Cisco Meraki CW9162 Wi-Fi 6E Access Points - Refurbished, Used, New

Best Selling

Cisco Meraki CW9162 access points are tri-band Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) indoor access points managed from the Meraki dashboard. The CW9162I-MR has internal omnidirectional antennas and a 2x2:2 radio on each of the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands, which makes it a fit for small offices, classrooms, clinics and branch sites that want 6 GHz capacity without a high-density access point. NetworkTigers sells the CW9162I-MR refurbished, used and new, with mounts included as the listing states. Every unit is tested before it ships, is not associated with any other organization's Meraki dashboard, and arrives ready to claim into yours. Quantities of 50 and more are usually available for Wi-Fi rollouts.

Which CW9162 do I need?

The CW9162I-MR is the right choice when you manage wireless from the Meraki dashboard and want Wi-Fi 6E in a room-sized or small-floor space: one access point per classroom, exam room, meeting room or small open office. Choose the CW9164 instead where client counts run higher or you need a 4x4 5 GHz radio for larger open areas. Before you order, confirm three things on the switch side: a PoE+ (802.3at) port per access point, because 802.3af will not run the unit at full capability; a multigigabit port if you want more than 1G to the access point, since the uplink negotiates at 2.5G; and client devices that support 6 GHz, because Wi-Fi 6 and older clients stay on 2.4 and 5 GHz. If your wireless runs on a Catalyst 9800 controller rather than the Meraki dashboard, use the Catalyst CW9162 collection linked above.

Frequently asked questions

What does "unclaimed" mean on a CW9162I-MR listing?
The unit is not associated with any other organization's Meraki dashboard. You add its serial number to your own organization and it pulls its configuration from the dashboard on first boot. Listings marked Registrable / Unclaimed can be claimed this way; a listing marked Local Management Only cannot, and that is stated on the product page. A Meraki license is required and is sold separately.

Can the CW9162I-MR be moved between Meraki and Cisco controller management?
The CW9162 hardware is built to run in either mode, but the units in this collection are sold in Meraki mode and we test them that way. If you need the unit for a Catalyst 9800 controller, buy from the Catalyst CW9162 collection so you get a unit tested in that mode.

Does Wi-Fi 6E need new cabling?
No. A single Cat5e or Cat6 run to the access point carries both power and data. Cat6 or better lets the 2.5G uplink negotiate at full speed on a multigigabit switch port.
