Step 2: Connect the other end of the cable to a PoE/PoE+ switch that provides power and network access.
Hardware Installation
The GWN7670WM can be installed on the wall using one of two methods:
Embedded Wall Installation (Rear Shell Not Required)
- Use a measuring tape to measure the distance between the two wall mount slots on the back of the GWN7670WM access point. Mark the screw hole positions on the wall with a pencil.
- Drill the holes in the marked spots and secure the GWN7670WM to the wall using expansion screws.
- Attach the front cover to complete the installation.
Wall or Electrical Box Installation (Rear Shell Required)
- Use a measuring tape to measure the distance between the two wall mount slots on the back of the GWN7670WM rear shell, and mark the mounting screw holes on the wall with a pencil.
- Drill holes at the marked positions, then secure the GWN7670WM rear shell to the wall or electrical box using expansion screws.
- Use screws to mount the GWN7670WM main body onto the rear shell.
- Attach the front cover to the GWN7670WM body to complete the installation.
Connect to GWN7670WM Default Wi-Fi Network
GWN7670WM can be used as a standalone access point out of the box, or after a factory reset with Wi-Fi enabled by default.
After powering the GWN7670WM and connecting it to the network, GWN7670WM will broadcast a default SSID based on its MAC address GWN[MAC’s last 6 digits], and a random password.
GWN7670WM’s default SSID and password information are printed on the MAC tag of the unit.
Accessing the configuration Interface
A computer connected to the GWN7670WM’s SSID, or to the same network as the GWN7670WM can discover and access its configuration interface using one of the below methods:
Method 1: Discover GWN7670WM using its MAC Address
- Locate the MAC address on the MAC tag of the unit, which is on the underside of the device, or on the package.
- From a computer connected to the same network as the GWN7670WM, type in the following address using GWN7670WM’s MAC address on your browser: https://gwn_<mac>.local
If a GWN7670WM has the MAC address EC:74:D7:8C:4D:F8, this unit can be accessed by typing https://gwn_ec74d78c4df8.local on the browser.
