FAQs

Do I need a licence to operate the CW9162?

Yes. Every Meraki AP requires a cloud management licence. Choose between Enterprise or Advanced Security tiers to unlock the features you need.

Is the CW9162 compatible with Wi-Fi 6E client devices?

Absolutely. The 6 GHz radio is 802.11ax-compliant and ready for current and future Wi-Fi 6E laptops, phones and tablets.

Can I run the AP on standard PoE?

The device is optimised for 802.3at PoE+ (30 W). It can fall back to limited-feature mode on 802.3af, but full performance needs PoE+.

Is on-prem management (Catalyst 9800 / DNA Center) supported?

Yes. You can switch between Meraki cloud management and Catalyst controllers without replacing hardware.

What mounting options are included?

A universal bracket supports ceiling-tile, wall and desk installs, plus a Kensington-lock slot for physical security.
