GWN7001/7002/7003 Series: The Foundation of Secure and Highly Available Connectivity for Integrators and ISPs

Written by David Alonso | Jan 13, 2026 11:14:39 PM

In today’s digital environment, where mission-critical applications, voice, video, and cloud services depend entirely on network availability, system integrators and service providers require solutions that are robust, secure, and scalable.


The Grandstream GWN7001, GWN7002, and GWN7003 Gigabit Multi-WAN VPN Router Series is designed to meet these demands by delivering business-class security, high availability, and simplified network management across a wide range of deployments.

 

 

True High Availability: Load Balancing and Failover

Network uptime is no longer optional—it is essential. The GWN7000 Series addresses this need with:

  • Multiple WAN interfaces with intelligent load balancing, distributing traffic across multiple Internet links.

  • Automatic failover, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity when a primary link goes down.

This allows integrators and ISPs to deliver always-on networks that support critical services such as VoIP, video conferencing, business applications, payment systems, and IoT.

Enterprise-Grade Security Built In

The GWN7001/7002/7003 Series features an advanced, integrated firewall that provides comprehensive network protection, including:

  • Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)

  • Application, URL, DNS, and web content filtering

  • Anti-DoS protection

  • Advanced traffic rules, NAT, ALG, DMZ, and DDNS

In addition, the series offers full VPN support to enable secure connectivity between sites and remote users:

  • IPsec (site-to-site and client-to-site)

  • OpenVPN®, WireGuard®, PPTP, and L2TP

  • Strong encryption with AES, 3DES, and DES

  • Advanced authentication methods and NAT traversal

This combination ensures secure communications across corporate networks while meeting demanding security requirements.

Performance Designed to Scale

Each model in the GWN7000 Series is tailored to different deployment needs:

  • GWN7001: 6 Gigabit Ethernet ports

  • GWN7002 / GWN7003:

    • 2 × 2.5GbE SFP ports

    • 4 or 9 Gigabit Ethernet ports

    • PoE output ports to power access points, IP cameras, and other endpoints

Across the entire series, users benefit from:

  • Advanced QoS to prioritize latency-sensitive applications such as voice and video

  • Triple-play support for Internet, VoIP, and IPTV using independent VLANs and priorities

  • Detailed traffic monitoring and application visibility

 

Centralized Management That Simplifies Operations

Designed for scalability and operational efficiency, the GWN7000 Series includes:

  • An integrated controller capable of managing up to 150 Grandstream GWN Wi-Fi access points

  • Local management via a web-based interface

  • Remote management through GWN.Cloud or GWN Manager, Grandstream’s free cloud and on-premises network management platforms

This approach enables integrators and service providers to reduce operational costs, centralize network control, and efficiently scale customer deployments.

Ideal Deployment Scenarios

The GWN7001, GWN7002, and GWN7003 routers are well-suited for:

  • Small and medium-sized businesses

  • Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

  • Retail and franchise networks

  • Hospitality environments

  • Educational institutions

  • Healthcare facilities

  • Corporate offices and multi-site enterprises

By combining high availability, advanced security, and centralized management, the GWN7000 Series provides a solid foundation for building reliable, professional-grade network infrastructures.
