USING GWN76XX AS MASTER ACCESS POINT CONTROLLER
Master Mode allows a GWN76XX to act as an Access Point Controller managing other GWN76XX access points. This will allow users to add other access points under one controller and manage them in an easy and centralized way
Master/Slave mode is helpful with large installations that need more area zone coverage with the same controller.
Login Page
Warning
Set unit as Master option will forbid the GWN76XX Access Point from being paired by other Master GWN76XX and can only act as a Master Access point controller. Users will need to perform a factory reset to the GWN76XX , or unpair it from the initial GWN76XX to make it open to Master Access Point mode again.
Login Page
After login, users can use the Setup Wizard tool to go through the configuration setup or exit and configure it manually. Setup Wizard can be accessed anytime by clicking on while on the web interface.
Setup Wizard
Discover and Pair Other GWN76xx Access Points
First, note that by default, the GWN controller access point will automatically discover all APs connected to the same LAN (broadcast domain). There is also a possibility to pair and provision remote APs using DHCP option 43, with the master direction explained below.
Master Direction
To pair and manage access points located on remote networks, the admin needs to configure the IP address of the master AP on DHCP option 43, which will be sent to the slave access point during the booting stage and allow the save/master connection to be established remotely. GWN76xx accepts option 224 encapsulated in option 43, and the syntax is in TLV format. A simple example of DHCP 43 configuration would be:
224(Type)12(Length)10.157.0.234(Value) translated into Hex as e00c31302e3135372e302e323334
Scenario example: a company has two offices connected via VPN (master AP located on network 192.168.1.0/24 and slave AP located on remote network 192.168.2.0/2). On the remote network, the admin can set DHCP option 43 using the GWN70xx router as the following value: encap:43,224,”192.168.1.100”.
Notes:
The slave AP has the option ”Allow DHCP Option 43 to override GWN Manager Address” enabled by default.
With some DHCP servers or network environments, adding an FF byte at the end of the DHCP Option 43 HEX string may be required. Please refer to your DHCP server’s documentation or vendor guidelines for details.
Option 43 Override
After that, the slave AP will be listed on the master AP discovered devices and ready for the pairing and provisioning process, which is described in the next steps.
To pair a GWN76XX access point connected to the same Network as the GWN76XX, follow the steps below:
1. Connect to the GWN76xx Web GUI as Master and go to Access Points → Configuration.
Discover and Pair GWN76XX
2. Click on “Discover” button to discover access points within the GWN76xx Network, and the following page will appear.
Discovered Devices
3. Click on Pair “Link icon” under Actions to pair the discovered access point as a slave with the GWN76xx acting as the Master.
The paired GWN76XX access point will appear online, and users can click on to unpair it.
GWN76XX Online
If a GWN76XX is not being discovered or the pair icon is grey color, make sure that it is not being paired with another GWN76XX Access Point acting as Master Controller. If yes, users will need to unpair it first, or reset it to factory default settings to make it available for pairing by other GWN76XX Access Point Controller
AP Location
GWN76xx supports a handy feature that allows users to locate other Access points by blinking the LED. To use the feature, navigate to the master web GUI under “Access Points → Status” page and click on the icon near the desired AP, and its corresponding unit will start blinking the LEDs.
Transfer AP – Transfer Network Group
Users can easily transfer the AP from the local master to the GDMS Networking or GWN Manager account by clicking on When you already have Network/Wi-Fi configurations on your GWN account, using this feature will let you choose an existing Network/SSID to adopt your local AP.
Navigate to AP Web UI → Access Points → Configuration page, please refer to the figure below:
Access points configuration page
Then select where to transfer the selected AP, either GDMS Networking or GWN Manager.
Transfer AP
After this step, you will be redirected to the GDMS Networking/GWN Manager page, select the network, and click on the “Save” button to complete the transfer.
GDMS Networking Select Network
This feature will allow you to transfer your local configurations to your cloud account. For more details, please refer to the GDMS Networking – User Guide.
