Grandstream GWN7605CLR Outdoor Wi-Fi 5 Access Point, IP66, PoE or 12 to 24 V DC

Overview

The Grandstream GWN7605CLR is a compact outdoor Wi-Fi access point for poles, gates, kiosks, courtyards and car parks, including spots that already carry a low-voltage supply for a CCTV camera or a solar set-up. It is a Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) unit in a smaller IP66 housing than the GWN7605LR, with two internal antennas, and its screw-terminal (Phoenix) power input accepts 12 to 24 V DC as well as standard Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Is it right for you?

• Choose it for a pole, gate or kiosk where a 12 to 24 V DC supply already exists, or where a compact body matters more than range.
• Coverage is 150 m, lower than the 250 m of the GWN7605LR, which has detachable external antennas.
• For an indoor ceiling unit on the same radio platform, see the GWN7605.
• It works from -30 to 60 °C.

Key features

• IP66 weatherproof rating, so rain and dust do not get in.
• Power from 802.3af or 802.3at PoE, or from 12 to 24 V DC through the Phoenix connector.
• 2×2 dual-band MU-MIMO (multi-user multiple input, multiple output), 1.27 Gbps combined wireless rate, 100+ concurrent devices.
• Up to 150 m coverage with two internal 4 dBi antennas.
• Mesh, bridge mode, captive portal, PPSK (private pre-shared keys, a personal Wi-Fi password per user) and WPA3.
• 2 Gigabit ports, one with PoE input.
• 10 W maximum draw. Body of 180 x 107 x 45 mm and 368 g.

What else you need

• Either an 802.3af or 802.3at PoE switch or injector, or a 12 to 24 V DC supply wired to the Phoenix connector. No power adapter is in the box.
• Outdoor-rated network cable from the switch to the unit.
• A pole or wall to mount it on.

Installation

Mount it on a pole or wall with the kit in the box. Use outdoor-rated cable and seal any unused ports. A network installer or electrician should fit it, especially when wiring the DC input.

Software and licences

Set it up from its own web interface, which also works as a controller for up to 50 GWN access points on the same network. For several buildings or remote management, use GDMS Networking (Grandstream Device Management System, a cloud service) or GWN Manager (software you run on your own server). Grandstream offers both at no charge, and no licence is needed. It can also be managed through the GWN app, TR-069 and SNMP.

Before you buy

• Coverage (150 m) is lower than the GWN7605LR (250 m), traded for a compact body with internal antennas.
• No power adapter is in the box: plan PoE or a 12 to 24 V DC supply.
• Seal unused ports after installation.
