• For Wi-Fi 6 with 256 devices, the GWN7660E is the step up.
• It is an indoor unit rated for 0 to 40 °C.

• 2 Gigabit ports.
• Runs on 802.3af or 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE), drawing up to 12.5 W.

What else you need

• An 802.3af or 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or injector; no power adapter is in the box.
• A network cable from the switch to the mounting point.

Installation

Mount it on a ceiling or wall with the kit in the box and connect the network cable. It has a Kensington lock slot. A network installer or your IT support can fit it and adopt it into the controller.

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.

Before you buy

• It works on 802.3af PoE, so standard PoE switches can power it.
• No power adapter is in the box, so plan a PoE switch or injector.
