Grandstream GWN7624 In-Wall Wi-Fi 5 Access Point

The Grandstream GWN7624 is designed for sites that need wireless service inside a room while keeping wired connections close to users and equipment. Its in-wall format and port layout distinguish it from conventional centrally placed access points: one Gigabit PoE uplink, two Gigabit PSE ports, and one Gigabit Ethernet port bring wireless and local wired access together. It supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, pairing a 2.4 GHz 2×2:2 MIMO radio with a 5 GHz 4×4:4 MU-MIMO radio. Aggregate wireless throughput reaches 2.03 Gbps, capacity is up to 200 clients, and maximum range reaches 100 m. This combination suits focused coverage where the wall outlet is part of the network design.

Why choose the Grandstream GWN7624?

The practical advantage of this model appears when a wall network position needs to serve more than Wi-Fi. The Gigabit PoE uplink carries network access and power compatible with 802.3af/802.3at, while the two Gigabit PSE ports can extend Gigabit connectivity to nearby equipment. A further Gigabit Ethernet port provides another local wired path. For a facilities or IT team, that arrangement supports a cleaner room plan: mobile devices connect over Wi-Fi, while fixed equipment can remain wired from the same location. It is particularly relevant when the project brief calls for a room endpoint rather than only a radio mounted in a central shared area.

Wireless capacity for a defined service area

The GWN7624 divides wireless work across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Its 2.4 GHz radio uses 2×2:2 MIMO, while the 5 GHz radio uses 4×4:4 MU-MIMO, giving the higher-frequency band more spatial capacity for compatible devices. Aggregate wireless throughput of 2.03 Gbps describes the combined radio capability rather than a fixed rate for every client. Support for up to 200 clients gives planners room for phones, computers, and operational devices within the coverage area. Up to 16 SSIDs also allow the network design to separate guest, staff, and operational access. Actual allocation should still reflect application demand and the expected concentration of active users.

Useful settings across Saudi business sites

In hotels and serviced apartments, the in-wall design can serve a room or suite while providing Gigabit paths for fixed equipment in that space. In offices, it can fit a meeting room, executive office, or small work zone where both wireless access and nearby cable connections matter. Clinics, reception areas, and service rooms can use the same pattern when handheld devices coexist with fixed terminals. The stated maximum range of 100 m gives an initial planning reference, but walls, construction materials, furniture, and client density should inform the site survey. The device is best assessed as a focused room-level node, with quantity and placement determined from the building layout.

Positioning against the GWN7625 and GWN7630

The GWN7624 and GWN7625 address different placement priorities. The GWN7624 emphasizes an in-wall position and local wired distribution, whereas the GWN7625 is an indoor access point for broader coverage from a more central location. The GWN7630 moves further toward enterprise capacity and greater network segmentation. By contrast, the GWN7624 stays focused on the room and the devices connected around its wall position. Choose it when the PSE ports and in-wall form are useful parts of the deployment. If the project is primarily about covering a large open area from a central point, another sibling may align more closely with that topology.

Power and physical planning

The access point accepts 802.3af/802.3at PoE and has a maximum power consumption of 25 W. The selected switch port or injector should therefore match the supported PoE standard and the deployment’s power requirements, including how the PSE ports will be used. Dimensions of 135 x 86 x 38.5 mm provide a concrete basis for checking the wall position, cable space, and surrounding clearance before installation. The operating temperature range is -10 to 50 C, so the planned room or corridor should remain within those limits. Preparing the cable route and confirming PoE delivery before mounting can reduce rework during a multi-room rollout.

Antenna layout and signal planning

The unit has two internal 5 GHz antennas plus two internal dual-frequency antennas. Gain is 3 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 5 dBi at 5 GHz. This layout supports its dual-band role, but placement still matters. Metal furniture, fixed equipment, and dense building materials can change how a wall-mounted radio reaches the intended users. Survey both bands at the actual site because older business devices may rely on 2.4 GHz while compatible clients can use the capacity available at 5 GHz. Steering the deployment design around real client locations makes better use of the radio configuration than treating the stated maximum range as a guaranteed radius.

Preparing the installation

The box contains the GWN7624 access point, KB 3.5 x 26 screws, and a Quick Installation Guide. Before installation, the project team can prepare the PoE-capable network connection, verify the available power, check the wall position against the device dimensions, and map each local Ethernet connection. Because the unit supports up to 16 SSIDs, defining network names and separation requirements before rollout also keeps configuration consistent across rooms. Mapping the two PSE ports and the additional Ethernet port to intended devices prevents unused powered connections or last-minute cabling gaps. The result is a clearly scoped in-wall access point that serves wireless clients and local wired equipment from one room position.