Failover Master
In a Master-Slave architecture, having a backup Master is critical for redundancy and failover function; thus, to avoid a single point of failure in your wireless network, you can specify a slave AP as a failover master. Whenever it detects the master is down, it will promote itself as the failover master within a time frame of around 20~30 minutes by entering failover mode. After that, if the master AP comes back, the failover master will automatically go back to slave mode, or if the master does not come back to alive, the Administrator can log in using the “failover” account to turn the failover master into a true master and take over all controls.
Failover Master
Users could select the Failover Master by following below steps:
Log into Web GUI of the Master access point then navigate to Access points → Configuration then click on and finally select the candidate access point from the drop-down list to be used as a Failover AP.
Failover AP
Failover Mode
Once the Failover slave has been selected, the primary master will send the configuration of the network to the Failover slave, and the slave will start monitoring the status of the primary master to detect any failure for any reason (network connection loss, power outage).
In case of failure, the Failover slave will promote itself to a temporary backup master while waiting for the primary master to come back.
During the Failover mode, users could access the web GUI of the Failover slave using a special Failover account with the same admin password.
Username = failover
Password = admin password
Failover Mode GUI
The Failover mode has only read permission on the configuration and limited options; users still can reboot other slave Access points in case it is needed.
Users can also press on « Switch to Master » button to set the Failover slave as the new primary master of the wireless network. Once this is done, they have full write permission control over the web GUI option as usual. Use that button to switch to master and takeover the rest of the APs.
Important notes
If you click « Switch to Master », this would be become a non-revertible behavior. Failover Slave will become actual master and the prior master cannot take back the control anymore.
When Failover Slave is switched to Master, you will use the Prior Master AP credentials: username: admin, and the admin password.
Otherwise, when original master comes back online, then Failover Slave will become slave again to prior original Master.
Takeover Feature
This feature is used to re-pair the slave APs whose master has gone offline with another master AP in the same subnet. Please follow the steps to takeover slave APs from another master:
Step 1. Log in to the Web GUI of Master and click on “Discover APs” on the Access Points Page.
Takeover Step 1
Step 2. Select the one or multiple APs to be taken over then click on the “takeover” button of the target AP.
Takeover Step 2
Step 3. Enter the Takeover key, which is the admin password of the previous master AP.
Takeover Step 3
Transfer to Master
From the Master Access Point, the Administrator does have the capability to assign any Slave Access Point to become the new Master to manage all the already paired Access points.
Navigate to Web UI → Access Points → Status, refer to the figure below:
Switch to Master
Click on button, the following warning message will prompt to confirm the procedure:
Transfer Master Role to another device confirmation message
When the process is finished, the original Master will become a slave for the new Assigned Master, and to log in to the new Master AP web interface, you will need to use the previous Master Admin password.
The new assigned Master AP web interface
Note
All the previously existed paired APs will be provisioned with the new Master AP.
The Switch to Master option is unlimited action and does not require any reset for the already paired APs.
Client Bridge
The Client Bridge feature allows an access point to act as a wireless bridge and connect the wired-only clients to the wireless network. When an access point is configured in this way, it will share the Wi-Fi connection to the LAN ports directly. This is not to be confused with a mesh setup. The configured AP will not accept wireless clients in this mode.
Once an SSID has the Client Bridge Support enabled, the AP adopted in this SSID can be turned into Bridge Client mode by click the then the Bridge button .
Please note that once an AP is turned into Client Bridge mode, it cannot be controlled by a Master anymore, and a factory reset is required to turn it back into normal AP mode.
Client Bridge
Client Bridge
To verify, you may access the bridged AP configuration, then under Status, the option “Client Bridge Mode” would be set to Isolated as shown in the figure below:
Client Bridge Mode
Important notes
The access point that will be operating on bridge mode, must be set with a fixed IP address before activating the bridge mode on the access point.
Users must enable client bridge support option under SSID or SSID Wi-Fi settings in order to have it fully functional.
The Client Bridge requires the SSID to not have any VLAN ID enabled
USING GWN76xx AS SLAVE ACCESS POINT
GWN access points can be paired as a slave to a master; this master can be another GWN access point, GWN router, or GDMS Networking/GWN Manager.
