Figures from Cisco's official data sheet.

The Cisco CW9166D1-MR in depth

The 9166D1 for Meraki networks

The CW9166D1-MR is the cloud-managed part number of the Catalyst 9166D1; Cisco's ordering guide states -MR is ordered for cloud use and the -x regulatory part number for on-premises management. The D1 model uses a built-in directional antenna for high ceilings, removing the need for external antennas.

Flexible third radio

All three client radios are 4x4:4. Meraki's FAQ states the CW9166 ships in 2.4 GHz plus dual 5 GHz mode, with 6 GHz available in Radio Settings for regulatory domains that support it, doubling 5 GHz client capacity in the meantime.

Power and licensing

Meraki states all five radios run at full capacity on 802.3at PoE+, with USB enabled on 802.3bt. A Meraki access point licence is required.
