Grandstream GWN7003 2xSFP 9xGbE LAN WAN DPI Router

Stay away from those consumer (all in one's), or your getting skrewed in so many ways ! Management is a breeze, Defaults are set in a way that you don't have to do much. It took less than a second to connect to our provider & I didn't even have to call those Mo&ons ! The Access points are simple as well. (Unless you have to update firmware, that wasn't as easy) Now that the AP's are updated, they connected to this router Easily & Flawlessly. I purchased 4 AP's but found I only needed 2 as the signal reaches far and wide :) Way better than any consumer grade routers With over 1000 wifi routers surrounding us, These AP's get 100% quality/signal to the edge & beyond of our yard. (sorry neighbors :). Update: 4 months later running 24/7... Still perfect ! Absolutely No Issues, at all, Even after 3 firmware updates, It just keeps getting better :) I have 2x of their 24 port switches as well (7803 & 7813), This router now lets you manage their Switches & the AP's from the router itself. I am extremely hippy with this purchase.

Highly recommended. Integrates well with Grandstream access points. PROS: 1. Value for the money. 2. Easy setup and integration. 3. American company. No worries about foreign country security mandates. 4. Small footprint. CONS: 1. User manual is very sparse. Not helpful for setup and integration with access points. 2. Unfortunately, it's not for general consumers. It's my impression that if the customer buys this product, then the customer should already have sufficient networking knowledge. However, it's learnable.

Been a very good router in my GrandStream setup. So far very stable and easy setup using the gdms cloud control.

I like these routers a lot. Great feature set for the cost, not as flashy as Unifi or Omada, but they work very well, built in POE, etc.

I've been having trouble with my ISP's 30-minute IP lease (ISP modem/router was configured as bridge mode), as in some days it triggers the PBR failover unnecessarily for failing to instantly acquire the IP lease from ISP and Omada ER605 router is not very good at handling this matter causing a 3-5 minute internet outage. Pretty awful for internet cafes. GWN7003 solved the issue by triggering the PBR failover caused by the same instance, and importantly, waiting for preferred WAN to reconnect "completely" before passing the devices/LAN back to preferred WAN. It's much more responsive and real-time. Was using ER605 for over a year and initially looking an upgrade to ER707-M2 for faster processor thinking it might solve my problem. Well I'm glad I found Grandstream, bought this router at half the budget instead, shorter boot time, better UI, more ports and still get 2.5gps. I love it, I no longer have to monitor and intervene manually. Also happy their products gets delivered here to Philippines. Hoping tho Grandstream will add DNS Proxy for DoH, it's one of the critical feature I liked with Omada router being able to use my custom cloudflare zerotrust DNS.
