HARDWARE INSTALLATION

GWN7664E 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 ethernet cable (RJ45) to the correct ports of your GWN7664E.
6. Align the arrow on the GWN7664E AP with the arrow on the locking tab of the mounting bracket and ensure that your GWN is firmly seated on the mounting bracket.
7. Turn the GWN 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 th Ethernet cable (RJ45) to the correct ports of your GWN7664E.
5. Align the arrow on the GWN7664E with the arrow on the locking tab of mounting bracket and connect the network and power cables.
6. Turn the GWN cloclwise until it locks into place and fits the locking tab.

CONNECT TO GWN7664E DEFAULT Wi-Fi NETWORK
GWN7664E can be used as stand alone access point out of box, or after factory reset with Wi-Fi enabled by default. After powering the GWN7664E and connecting it to the network, GWN7664E will broadcast a default SSID based on its MAC address GWN[MAC’s last 6 digits] and a random password.
Note: GWN7664E’s default SSID and password information are printed on the MAC tag of the unit.

ACCESSING THE CONFIGURATION INTERFACE
A computer connected to the GWN7664E’s SSID, or to the same network as the GWN7664E can discover and accessits configuration interface using one of the below methods:

Method 1: Discover GWN7664E using its MAC Address

1. Locate the MAC address on the MAC tag of the unit, which is on the under-side of the device, or on the package.
2. From a computer connected to same network as the GWN7664E, type in following address using GWN7664E’s MAC address on your browser: https://gwn_<mac>.local
