Installation Instructions
4.1 Choose Your Mounting Location
A good mounting location is important to getting the best performance out of your CW9166I‐MR,
CW9164I‐MR access point. Keep the following in mind:
1. The device should have unobstructed line of sight to most coverage areas. For example, if
installing in an office filled with workspaces divided by mid‐height cubicle walls, installing on the
ceiling or high on a wall would be ideal.
2. Power over Ethernet supports a maximum cable length of 300 ft (100 m).
3. If being used in a mesh deployment, the CW9166I‐MR, CW9164I‐MR should have line of sight to at
least two other Meraki devices. For more detailed instructions regarding access point location
selection, reference the Meraki Network Design Guide
