FAQs
Is the CW9172H backward-compatible with older Wi-Fi devices?
Yes. The access point supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax standards, so legacy clients can connect alongside the latest Wi-Fi 7 devices without issues.
What license do I need to manage the CW9172H?
Each access point requires an active Cisco Meraki subscription or Catalyst license for cloud or on-prem management. Licenses are available in 1-, 3-, 5-, 7- and 10-year terms.
Can the LAN port provide PoE power to another device?
Yes. One of the three LAN ports can supply 802.3af PoE out when the CW9172H is powered via 802.3bt (or sufficient 802.3at) PoE in.
