Grandstream GWN7660EM: Plug-In Wi-Fi 6 Extender + AP

If you’ve ever wished you could expand Wi-Fi coverage without pulling cable or mounting another ceiling AP, Grandstream’s new GWN7660EM is built for exactly that. It’s a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point with a socket-style, plug-in design that can also operate as a wireless extender, making it an easy way to fill dead zones and expand coverage quickly. 

Designed for home and small deployments, the GWN7660EM delivers up to 3Gbps aggregate wireless throughput, supports up to 128 concurrent clients, and provides up to 120 meters of coverage range (environment dependent).

What Makes the GWN7660EM Different?

1. Plug-in form factor that’s actually deployable

The GWN7660EM’s wall-plug design is meant to simplify installs. Plug it in where coverage drops off, connect it into your existing network (or extend wirelessly), and you’re expanding coverage without adding a big hardware footprint.

2. Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 performance with MU-MIMO + OFDMA

This model is an AX3000-class Wi-Fi 6 AP, with:

• 2.4GHz 2x2:2 MU-MIMO
• 5GHz 3x3:2 MU-MIMO
• OFDMA plus beamforming for improved efficiency in busy environments

It also supports wider 5GHz channels up to 160 MHz (where allowed), which can help push higher throughput to capable clients.

Built-In Security and Guest Access Options

For environments that need more than a basic SSID and password, the GWN7660EM includes:

• WPA2/WPA3 (personal & enterprise) support
• Unique security certificate and randomized default password per device
• Secure boot and signed firmware protections
• Captive portal options (including vouchers and social login)

It also supports roaming enhancements like 802.11k/v/r, helpful when you’re building a multi-AP or mesh environment where clients move around.
