WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing Grandstream GWN7600LR Outdoor Long-range 802.11ac Wave-2 Wi-Fi Access
Point. This Wi-Fi long range access point is designed to provide extended coverage support. Ideal for
outdoor Wi-Fi solutions thanks to its waterproof casing and heat resistant technology. The GWN7600LR
comes equipped with dual-band 2x2:2 MU-MIMO with beam-forming technology and a sophisticated
antenna design for maximum network throughput and extended Wi-Fi coverage range of up to 300 meters.
To ensure easy installation and management, the GWN7600LR uses a controller-less distributed network
management design and an embedded controller within the product’s web user interface. This allows each
access point to manage a network of up to 30 GWN76xx series APs independently without needing
separate controller hardware/software and without a single point-of-failure. Its easy installation and
management features packed with extra coverage support and advanced performance features make the
GWN7600LR an ideal enterprise AP for mid-size wireless network deployments.
Caution:
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Grandstream, or operation of this
product in any way other than as detailed by this User Manual, could void your manufacturer warranty.
