Grandstream GWN7670LR Outdoor Long-Range Wi-Fi 7 Access Point/Bridge, SFP, IP66

Overview

The Grandstream GWN7670LR carries Wi-Fi 7 over a long distance outdoors, for warehouses, parks, school and hospital grounds and long building frontages, where one unit must cover distance. It is a long-range (LR) outdoor Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) access point with 2×2 radios on both bands that can switch between internal directional antennas and external omnidirectional ones, with a 2.5 Gigabit network port and a 2.5G SFP (small form-factor pluggable) fibre port. A point-to-multipoint wireless bridge mode is planned.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a yard, grounds or frontage where coverage must reach up to 350 m, aimed in one direction or spread all round.
• Choose it when you want switchable directional antennas and Bluetooth Low Energy; the GWN7670ELR is the other outdoor model in the same family.
• Do not buy it for a wireless bridge link yet: the point-to-multipoint bridge mode (1 to 3 clients, up to 1.5 km) is still pending, so treat it as a future firmware feature.
• It needs PoE+ (802.3at), not basic 802.3af PoE.
• It works from -30 to 60 °C.

Key features

• Wi-Fi 7 features: MLO (Multi-Link Operation), 4096-QAM, multi-RU (multiple resource units) and preamble puncturing, which together give Wi-Fi 7 devices faster and steadier connections.
• Up to 350 m coverage as an access point, 256 concurrent devices.
• Switchable antennas: internal directional (8 dBi on 2.4 GHz, 13.5 dBi on 5 GHz) to aim coverage, or external 3.5 dBi omnidirectional for all-round coverage.
• BE3600 class: up to 2,882 Mbps on 5 GHz and 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, 3.6 Gbps combined, with downlink and uplink OFDMA.
• 1 x 2.5 Gigabit RJ45 port with Power over Ethernet (PoE) input, plus a 2.5G SFP port for fibre.
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.3.
• IP66 weatherproof rating.
• Body of 223.2 x 169.9 x 53.9 mm and 1.2 kg.

What else you need

• An 802.3at PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) switch or injector; it draws up to 15.5 W.
• If you use the fibre port, an SFP module, which is not included.
• Outdoor-rated cable, and a wall or pole to mount it on.

Installation

Mount it on a wall or pole with the kit in the box. Aim the directional antennas towards the area to cover, or switch to the omnidirectional antennas for all-round coverage. A network installer should fit it and handle the outdoor cabling.

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.

Before you buy

• Requires 802.3at PoE+.
• The point-to-multipoint bridge mode (1 to 3 clients, up to 1.5 km) is still pending, so treat it as a future firmware feature and confirm support before relying on it.
• The SFP module is not included.