Slave Mode allows the users to access specific service and system settings.

The SSID default password is already pre-configured with the WP phone.
Relay Wi-Fi (Wireless Extension) allows the access point to use an existing Wi-Fi network as its uplink instead of a wired Ethernet connection. In this mode, the AP joins another Wi-Fi network as a client, then continues to broadcast its own SSIDs (Wi-Fi) for local users.
This is useful when:
There is no Ethernet cabling available at the installation point.
The building provides only a shared Wi-Fi SSID (for example from a landlord or ISP router).
You need temporary coverage for events, booths, or remote areas that are in Wi-Fi range but not in cabling range.
The upstream AP is a different vendor and cannot participate in Mesh, but you still need additional coverage.
Note:
Relay WiFi (Wireless Extension) is supported only on model GWN7674.
Relay Wi-Fi overview
Relay Wi-Fi is configured from: Wi-Fi → Relay WiFi
When you first enable Wireless Extension, a notice is displayed explaining the limitations of this mode. Only a subset of functions remains available:
Access point configuration (except port aggregation)
After configuration is complete, the AP should be connected only for power (using PoE++). The Ethernet data link between this AP and the upstream wireless device must not be used; all data traffic will flow over the wireless uplink.

Choosing the extension method
Relay Wi-Fi supports two ways to select the upstream Wi-Fi:
Scanning (Site Survey): the AP scans for nearby Wi-Fi networks and you choose one from the list.
Manual: you manually enter the SSID and its security settings.
Both methods result in the AP joining the selected Wi-Fi network as a client.
Configuring Relay Wi-Fi using Scanning (Site Survey)
Under Extension Method, select Scanning.
Click Site Survey.
A progress panel appears indicating that the AP is scanning for visible Wi-Fi networks. While the scan is in progress, the page displays a warning such as:
Do not switch pages during scanning or a re-scan will be required. Searching for Wi-Fi. Please wait…
Configuring Relay Wi Fi using Scanning Site Survey
When the scan finishes, a table lists all detected SSIDs. Typical columns include:
MAC Address (BSSID) of the upstream AP
SSID name
SSID Band (2.4G / 5G / 6G)
Signal strength (dBm)
Whether the SSID is Hidden
Security Mode (for example Open, WPA2, WPA3)
You can:
Filter by band (All / 2.4G / 5G / 6G)
Search by SSID or MAC address using the search box
In the Actions column, click Connect for the Wi-Fi network you want to use as uplink.
If the network is secured, enter the correct Wi-Fi password when prompted and confirm.
Configuring Relay Wi Fi using Scanning Site Survey
After successful authentication, the AP establishes a wireless link to the selected network and begins using it as its uplink.
Configuring Relay Wi-Fi using Manual settings
Manual mode is useful when the upstream SSID is hidden or when you want to specify the BSSID directly.
Under Extension Method, select Manual.
Fill in the fields:
SSID: the name of the upstream Wi-Fi network.
BSSID: (optional) the MAC address of the specific AP to connect to, if you want to lock the uplink to one radio.
SSID Band: select the band (2.4G / 5G / 6G) used by the uplink network.
Security Mode: choose the security type that matches the upstream SSID (for example WPA2 or WPA3).
Password: enter the Wi-Fi password when security is enabled.
Click Save to apply.
Configuring Relay Wi Fi using Manual settings
The AP will attempt to connect to the specified Wi-Fi using the settings provided. If the password or parameters are incorrect, the status will indicate that the connection failed.
Verifying Relay Wi-Fi connection status
When the uplink connection succeeds, the Relay WiFi page shows a simplified view of the current state:
Wireless Extension remains enabled.
Status shows Connected (or a similar state if the uplink is down).
The SSID field displays the name of the uplink Wi-Fi network currently in use.
The Modify button allows you to change the configuration (for example to switch to another SSID or method).
