalyst controllers or the Meraki cloud dashboard (depending on SKU: -B or -MR), making it suitable for hybrid network environments and future migration strategies. Powered via PoE+ (802.3at) or optional DC adapter, it connects through a 2.5 GbE multigigabit Ethernet port, ensuring sufficient wired backhaul for high wireless throughput demands. Its compact, enterprise-grade design makes it ideal for offices, campuses, healthcare, education, and hospitality deployments requiring reliable Wi-Fi 6E performance.
