Product Features
Technical Overview
The GWN7603 operates on the IEEE 802.11ac Wave-2 standard, providing dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity. Its aggregate wireless throughput reaches 1.27Gbps, supported by a wireline architecture that includes one Gigabit uplink port and three additional Gigabit ports for network expansion.
Power delivery is streamlined through auto-detection of PoE and PoE+ on the uplink port, allowing the device to be powered over Ethernet. Two of the downstream ports feature PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment), enabling them to provide PoE to connected devices such as IP phones or cameras, simplifying cable management and reducing the need for separate power adapters.
