Overview
The GWN7670WM is a new generation enterprise-grade in-wall Wi-Fi 7 access point, ideal for small-to-medium-sized businesses to build next-generation Wi-Fi networks. It features a stylish appearance and a sprayable shell, which easily matches various decoration styles and perfectly integrates into the space. It offers dual-band 2x2:2 MU-MIMO with DL/UL OFDMA technology and a sophisticated antenna design for maximum network throughput and expanded Wi-Fi coverage range. With 4096 QAM modulation, Wi-Fi 7 achieves a significant increase in data transfer rates. MLO technology optimizes spectrum resource utilization to ensure a smooth experience for every user. To ensure easy installation and management, the GWN7670WM uses a controller-less distributed network management design in which the controller is embedded within the product's Web user interface. The GWN7670WM is also supported by GDMS Networking and GWN Manager, Grandstream's cloud and on-premise Wi-Fi management platform. It is the ideal Wi-Fi AP for voice-over-Wi-Fi deployments and offers a seamless connection with Grandstream's Wi-Fi capable IP phones. With support for advanced QoS, low-latency real-time applications, mesh networks, captive portals, BT location with BLE 5.3, 256 concurrent clients per AP and 1 x 2.5 Gigabit network ports with PoE+, the GWN7670WM is an ideal Wi-Fi access point for medium wireless network deployments with medium-to-high user density.

Hardware Installation
The GWN7670WM can be installed on the wall using one of two methods:
Embedded Wall Installation (Rear Shell Not Required)
Steps:
- Use a measuring tape to measure the distance between the two wall mount slots on the back of the GWN7670WM access point. Mark the screw hole positions on the wall with a pencil.
- Drill the holes in the marked spots and secure the GWN7670WM to the wall using expansion screws.
- Attach the front cover to complete the installation.

Connect to GWN7670WM Default Wi-Fi Network
The GWN7670WM can be used as a standalone access point out of the box, or after a factory reset with Wi-Fi enabled by default. After powering the GWN7670WM and connecting it to the network, it will broadcast a default SSID based on its MAC address (GWN[MAC's last 6 digits]) and a random password. Note: The GWN7670WM's default SSID and password information are printed on the MAC tag of the unit.
Accessing the Configuration Interface
A computer connected to the GWN7670WM's SSID, or to the same network as the GWN7670WM, can discover and access its configuration interface using one of the below methods:
Method 1: Discover GWN7670WM using its MAC Address
- Locate the MAC address on the MAC tag of the unit, which is on the underside of the device, or on the package.
- From a computer connected to the same network as the GWN7670WM, type the following address into your browser using the GWN7670WM's MAC address:
https://gwn_<mac>.local.
Example: If a GWN7670WM 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 GWN7670WM using GWN Discovery Tool
- Download and install GWN Discovery Tool from the following link: https://www.grandstream.com/tools/GWNDiscoveryTool.zip
- Open the GWN Discovery Tool and click on Scan.
- The tool will discover all GWN76XX Access Points connected on the network, showing their MAC and IP addresses.
- Click on "Manage Device" to be redirected directly to the GWN7670WM's configuration interface, or type in manually the displayed IP address on your browser.
Login: Enter username and password to log in. The default administrator username is "admin" and the default random password can be found on the sticker on the GWN7670WM.
