OVERVIEW

The GWN7670 is a next-generation enterprise-grade Wi-Fi 7 access point designed for SMB environments. It offers 2×2:2 MIMO technology on the 2.4GHz band and 2×2:2 MIMO on the 5GHz band, along with a sophisticated antenna design. Wi-Fi 7’s 4096-QAM modulation delivers significant increases in data transfer rates, while MLO technology optimizes spectrum resource utilization to ensure a smooth experience for every user. To facilitate easy installation and management, the GWN7670 inherits the controller-less distributed network management design from the GWN766x series, with the controller embedded within the product’s Web user interface. The GWN7670 is also supported by GDMS Networking and GWN Manager, Grandstream’s cloud and on-premise Wi-Fi management platforms. It is ideal for voice-over-Wi-Fi deployments and offers seamless integration with Grandstream’s Wi-Fi-capable IP phones. With support for advanced QoS, low-latency real-time applications, mesh networks, captive portals, Bluetooth location services with BLE 5.3, 256 concurrent clients per AP, and 2x 2.5 Gigabit network ports (one supporting PoE+), the GWN7670 is an ideal for medium-sized wireless network deployments with medium-to-high user density.

PRECAUTIONS

POWERING AND CONNECTING THE GWN7670

GWN7670 can be powered on using PoE+ switch using the following steps:

• Step 1: Plug a RJ45 Ethernet cable into the network port (NET1) of GWN7670.
• Step 2: Plug the other end into the uplink port of the power over Ethernet (PoE+) switch.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

GWN7670 can be mounted on the wall or ceiling, Please refer to the following steps for the appropriate installation.

Wall Mount

1. Position the mounting bracket at the desired location on the wall with the arrow pointing up.
2. Use a pencil to mark the four mounting holes (screw holes DIA 5.5mm, reticle hole DIA 25mm).
3. If your Ethernet cable feeds through the wall, then cut or drill a circle approximately 18mm in diameter.
4. Insert screw anchors into the 5.5mm holes. Attach the mounting bracket to the wall by inserting the screws into the anchors.
5. Connect the power cable and the ethernet cable (RJ45) to your GWN7670.
6. Align the arrow on the GWN7670 AP with the arrow on the locking tab of the mounting bracket and ensure that the device is firmly seated on the mounting bracket.
7. Turn the GWN7670 clockwise until it locks into place and fits the locking tab.

Ceiling Mount

Note: Ceiling mounting is recommended for optimal coverage performance.

1. Remove the ceiling tile.
2. Place the ceiling backing plate in the center of the ceiling tile and mark the mounting screw holes (screw holes DIA 5.5mm, reticle hole DIA 25mm).
3. Insert the screws through the mounting bracket.
4. Connect the Ethernet cable (RJ45) to the correct ports of your GWN7670.
5. Align the arrow on the GWN7670 with the arrow on the locking tab of the mounting bracket and ensure that the device is firmly seated on the mounting bracket and connect the network and power cables.
6. Turn the GWN7670 clockwise until it locks into place and fits the locking tab.

CONNECT TO GWN7670 DEFAULT Wi-Fi NETWORK

GWN7670 can be used as standalone access point out of box, or after factory reset with Wi-Fi enabled by default.
After powering the GWN7670 and connecting it to the network, GWN7670 will broadcast a default SSID based on its MAC address GWN[MAC’s last 6 digits] and a random password.
Note: GWN7670’s default SSID and password information are printed on the MAC tag of the unit.

ACCESSING THE CONFIGURATION INTERFACE

A computer connected to the GWN7670’s SSID, or to the same network as the GWN7670 can discover and access its configuration interface using one of the below methods:

Method 1: Discover GWN7670 using its MAC Address

1. Locate the MAC address on the MAC tag of the unit, which is on the underside of the device, or on the package.
2. From a computer connected to same network as the GWN7670, type in following address using GWN7670’s MAC address on your browser https://gwn_<mac>.local

Example: If a GWN7670 has the MAC address EC:74:D7:8C:4D:F8, this unit can be accessed by typing https://gwn_ec74d78c4df8.local on the browser.

Method 2: Discover GWN7670 using GWN Discovery Tool

1. Download and install GWN Discovery Tool from the following link: https://www.grandstream.com/tools/GWNDiscoveryTool.zip
2. Open the GWN DiscoveryTool, and click on Scan.
3. The tool will discover all GWN76XX Access Points connected on the network showing their MAC and IP addresses.
4. Click on Manage Device to be redirected directly to the GWN7670’s configuration interface, or type in manually the displayed IP address on your browser.
5. Enter username and password to login. (The default administrator username is “admin” and the default random password can be found at the sticker on the GWN7670).

Notes:

• Make sure that the GWN7670 is not already paired with another GWN76xx Access Point as slave, GWN Router, GCC device or GDMS Networking Cloud, otherwise the configuration interface cannot be accessed.
• If the GWN7670 is already paired, make sure to unpair it first, then do a factory reset.
• It is customer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with local regulations for frequency bands, transmit power and others.
• To manage GWN7670 over cloud, please refer to https://www.gdms.cloud.
