About the CW9166D1-MR
Internal directional antennas are the defining feature of the CW9166D1-MR, a tri-band 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6E) indoor access point with three 4×4 radios, one each on 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz. Its aggregate frame rate is 7.78 Gbps, and it is managed from the Meraki Dashboard.
The optional CW-MNT-ART2-00 articulating arm fits it, and the AIR-AP-BRACKET-2 bracket is included. It mounts on a desk, ceiling, wall or pole.
Its RJ-45 uplink runs at 1G, 2.5G or 5G. Power is 802.3at PoE+ at 25 W with USB off, 802.3bt / UPOE at 30.5 W with USB on, or a 54 V DC adapter. The MA-PWR-50WAC and MA-INJ-6 fit it, as do the AIR-PWRINJ6 and AIR-PWRINJ7 injectors.
