Grandstream GWN7600 Mid-Tier Wi-Fi Access Point 802.11ac Wave 2 with Beam-Forming Technology

Great product,Fast delivery and response from seller

Gran producto a muy buen precio. Llegó super rápido.

Absolutely no complaints! Love the product. I like the flexibility it offers. I have isolated all my SSID’s by tagging with the VLAN option. Mobile app works well for managing but does not give full config.

The AP has good coverage.

I've been using wifi since 802.11a, this is the most difficult access point I have yet come across, though possibly my first Grandstream. Usually, for example, I can upgrade firmware by uploading some artifact downloaded from the manufacturer's website, activate client bridge mode with a single drop-down menu option, etc. Not in this case.First, note that it does /not/ come with a power supply, I power mine through PoE. What kind of PoE it requires, the manual that comes with it does not specify, I have it plugged in to a regular 802.3af/at injector and it seems to work. (The 24V marked on the underside I suspect is about its socket for the power supply it doesn't come with and the manual specifies no part number for.) The manual doesn't say much more than how to physically install the device, though it does mention how to connect to it for configuration, via two methods useless to me. (1) Browse to a specific URL in *.local, except that didn't work for me, however I connected to the access point, it seemed to just be passing through DNS from the upstream router. (2) Run some Windows executable, except I don't run Windows on anything in the building, it's all based on various flavors of Linux and BSD. Nothing so simple as, here's its default IP that it'll take if no DHCP is offered. I tried pinging the suspected subnet broadcast address but my ARP cache didn't give anything up. Eventually the (3) that worked for me is, check the status of the upstream router to see what IP address it had handed to this device. So, then, I could finally access the configuration menus.The firmware was some distance behind the current and, in my experience, upgrades can blow away settings, so I figured an upgrade was the next step. That menu includes the first part of the URL for it to download firmware, and an "Update" button below. It came set with the wrong URL, the part after the protocol needs changed to being at firmware.grandstream.com, but change it and hit "Update" below and it still doesn't work, though if you look for the curl error in the syslog, you'll see the address it actually tried to fetch from. After changing the address, I /think/ you have to scroll way down further and first hit "Save", then you can upgrade. I managed it somehow, anyway.Then, I wanted to switch it to client bridge mode, that's why I bought the device, it advertises it as a capability. The included manual says nothing about it but there's a larger user guide that you can find online and it says that you have to first change settings in two other places before you can pick the client bridge mode option. I did that and it stayed grayed out. Then, someone else (no idea how) found me another guide all about just that mode and its examples were all about having one device switch another one into that mode. Subsequent converation with Grandstream themselves reveals that, actually, a single device can't be switched into that mode, one must buy multiple ones! (First time in my life I've seen that restriction, I've used access points from everyone from Proxim to TRENDnet.) The icing on the cake is that, once you have a second one, if you initially log in with the default Master option then, when you are finding how to pair it with the first, it turns out that you have to factory-reset it.In short, it doesn't work for what was advertised, even after a needlessly onerous configuration process that included tricky steps and online research that I wasted hours on, double checking that I was doing everything as intended, testing variants of settings, etc. It also takes ages to boot, easier to go do something else after power-cycling or rebooting it. So, why do I still give it even three stars? Because: (a) Out of the box, it does seem to work fine as a simple access point, which is what many people will want it for. (b) Grandstream do have technical support who (I don't know how correctly) do answer questions. I expect rather more competent usability and good documentation for the price, I hate to think how difficult it would be to get it working as desired in a truly complex enterprise setup.

This worked great!!!
