About the Cisco Catalyst 9178I Wi-Fi 7 Access Point

The Cisco Catalyst 9178I (part number C9178I-MR) is an indoor Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) access point. It operates across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands, supports 320 MHz channel bandwidth and is rated for a maximum data rate of 19 Gbps. Wired connectivity is through two 10GbE RJ45 Ethernet ports, and the unit uses internal multi-band antennas.

Security features include WPA3, 802.1X and role-based access control. The access point can be managed through Cisco DNA Center and Cisco Catalyst Center. Maximum power consumption is 80 W, and the operating temperature range is 0–40°C.

It is designed for indoor enterprise wireless networks, such as offices, campuses and other facilities, where centrally managed Wi-Fi 7 coverage is connected to a 10GbE wired infrastructure.
