GRANDSTREAM GWN7600LR Outdoor Long Range 802.11ac Wave-2 WiFi Access Point Installation Guide

OVERVIEW

This long range WiFi access point is designed to provide extended coverage support and is ideal for outdoor WiFi solutions thanks to its waterproof casing and heat resistant technology. The GWN7600LR comes equipped with dual band 2×2:2 MU-MIMO with beam-forming technology and a sophisticated antenna design for maximum network throughput and extended WiFi 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 GWN 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 outdoor access point for mid-size wireless network deployments.
