The last time I had something to do with Grandstream, when I wanted to have an old fax machine connected to a voip PBX with a Grandstream HT286 which didn´t work (I considered that voip ATA junk). But I saw Grandstream´s GWN7630 access point. From thhe datasheet and release notes it looks interesting:
- MediaTek MT7615 chipset, no Broadcom, no Qualcomm... That Mediatek is considered low cost, right?
- 2.4GHz 4x4 (who needs that, but hey it looks better than 3x3...)
- 5 GHz 4x4 with MU-MIMO
- PoE+ in
- AirTime Fairness
- Dynamic VLAN Assignment with RADIUS Server and Wireless (good for eduroam)
- Inbuilt controller for 50 access points, something like Aruba´s instant, ok.
- no multicast/broadcast controls
- no SNMP, really?
- they promise 200+ clients, well Aruba promises 1500 clients for its AP-555. Well I consider Grandstream´s number more realistic...
- 802.11k/r/v roaming - good only if it really works
- ~100$, the last cheapish access points I bought were from MikroTik and those are really junk
So has anyone actually experience with Grandstream access point in general or perhaps in higher density rooms?