Verifying Relay Wi Fi connection status
At this point, the AP continues to broadcast its own SSIDs for clients, but instead of forwarding traffic over Ethernet, it uses the wireless uplink created by Relay Wi-Fi.
Confirming wireless uplink on the Status page
To verify that the AP is operating with a wireless uplink:
Ensure the Ethernet data cable between the AP and the upstream wireless device is disconnected. Power can still be supplied by a PoE++ injector or a switch with PoE++ support.
Go to Access Points → Status and open the Info page for the AP.
In Relay Wi-Fi mode you can typically observe:
Extended Mode is shown as Enabled.
Link Speed for the wired interfaces (for example NET1/10G and NET2/2.5G) appears asDisconnected, confirming there is no active wired uplink.
Radio status entries (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz / 6 GHz) remain Enabled, indicating that the AP continues to serve client devices normally over its own SSIDs.
Confirming wireless uplink on the Status page
In this state, all user traffic flows from clients → AP SSIDs → wireless uplink → upstream Wi-Fi network. Features that rely on a wired backhaul (such as VLAN trunking, bridge/NAT roles, captive portal or Mesh) remain unavailable, while basic Wi-Fi access and access control continue to function.

The timed client disconnect feature allows the system administrator to set a fixed time for which clients should be allowed to connect to the access point, after which the client will no longer be allowed to connect until the user-configurable cool-down period is reached.
The configuration is based on a policy where the administrator can set the amount of time for which clients are allowed to connect to the Wi-Fi. The administrator can also set the reconnect type and value for the users to reconnect after they have been disconnected.
To create a new policy, go under Captive Portal → Time Policy and add new one.
Then set the following parameters:
Option

Client Reconnect Timeout Type
Select the method with which we will reset a client’s connection timer so they may reconnect again. Options are: Reset Daily. Reset Weekly. Reset Hourly. Timed Reset.
Client Reconnect Timeout
If “Timed Reset” is selected, this is the period for which the client will have to wait before reconnecting.
Day of the Week
If “Reset Weekly” is selected, this is the day when the reset will be applied.
Hour of the Day
If “Reset Weekly” or “Reset Daily” is selected, this is the hour and day when the reset will be applied.
Time Policy Parameters
Note:
Time tracking shall be accounted for on a per-policy basis, such that a client connected to any SSID assigned the time tracking policy will accrue a common counter, regardless of which SSID they are connected to (as long as those SSIDs all share the same time tracking policy).
Banned Clients
The clients that have been banned after time disconnect feature has taken effect, these clients will not be allowed to connect back until timeout reset or you can unblock a client by clicking on the icon.

MAC-Based RADIUS
When enabled, the client’s MAC address is used as both the RADIUS username and password for pre-portal authentication. If the RADIUS server verifies and confirms the presence of the client’s MAC address in its database, the client is automatically authenticated. This simplifies the authentication process by allowing devices to bypass manual credential input during initial connection.
Note: supported only GWN7670.
Enable HTTPS Redirection
When enabled, both HTTP and HTTPS requests from client devices are redirected using the HTTPS protocol. However, users may encounter an invalid certificate error during HTTPS browsing before authentication. If disabled, only HTTP requests will be redirected, ensuring a smoother user experience for HTTPS traffic prior to authentication.
Enable Secure Portal
When enabled, the communication between the client (STA) and the access point (AP) will use the HTTPS protocol, ensuring secure data transmission. If disabled, the communication will fall back to the less secure HTTP protocol.
Policy List – External
In case social media authentication is used, the user needs to allow some traffic between the AP and social medial platforms (Facebook API as example) to send authentication credentials and receive reply, this traffic can be allowed using the Authentication rules which are explained below.
Authentication rules
Pre-Authentication Rules
Using this option, users can set rules to match traffic that will be allowed for connected Wi-Fi users before the authentication process. For example, if users need to set up Facebook authentication, some traffic should be allowed to the Facebook server(s) to process the user’s authentication. Or simply used to allow some type of traffic for unauthenticated users.
