Tri-band Wi-Fi 6E access point

The Cisco Catalyst CW9164I-B is an indoor wireless access point that operates on the 2.40 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. It delivers a 7.49 Gbit/s aggregate frame rate using IEEE 802.11ax with 2x2:2 and 4x4:4 MU-MIMO. A dedicated scanning radio provides 24x7 WIDS/WIPS and spectrum analytics. The unit includes a 2.5 Gbps mGig Ethernet port, a USB 2.0 Type-A host with a 4.5W budget and an integrated Bluetooth 5.1 beacon.

High-density environments needing 6 GHz spectrum

This access point suits offices, schools and venues that require tri-band capacity and a dedicated security radio for continuous threat detection. It is not for buyers who need multi-gig uplinks beyond 2.5 Gbps or deployments that require external antenna connectors. Installations without PoE+ infrastructure should look elsewhere because the device draws power from its single PoE PD port.

Single 2.5 Gbps Ethernet uplink

The product provides one 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port with PoE PD support as its only wired backhaul connection. This port determines the maximum wired throughput available to the tri-band radios and the USB 2.0 host interface. Networks that require link aggregation, redundant uplinks or 5 Gbps and higher switch ports cannot use this model without additional hardware.

Questions about this item

What ceiling or wall space is needed to mount the CW9164I-B?

The unit measures 2.2 inches high by 9.5 inches wide by 9.5 inches deep and weighs approximately 3.54 lb, so plan for at least that footprint on a flat surface or standard mounting bracket.

How is the CW9164I-B powered and what cabling step is often missed?

It draws power through its single 2.5 Gbps mGig RJ-45 port via PoE; the step people miss is confirming the switch or injector can deliver enough PoE budget for the AP plus any device plugged into the USB 2.0 Type A port with its 4.5 W budget.

Which component of the CW9164I-B is most likely to need replacement first?

The internal antennas and radios are sealed, so the only field-serviceable part is the USB 2.0 Type A port; if a connected peripheral fails, replace the peripheral rather than the access point.
