Indoor Wi-Fi 6 Access Point
The Cisco Catalyst 9115AXI-R is an indoor wireless access point with internal antennas that delivers Wi-Fi 6 performance using 4x4 dual-radio MU-MIMO technology. It supports a data rate up to 5.38 Gbps and includes Bluetooth 5.0 for location-based services such as wayfinding and asset tracking. An embedded wireless controller simplifies deployment, monitoring and troubleshooting without a separate appliance. The unit ships with 2048 MB DRAM and 1024 MB flash memory.
Pre-installation Checklist
Verify that your network infrastructure provides a Gigabit Ethernet connection for the uplink and that Power over Ethernet is available to supply the access point. Confirm the mounting location suits the 8.0 by 8.0 by 1.5 inch form factor and 1.98 lb weight. Ensure the environment is indoors and within the operating temperature range specified by the manufacturer. Check that existing devices can use 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands to benefit from the new radio.
Upgrade Considerations
This access point replaces older indoor units that lack Wi-Fi 6, MU-MIMO or integrated Bluetooth Low Energy. The jump is worthwhile when higher client density, lower latency through OFDMA or improved device battery life via Target Wake Time are required. It also adds an embedded controller, removing the need for a separate hardware controller in small to medium deployments. Buyers who need outdoor-rated enclosures or external antenna connectors should consider other models.

Questions about this item
Does the Cisco Catalyst 9115AXI-R ship with a mounting bracket or PoE injector, or must those be purchased separately?
The unit includes the access point with internal antennas; mounting hardware and a PoE injector or switch are sold separately.
Is the C9115AXI-R the only capacity option for this Wi-Fi 6 indoor model?
Yes, this part number identifies the single 4x4 dual-radio configuration with 2048 MB DRAM and 1024 MB flash.
What does the 5.38 Gbps headline rate mean for actual throughput on a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network?
That figure is the combined PHY maximum across both radios; real-world throughput will be lower due to overhead, client mix and channel conditions.