Post-Authentication Rules
On the other hand, post authentication rules are used to match traffic that will be banned for Wi-Fi clients after authentication. As an example, if you want to disallow connected Wi-Fi clients to issue Telnet or SSH traffic after authentication then you can set post authentication rules to match that traffic and once a connected client passes the authentication process they will be banned from issuing telnet and SSH connections.
Splash Page
Files configuration page allows users to view and upload HTML pages and related files (images…).

Vouchers
Voucher Feature Description
Voucher feature will allow clients to have internet access for a limited duration using a code that is randomly generated from GWN controller.
Note that multiple users can use a single voucher for connection with expiration duration of the voucher that starts counting after first successful connection from one of the users that are allowed.
Another interesting feature is that the administrators can set data bandwidth limitation on each created voucher depending on the current load on the network, users’ profile (VIP customers get more speed than regular ones…etc.) and the internet connection available (fiber, DSL, or cable…etc.) to avoid network congestion and slowness of the service.
Each created voucher can be printed and served to the customers for usage, and the limit is 1000 vouchers.
The usage of voucher feature needs to be combined with captive portal that is explained after this section, in order to have the portal page requesting clients to enter voucher code for authentication.
Voucher Configuration
To configure/create vouchers for clients to use, follow below steps:
On controller web GUI, navigate under “CaptivePortal 🡪 Vouchers”
Click on button in order to add a new voucher.
Enter voucher details which are explained on the next table.
Press save to create the voucher(s).
Notes:
Users can specify how many vouchers to generate with the same profile, this way the GWN will generate as many vouchers as needed with the same settings to avoid creating them one by one.
The administrators can verify the status of each voucher on the list (In use, not used, expired …etc.).
Press to print the voucher, to delete it or to renew the voucher.
Add Voucher Sample
The figure below shows the list of vouchers after GWN randomly generates the code for each one.
Vouchers List
Users can click on buttons and to delete and print multiple vouchers or click button to print all vouchers at once.

RADIO
When using GWN76XX as a Master Access Point, users can edit the frequency band used by the AP and channel used, along with the Transmission power for each band.
Log in as Master to the GWN76XX Web GUI and go to Radio.
Note:
For model GWN7674, the Radio page is located under the left-side “Wi-Fi” menu (Wi-Fi > Radio). The radio configuration options are the same; only the menu location is different for this model.
Radio
General
Band Steering
Band Steering helps redirect dual-band and tri-band clients to the most appropriate radio band (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz, depending on what the access point supports) to improve performance and spectrum utilization.
Four options are available:
Disable Band steering: Disables band steering and the access point accepts the band chosen by the client.
2G in Priority: Tri-band / dual-band clients are steered to the 2.4 GHz band when possible.
5G in Priority: Tri-band / dual-band clients are steered to the 5 GHz band when possible.
6G in Priority: Tri-band clients are steered to the 6 GHz band when available, taking advantage of the wider spectrum.
Balance: The access point balances client connections across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands based on spectrum utilization.
Note: It is recommended to enable Voice Enterprise on SSIDs that use Band Steering for better roaming and steering behavior.
Client Steering
This feature will help Wi-Fi clients to roam to other APs within the same Network.
Note: Once enabled, Band Steering in Access Device → Configuration → Configure cannot be configured. SSID→Wifi Settings→802.11k will be enabled
RSSI Threshold (dBm)
This option is only available if Client Steering is enabled.
Specify the RSSI Threshold before clients get steered away to another AP.
Note:Must be an integer between -80 and -65.
Client Access Threshold
This option is only available if Client Steering is enabled.
Specify the Client Access Threshold before the AP won’t accept clients and they will be steer away to another AP with less connected clients.
Note: Must be an integer between 10 and 100.
Airtime Fairness
Allow faster clients to have more airtime than slower clients.
Beacon Interval
Configure the beacon period， which decides the frequency the 802.11 beacon management frames AP transmits. Please input integrates from 40 to 500.
When AP enables 0-2 SSIDs, the interval value will be effective are the values from 40 to 500.
