The GWN7624 is an in-wall Wi-Fi access point designed for small-to-medium sized businesses, offices, residential, commercial locations, hotels and more. It provides three Gigabit network ports to provide IP phones, IPTV, computers and similar devices with Ethernet while also providing and uplink Gigabit network port with PoE/PoE+. The GWN7624 offers 2.4G 2×2:2, 5G 4×4:4 MU-MIMO technology and a sophisticated antenna design for maximum network throughput and expanded Wi-Fi coverage range. To ensure easy installation and management, the GWN7624 uses a controller-less distributed network management design in which the controller is embedded within the product’s web user interface.
