Grandstream GWN7002 Multi-WAN VPN Router with 2 SFP and PoE

The Grandstream GWN7002 is a compact wired router with two 2.5G SFP ports and four Gigabit ports, rated for 2.2 Gbps NAT routing and 530 Mbps IPsec VPN. It fits small offices and branches that need multi-WAN, site-to-site VPN and a built-in controller for GWN access points.

====

The Grandstream GWN7002 is a compact wired router for small businesses, with two 2.5G SFP ports and four Gigabit ports that can each be assigned as WAN or LAN. It routes NAT traffic at up to 2.2 Gbps and runs IPsec VPN at up to 530 Mbps. If your office depends on a fiber line plus a backup and needs a secure link to head office, this 210 x 130 x 35 mm box covers both jobs.

Grandstream GWN7002 performance and ports

Specs below come from the official GWN700x user manual:

• 2x 2.5G SFP and 4x Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• 2.2 Gbps NAT routing.
• Up to 530 Mbps IPsec VPN and 50 concurrent tunnels.
• 16 VLANs and 32 DHCP servers.
• 1 GHz dual-core CPU with 256 MB RAM.

Direct fiber and multi-WAN

The SFP ports accept a fiber module from your ISP or building backbone with no media converter in between. Since every port is configurable, you can set two or three of them for STC, Mobily and Zain lines and let the router balance traffic or fail over automatically. A USB 2.0 port also takes a 4G modem as a backup link on newer hardware revisions.

Powered by PoE, and powering PoE

Unusually for its size, the GWN7002 can draw power from an 802.3af/at PoE switch, so it can sit in a ceiling void or a cabinet with no socket. It also has two PoE outputs (802.3af or passive 48V). With the included 24V 1A adapter, the PoE budget is about 12.8 W, rising to 24.8 W with a 24V 1.5A adapter, enough for an access point or a small camera.

Wi-Fi controller and security

A built-in controller manages Grandstream GWN access points, so all your Wi-Fi networks are configured from the router or from the GDMS Networking cloud. Security covers DoS protection, traffic rules and content filtering, while QoS gives VoIP calls priority and app-based statistics show where bandwidth goes.

Routing options include static, policy-based, OSPF, RIP and BGP, and VPN options include IPsec, OpenVPN, WireGuard, L2TP and PPTP.

One point from the official manual: turning on hardware acceleration disables QoS, rate limiting, traffic statistics and content security, so decide whether raw speed or control matters more.

Where it fits in Saudi Arabia

• A bank branch or exchange office that needs a stable tunnel to head office.
• A real estate office in Dammam with two ISP lines and GWN ceiling access points.
• A residential building fed by fiber over SFP and sharing internet across apartments.

GWN7002 or GWN7003?

Both deliver 2.2 Gbps routing, 530 Mbps VPN, two SFP ports and two PoE outputs. The GWN7003 steps up to nine Gigabit ports instead of four, 512 MB RAM, 100 VPN tunnels and 19-inch rack mounting. The GWN7002 suits small offices and branches; the GWN7003 suits a head office with a rack and more devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the GWN7002 run without its power adapter?

Yes. It accepts 802.3af/at PoE input from a PoE switch, and a 24V 1A adapter is also included in the box.

Can I plug fiber straight into it?

Yes, through either 2.5G SFP port with a suitable SFP module. Both ports work as WAN or LAN.
