Grandstream APs are the best I've ever used, hands down. They are bullet proof, so easy to configure, and for the love of all things holy and non-cloud based -- NO CONTROLLER DEVICE NEEDED. Its all built in, right in the AP, and just works.
I have a confession... For some dumb reason, I have been running my 3 7660s (in mesh mode) without WiFi 5 compatibility enabled. After the kick in the pants I just got from you, I turned it on. Now, all of the weird connection issues I have been having with my Wyze cams & TinyCam Pro, have gone away! DUH!!! Thanks Willie!
No controller is a big plus, completely ridiculous that for installing 3 or 4 WFI APs in a house you needed to buy or install a controller.This is one of my favorite access points.
Thanksfully, Grandstream implemented Wifi5 compatibility mode which can be activated for each band, so you can e.g. let your legacy clients connect to a non 802.11ax 2.4 GHz SSID and your younger clients to 5.0 Ghz 802.11ax SSID.
thats a chunky boi. i need to try one of those and a cambium one as well. as far as lag goes you can lag them together at 1gb speed depending on their chipset and firmware.
Willie, do you know why there is a Wi-Fi 5 compatibility checkbox option on GWN76xx access points? I ask since Wi-Fi 6 is suppose to be backward compatible.
@@WillieHowe Thanks. Interesting. Since Wi-Fi 6 functions are disabled when that option is checked, it kind of defeats the purpose of buying Wi-Fi 6 hardware. Odd!

Their cloud controller is really nice, Enabling 2fa on this & using it IMO is really nice ! Locally managed ap & switches are good too.
@@JasonsLabVideos better than cloud controller is theirs local controller on the AP itself.
Thanks Willie, great video. I don’t have one of these yet, I have the GWN7660, and it works great. Can’t wait for the switches
Great talking to you Tony and the rest of the gang - I just subscribed 🙂
Can't wait to get one of these! Very nice ap. Good work Willie ! And first !!

These are sooooo good!
Aren't the two network ports switched?
In that case you could get closer to that 3.5 gigabit throughout they advertise.

Bam this is exactly what I want to see
Where is a good place to buy this AP? Can you show us a mesh setup with multiple APs? Thanks for sharing!

hi willie can we set fixed ip's for wifi clients??
Willie, am I going to have any issues with my Mikrotik equipment and the Grandstream AP?
Nope!

Yes to make sure non WiFi 6 clients have maximum compatibility
