Grandstream GWN7671 In-Wall Wi-Fi 7 Access Point, BE3600, 2.5G, 2 x PoE Out

Overview

The Grandstream GWN7671 gives a room Wi-Fi 7 plus wired, powered ports from one wall faceplate, for hotel rooms, serviced apartments, dormitories and offices. It is an in-wall Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) access point with BE3600 dual-band radios (2.4 GHz 2×2, 5 GHz 3×3 with Xtra Range 2.0) that takes power and data on a 2.5 Gigabit PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus, 802.3at) port and provides two Gigabit ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE) output for a phone, TV or camera in the room.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a room with a network wall box where each room needs Wi-Fi 7 plus wired, powered ports.
• Its 12 W total PoE output suits a desk phone or a similar low-power device.
• If no downstream ports are needed, the GWN7670WM is the slim wall-mount Wi-Fi 7 unit; for Wi-Fi 6 in-wall with PoE outputs, see the GWN7661E.
• It is an indoor unit rated for 0 to 40 °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.
• BE3600 class: up to 2,882 Mbps on 5 GHz and 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, 3.6 Gbps combined.
• 256 concurrent devices and up to 175 m coverage.
• 1 x 2.5G PoE+ uplink and 2 x Gigabit ports with 802.3af/at PoE output, 12 W total.
• PPSK (private pre-shared key) for a personal password per user, captive portal, 802.11k/v/r roaming and Hotspot 2.0.
• 32 network names (SSIDs), 16 per radio.
• Slim in-wall body of 143 x 99 x 33.5 mm and 373 g.

What else you need

• An 802.3at PoE+ switch port or injector on the uplink; the unit itself draws 13.5 W before the PoE output is added.
• A 2.5G switch port to use the full uplink speed.
• An in-wall box and a network cable from the switch to it.

Installation

It installs in-wall with the bracket and fixings in the box. A network installer or electrician should fit it, since it sits in the wall wiring.

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

• Needs an 802.3at (PoE+) source.
• The 12 W output budget suits a desk phone or similar low-power device.
• The package includes the mounting bracket and screws; no power adapter.
