Do Grandstream GWN Access Points have WI-FI 6?

We have previously talked about the emergence of Wi-Fi 6, how this is the next generation of Wi-Fi, why to choose Wi-Fi 6, and how we couldn’t wait to learn more about it.

Now is the time to learn! And not only is now the time to learn about Wi-Fi 6, but how Wi-Fi 6 is the perfect Wi-Fi access point (AP) for business-grade wireless network deployments with medium-to-high user density.

And, as we are asked about Wi-Fi 6 access points, we are frequently asked if one of our most popular brands of APs, the Grandstream GWN series of APs, has Wi-Fi 6. The GWN Series does include Wi-Fi 6 APs. Read on to discover the three Grandstream Wi-Fi APs that are on the market and available to you through VoIP Supply.

Wi-Fi 6 is the most recent version of the Wi-Fi network protocol. Due to the increased bandwidth provided by Wi-Fi 6, you get faster Wi-Fi, which means better upload and download speeds.

Wi-Fi 6 was created to support the modern generation of dense environments where faster internet is constantly in demand as many users utilize more bandwidth-demanding devices that require consistent and reliable Wi-Fi connections.

Wi-Fi 6 technology maximizes the number of signals an access point and router can send and receive at the same time, allowing them to communicate with more devices at the same time and to send data to multiple devices in the same broadcast.

The two key technologies responsible for speeding up Wi-Fi 6 connections are MU-MIMO and OFDMA.

MU-MIMO, which stands for “Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output,” was introduced on Wi-Fi 5 devices, but Wi-Fi 6 upgraded it. This technology allows a router to communicate with multiple access points, rather than broadcasting to one device at a time.

OFDMA, which stands for “Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access,” directly impacts uplink and downlink streams and controls how client devices are connected to the access point and bandwidth prioritization.

Grandstream, a leader in providing comprehensive communication solutions, provides an ideal Wi-Fi 6 AP solution with their Grandstream GWN Series Wi-Fi 6 APs.

The GWN series of Wi-Fi 6 APs are perfect for delivering the advantages of Wi-Fi 6 to small-to-medium-sized businesses, multiple-floor buildings, residential settings and commercial locations, and similar environments.

The GWN Wi-Fi 6 APs include the GWN7660, GWN7660LR, and GWN7664.

The GWN7660 offers dual-band 2×2:2 MU-MIMO with DL/UL OFDMA technology and a sophisticated antenna design for maximum network throughput and expanded Wi-Fi coverage range. To ensure easy installation and management, the GWN7660 uses a controller-less distributed network management design in which the controller is embedded within the product’s Web user interface. The GWN7660 is also supported by GWN.Cloud. It offers an effective solution for high-density deployments.

The GWN7660LR offers IP66 weatherproof certified casing, dual-band 2×2:2 MU-MIMO technology with DL/UL OFDMA technology, and a sophisticated antenna design for maximum network throughput and extended coverage range of up to 250 meters. To ensure easy installation and management, the GWN7660LR uses a controller-less distributed network management design in which the controller is embedded within the product’s Web user interface. The GWN7660LR is also supported by GWN.Cloud.

The GWN7664 offers a high-end Wi-Fi access point with dual-band 4×4:4 MU-MIMO, DL/UL OFDMA technology, and a sophisticated internal antenna design for stronger anti-interference, more stable connection, maximum network throughput, and expanded Wi-Fi coverage range. To ensure easy installation and management, the GWN7664 uses a controller-less distributed network management design in which the controller is embedded within the product’s Web user interface. The GWN7664 is also supported by GWN.Cloud.
