Hi,

Can anyone confirm that the 9162 cannot be run as mobility express? The documentation is a little bit confusing.

 - The equivalent of Mobility Express on these AP's is EWC (Embedded Wireless Controller) :
    Ref : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/catalyst-9100ax-access-points/nb-06-802-11ax-faq-cte-en.html#CiscoCatalyst9100AccessPointsportfolio

Q.   What controller and management options are available for the Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points?
A.    The Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points can be managed by all Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers. In addition, the Catalyst 9100 Access Points (aside from the Catalyst 9136, 9162, 9164, 9166 and 9166D1, and outdoor 9163E APs) are supported by the Cisco 3504, 5520, and 8540 Wireless Controllers. Also, the Catalyst 9100 Access Points (aside from the Catalyst 9136, 9162, 9164, 9166 and 9166D1 APs) can run the Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC) and act as a controller.

Cisco has effectively discontinued Mobility Express and the successor EWC which applied to the WiFi 6 (AX) APs.
None of the new WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 APs support EWC so 9162 does not support EWC.

Refer to the release notes for the full table of EWC supported APs:
