Overview
The GWN7302 is a new enterprise-grade PtP/PtMP Fixed Wireless Bridge, ideal for medium-to-large businesses that require long-distance wireless data transmission. It features dual-band 2×2:2 MIMO and a sophisticated antenna design with TDMA technology to improve spectrum efficiency, reduce interference, and enhance network stability.
Supporting both PtP and PtMP modes, the GWN7302 adapts to a variety of deployment scenarios. Its IP66-rated weatherproof design ensures stable performance in harsh environments.
One-key pairing enables quick synchronization and connection between devices, while built-in signal strength LEDs guide antenna alignment, simplifying installation and use.
For easy setup and management, the GWN7302 utilizes a controller-less distributed network architecture with an embedded controller accessible via its Web user interface. It is also supported by the GWN App, which allows configuration via the device’s own Wi-Fi signal when LAN access is not available. Remote management is available through the GDMS cloud platform.
Equipped with two Gigabit network ports, the GWN7302 supports both PoE IN and PoE OUT, making it an ideal long-range wireless bridge for factories, construction sites, parking lots, scenic areas, and more.

Hardware Installation
GWN7302 can be mounted on the wall or on a metal bar. Please refer to the following steps for the appropriate installation.
Wall Mount
- Attach the Device Bracket
Use the M3 screws to secure the device bracket to the back of the GWN7302.
- Fix the Wall Bracket
Mount the wall/pole bracket to the wall using the expansion bolts and long screws.
- Hook & Secure the Device
Align the device bracket with the mounted wall bracket, hook it into place, and secure it using the screws for firm attachment.
- Tighten and Check
Ensure all screws are secure, and the device is properly fixed and facing the correct direction.
Pole Mount
- Attach the Device Bracket
Use the M3 screws to secure the device bracket to the back of the GWN7302.
- Fix the Pole Bracket
Insert the steel strap through the pole bracket and wrap it around the pole. Tighten the strap until the bracket is snug and level.
- Hook & Secure the Device
Align the device bracket with the mounted pole bracket, hook it into place, and secure it with screws for a firm and stable attachment.
- Final Check
Confirm the device is tightly mounted, facing the correct direction, and all fasteners are secure.
Rubber Waterproof Plug Installation
The GWN7302 includes a rubber waterproof plug used to seal unused ports and maintain IP66 protection for outdoor use. Depending on your power method and port usage (NET1, NET2, DC IN), the plug can be configured in two ways:
Case 1: Using only NET1 (PoE IN)
If you’re using only NET1 for both power and data (typical for most PtP deployments):
- You do not remove any rubber inserts.
- You insert the network cable (RJ45) directly through the main open port on the rubber plug.
- The other two plug sections (NET2 + DC IN) stay sealed.
Case 2: Using NET2 and/or 24V DC Input
If you’re using NET2 (PoE OUT) to power another device (e.g., camera) and/or supplying power via the 24V terminal block:
- You need to remove the corresponding rubber seals from the backside of the plug:
- Cut the rubber plug with a blade for NET2 if you’re inserting a second Ethernet cable.
- Cut the rubber plug with a blade for DC IN if using a 24V terminal adapter.
- Insert the cables through the newly opened holes.
- Then fit the rubber plug into the main unit as usual.
Connect to GWN7302 Default Wi-Fi Network
When powered on, the GWN7302 will broadcast a default Wi-Fi network to allow initial configuration. The SSID will appear as: GWN[Last 6 digits of MAC address] (Example: GWN74D7A2)
GWN7302’s default SSID and Wi-Fi password are printed on the MAC tag on the back of the unit.
Accessing the Configuration Interface
A computer connected to the same network as the GWN7302, or connected to its default Wi-Fi, can access the configuration interface using one of the following methods:
Method 1: Using the Device’s MAC Address
- Locate the MAC address on the sticker at the back of the GWN7302.
- From a computer connected to the same network as the GWN7302, type in the following address using the GWN7302’s MAC address on your browser https://gwn_<mac>.local
Example: If a GWN7302 has the MAC address C0:74:AD:8C:4D:F8, this unit can be accessed by typing https://gwn_c074ad8c4df8.local on the browser.
Method 2: Using the GWN Discovery Tool
- Download and install the GWN Discovery Tool from the following link: https://www.grandstream.com/tools/GWNDiscoveryTool.zip
- Open the GWN DiscoveryTool, and click on Scan.
- The tool will display all GWN devices on the network with their MAC and IP addresses.
- Click on Manage Device or copy the IP into your browser to access the Web UI.
- Enter the username and password to log in. (The default administrator username is “admin” and the default random password can be found on the sticker on the GWN7302).
Method 3: Using the GWN App (Standalone Mode)
You can manage the GWN7302 locally without a GDMS account using the GWN App. Launch the app, select Single Device, and connect to the GWN7302’s Wi-Fi (SSID: GWN730X_XXXXXX). Use the device’s MAC address as the username and the default password printed on the label.

- Make sure the device is not already paired to another master or controller. If so, unpair or factory reset it first.
- It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with local regulations for frequency bands, transmit power, and others.
- To manage remotely, use the GDMS platform: https://www.gdms.cloud.
- Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or modify the device.
- Do not expose this device to temperatures outside the range of -30 °C to 60 °C for operating and -30 °C to 70 °C for storage.
- Do not expose the GWN7302 to environments outside of the following humidity range: 5-95% RH (non-condensing).
- Do not power cycle your GWN7302 access point during system boot-up or firmware upgrade. You may corrupt firmware images and cause the unit to malfunction.
- Please take lightning protection measures during installation (a lightning rod is required, and the device must be reliably grounded). It is recommended to use a surge protection device.
