Wireless Access Point Cisco Catalyst 9164I Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth, 1GbE & 2.5GbE, 2.4/5/6 GHz, Cloud‑Managed (Refurbished)

The Cisco Catalyst 9164I is a cloud‑managed wireless access point that supports Wi‑Fi 6E with tri‑band operation across 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz and includes integrated Bluetooth. Designed for enterprise environments, it provides upgraded spectrum capacity to support higher client density and modern applications. This listing is for a refurbished unit and delivers wired uplink flexibility with both 1GbE and 2.5GbE interfaces to match existing network links and future performance needs.

Advantages

The Catalyst 9164I offers tri‑band Wi‑Fi 6E performance to reduce congestion and enable higher aggregate throughput by leveraging the 6 GHz band in addition to 2.4 and 5 GHz. Integrated Bluetooth supports location services and simple IoT connectivity while dual wired ports (1GbE and 2.5GbE) provide flexible uplink options. Cloud management simplifies deployment, monitoring and firmware updates across multiple sites, and enterprise‑grade security and RF features maintain stable connectivity in dense deployments.

Suitable for

• Office spaces and meeting rooms requiring reliable, multi‑band wireless coverage
• Educational institutions with high device density and mixed traffic types
• Public venues and retail environments where additional 6 GHz capacity reduces interference
• Environments needing Bluetooth for asset tracking, wayfinding or simple IoT integrations
• Organisations that prefer cloud‑managed networking for centralised control and visibility

When it may not be suitable

This refurbished access point is intended for organisations that accept certified pre‑owned hardware; it may not be suitable where only brand‑new warranty coverage is required. Environments with exclusively legacy client devices that do not support Wi‑Fi 6 or 6E will not benefit fully from the 6 GHz band and advanced OFDMA/MU‑MIMO features.

Key specifications

• Wireless standard: Wi‑Fi 6E (tri‑band: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz)
• Bluetooth: Integrated Bluetooth radio for BLE services
• Ethernet uplinks: 1 GbE and 2.5 GbE wired interfaces
• Management: Cloud‑managed platform support for central provisioning and monitoring
• Form factor: Ceiling/flat‑surface mountable indoor access point
• Target use: Enterprise‑grade connectivity for high‑density deployments

How to use

Mount the access point on a ceiling or flat surface in a central location for optimal coverage and connect it to your wired network using either the 1GbE or 2.5GbE uplink port. Adopt and configure the device through the supported cloud management console to apply site‑wide policies, SSIDs and security settings. Use the management tools to monitor RF conditions, client associations and firmware updates; enable Bluetooth features where location or IoT services are required. Confirm local regulatory support for 6 GHz operation before enabling the 6 GHz radio.

What to consider before purchase

• This listing is for a refurbished unit—verify the refurbishment warranty and return policy
• Check local regulatory rules for 6 GHz band availability and device certification
• Ensure client devices support Wi‑Fi 6/6E to take full advantage of the 6 GHz band
• Plan uplink capacity and PoE power availability based on deployment topology
• Confirm compatibility with your cloud management subscription or controller platform

Usage recommendations

For best results in high‑density areas, distribute multiple access points according to a site survey, use the 6 GHz band for latency‑sensitive traffic where permitted, and enable cloud monitoring to proactively manage performance and firmware lifecycle.
