Grandstream GWN7610 Enterprise 802.11ac Wi-Fi Access Point

I’ve had multiple issues being able to have sufficient coverage for my 2 Story home and property. I’ve tried (and returned several access point setups) A buddy introduced me to these devices. I was hesitant since I’ve never heard of this company putting out access points as they are known for VoIP primarily. I bit the bullet and purchased 2 7610’s. One resides in my upstairs bedroom closet (yes I realize not the most ideal place) and one downstairs in the kitchen above my cabinets. Setup was incredibly simple which was a plus. The big test was coverage, and to my pleasant surprise range is excellent thoughout the house and covers my whole 1 acre property with ease (I had the settings on high at one point and the coverage was well beyond my property and my neighbors 3 houses down so I’m running on low). I’m continually running multiple wireless devices (20-30 sessions constantly) and also do quiet a bit of entertaining so they utilize the guest network, and sessions reach as high as 100+ and don’t experience any lag time or connection issues. The only “downside” to these devices is that when they update there is no notice (your wireless just basically stops). Other then that they have been rock solid and I couldn’t be more satisfied.

Amazing access point. I found the UI and throughout fantastic for the price. Has been very stable and has played nice with my POE+ switch and Sophos XG firewall.My only gripe was that the firmware upgrade required me to create a TFTP server on my PC and update from there. My attempt at using the server firmware.grandstream.com didn't work.Update: I purchased another AP and it was automatically added as a slave. It's really nice being able to control them via the master device. Grandstream also added a roll over feature if the controlling AP were to fail. I've had no slowness or connection issues but I would be interested in sharing a configuration should it help my fellow readers. My link speeds are usually 500 to 700 Mbps, all three 3 streams are active, 5 Ghz as the priority, and I left the channel selection to the device.

Quality product that was easy to config! I purchased 3 of these for a church project, the results were perfect. The building is 2 floors, with drywall & cement block walls, concrete floors, and drop tile ceiling. The church can seat 300 people, impressive coverage in such a large space. I installed fresh cable runs of CAT6 back to a Gig POE switch, then patched that to the Gig port on the ISP router, BAM, DONE. Very clear instructions, and mounting screws for the brackets were included in the box, for wall or ceiling mount. Download the product management tool from Grand-stream and deployment is a snap. I like the product so much I bought one for my home.

These AP's work flawlessly. I have 3 in total. One at each end of the house and one in the center. Speed are great and no dead spots. Easy to manage and I love that they are mounted in the ceiling and are unobtrusive.

I use this at home to add AC speeds to an old ASUS RTN66U router. Was having major wifi problems with Samsung Galaxy S7 phones and the existing ASUS router. I hooked this in to a gigabit switch and disabled disabled the wifi on the router. Works without issues. There are some minor things I don't like such as not being able to have a 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz network with different SSIDs but their support staff indicate they are working on that for a future firmware update. Most access points like this are POE so it isn't really a distinguishing feature but it is nice to not have a separate power brick.

Easy to setup

When I bought those in 2020 it was good it worked well fast forward to 2022 it works but I have one access points that constantly reboots it self and one of them creates interference on my Amateur Radio equipment on the 24 MHz and 28 MHz bands…. It works for a while then stops working

Feature set for this price is awesome. Yes, support is less than stellar. The firmware upgrade requires you point to the specific image you want to install once you do that you can upgrade multiple APs at once (linked to one controller). I have implemented multiple SSIDs on different vlans with no issues. Their GWN7000 firewall can act as a controller eliminating the dependency on a single AP in a multi-AP installation.
