Grandstream GWN7062E Wi-Fi 6 Router, AX3000, 3 x GigE, Mesh Ready

Overview

The Grandstream GWN7062E is a Wi-Fi 6 router for a home, home office or small shop that wants a business-brand router it can watch from a phone, with room to add mesh points later. It gives AX3000-class dual-band Wi-Fi, three Gigabit ports that can take a second internet line, parental controls and a VPN, and it pairs with other GWN mesh nodes to cover larger places.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a home, home office or small shop with up to 128 Wi-Fi devices and a floor area of about 120 m².
• Larger homes or offices add mesh nodes (GWN7062E, GWN7062ET, GWN7062M or the plug-in GWN7660EM), up to 16 in all.
• It has no USB port and no phone (FXS) ports; the GWN7062ET adds both, for places that also want two analogue desk phones.
• For fibre or multi-gigabit broadband and a faster wired link to a NAS or PC, see the GWN7062M with its 2.5 Gbps ports.

• Mesh with up to 16 nodes using the GWN7062E, GWN7062ET, GWN7062M and the plug-in GWN7660EM, so coverage can grow room by room.
