The Cisco CW9178I-CFG in depth

Four radios for the densest spaces

Redundant uplinks

Two 10G Multigigabit ports provide PoE and link redundancy. -CFG is Cisco's Configurable device category for Wi-Fi 7 APs, and the AP is global use with no regulatory domain part number.

Power planning

Meraki lists 60W power reservation and 802.3bt for full operation. On 802.3at the AP runs 2x2 radios at 2.5G with USB off.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about the Cisco CW9178I-CFG from the ARC IP Networks team. Last reviewed October 2026.

802.3bt (Class 6) for full operation: 4x4 on all four radios, 2x 10G and USB, up to 47W. On 802.3at PoE+ it runs 2x2 radios at 2.5G with USB off (25.5W).

Cisco's ordering guide lists two device categories for Wi-Fi 7 APs: RTG (Ready to go, fastest shipment with default choices) and CFG (Configurable, with customisable accessories and packaging such as mounting bracket and ceiling clip options). The access point hardware is the same model.

Yes. Cisco states that Wi-Fi 7 access points are global use access points: no regulatory domain code is needed, and the AP determines its physical locality on install. Meraki lists AS/NZS 4268 (Australia/NZ) among its radio approvals.

Yes. Cisco Wi-Fi 7 access points require a Cisco Networking Subscription (Cisco Wireless Essentials or Advantage), or Meraki co-term licensing for cloud-only use; Cisco's ordering guide also offers an opt-out hardware-only choice at order time.
