Grandstream GWN7664ELR Outdoor Wi-Fi 6 Access Point, AX6000, IP68, SFP

Overview

The Grandstream GWN7664ELR is an outdoor Wi-Fi 6 access point for places with many users in the open: stadiums, campuses, ports, logistics yards and resorts. It is the outdoor long-range version of the GWN7664E, with the same 4×4 radios on both bands in an IP68 weatherproof housing, and it connects over a 2.5 Gigabit copper port or a 2.5G fibre (SFP) port.

Is it right for you?

• It suits open areas and long distances, with coverage up to 300 m and up to 512 devices.
• It is weatherproof (IP68) and works from -30 to 60 °C, so it can be fixed to a wall or pole outside.
• If you want the same capacity indoors, the GWN7664E is the indoor version.
• If you need a lighter outdoor unit with 2×2 radios, the GWN7660ELR is the alternative.

Key features

• Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with 4×4:4 radios on both bands: 2.4 GHz up to 1,147 Mbps and 5 GHz up to 4,804 Mbps, about 6 Gbps combined (AX6000), with 160 MHz channels on 5 GHz.
• Multi-user MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) with OFDMA (orthogonal frequency-division multiple access) for many devices at once.
• Up to 512 connected devices and up to 300 m coverage.
• One 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 port and one 2.5G SFP (small form-factor pluggable) fibre port.
• IP68 housing (dust tight and protected against immersion) rated -30 to 60 °C.
• Eight internal antennas: 5.5 dBi on 2.4 GHz and 6.5 dBi on 5 GHz.
• Wall or pole bracket that adjusts and rotates by 60 degrees; 260 x 310 x 59 mm, 1.445 kg.

What else you need

An 802.3at PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) switch port or injector able to supply 24 W on the RJ45 port. The SFP port needs an SFP module, which is not included, and PoE+ is still needed on the RJ45 port for power even when the data runs over fibre. Management is built in.

Installation

Mounts on a wall or pole with the supplied kit. Use outdoor-rated network cable and surge protection on the cable run. A network installer can fit it and set it up from the web interface.

Software and licences

The web interface has an embedded controller that can manage up to 50 GWN access points on the same network, so a single office or building needs no separate controller. For several buildings or remote support, GDMS Networking (Grandstream Device Management System, in the cloud) or GWN Manager (software on your own server) manage it centrally. Both are offered at no charge, and there is no licence to buy.

Before you buy

• Needs 802.3at PoE+ power at up to 24 W on the RJ45 port.
• SFP module not included.
• Bluetooth is not stated by the manufacturer for this model.
• Dual band only: no 6 GHz radio.
