About the CW9166I-MR
The CW9166I-MR covers all three Wi-Fi 6E bands with 4×4 radios, one each on 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz. Its aggregate frame rate is 7.78 Gbps, its antennas are internal omni, and it is managed from the Meraki Dashboard.
Its RJ-45 uplink runs at 1G, 2.5G or 5G. On 802.3at PoE+ it draws 25 W with USB off; 802.3bt or UPOE at 30.5 W powers it with USB on, and a 54 V DC adapter is the alternative. The MA-PWR-50WAC adapter and the AIR-PWRINJ6, AIR-PWRINJ7 and MA-INJ-6 injectors fit it.
The AIR-AP-BRACKET-2 bracket is included, and AIR-AP-BRACKET-1 also fits. It mounts on a desk, ceiling, wall or pole, fits flush or recessed ceiling tile rails, and operates from 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C).