When AP enables 3-8 SSIDs, the interval value will be effective are the values from 100 to 500.
When AP enables more than 8 SSIDs, the interval value will be effective are the values from 200 to 500.
Note: mesh feature will take up a share when it is enabled.
Enable Schedule
Configure a schedule for when the Wi-Fi will be ON or Off, by default is disable or the user can enable it and select a shedule form the drop-down list or use radio settings.
Fast SSID Build
When enabled and there are fewer than 8 SSIDs on the access point, creating or deleting SSIDs takes effect more quickly. This setting controls how fast the AP rebuilds SSIDs and can inherit the value from the radio settings. Note: This feature is not supported on SSIDs using MLO or WPA2/WPA3 with PPSK without RADIUS. This option is only available on model GWN7674 under Wi-Fi → Radio.
Country/Region
Display the country/region of the AP.
Note: To configure the country/Region, Navigate to System → Settings page.
Scene
Configure whether to disable/enable 5.150–5.350GHz (channels 36-64) for outdoor usage.
Note: The “Scene” is only effective for the outdoor type of access points.
2.4G/5G/6G (802.11b/g/n/ac/ax/be)
Channel Width
Choose the Channel Width, note that a wider channel will give better speed/throughput, and a narrow channel will have less interference. 20MHz is suggested in a very high-density environment.
40MHz Channel Location
Configure the 40MHz channel location when using 20MHz/40MHz in Channel Width, users can set it to be Secondary below Primary, Primary below Secondary or Auto.
Channel
Select the working channel for this radio. The available channels depend on the selected band (e.g., 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz, depending on the model) and the configured regulatory domain.
Auto: The access point evaluates the RF environment and selects an appropriate channel (from the allowed list) only once specifically when the radio starts or when the configuration is applied. The channel remains static during normal operation.
Dynamically Assigned by RRM: The access point uses Radio Resource Management (RRM) to continuously evaluate RF conditions. It adjusts the channel in real-time to reduce interference and minimize channel overlap without requiring a reboot.
Note: If the device is connected through a wireless Mesh, the channel may be determined by the mesh backhaul, and this setting might not take effect.
Default is Auto.
Channel Scan
Controls how the radio performs channel scanning for RRM when Channel is set to Dynamically Assigned by RRM.
Enable: Continuously scans the current working channel to collect RF information. This may cause brief interruptions and can disconnect connected clients.
Auto: Scans only when no clients are connected to the radio and stops scanning when a client is connected, reducing impact on active clients.
Schedule: Performs channel scanning only during the configured schedule period.
Note: This option is currently available only on model GWN7674.
Schedule
Select the time profile during which channel scanning is allowed when Channel Scan is set to Schedule. The radio will perform channel scanning only within the selected time period (for example, during off-peak or maintenance hours).
Note: This option is currently available only on model GWN7674 and is displayed only when Channel Scan is set to Schedule.
Custom Channel
Select the list of allowed channels for this radio. The available choices depend on the band (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz) and regulatory domain. When Channel is set to Auto or Dynamically Assigned by RRM, the access point will choose the working channel only from the channels selected here. Multiple selections are possible.
Radio Power
Set the Radio Power depending on the application, distance, and desired cell size. Options available typically include: “Low“, “Medium“, “High“, “Custom“, “Dynamically Assigned by RRM“, and “Auto“.
Auto: The access point calculates and applies the most suitable transmission power only once—upon device boot-up or when a configuration change is applied. The power level remains static thereafter.
Dynamically Assigned by RRM: The access point uses Radio Resource Management (RRM) to continuously monitor the RF environment. It actively adjusts the transmission power in real-time to optimize coverage and mitigate interference as environmental conditions change.
The default is “High“
Enable Short Guard Interval
Check to activate this option to increase throughput.
Allow Legacy Devices(802.11b)
Check to support 802.11b devices to connect the AP in 802.11n/g mode. (2.4GHz setting).
Enable Minimum RSSI
Configure whether to enable/disable Minimum RSSI function. This option can be either Disabled or Enabled and set manually or set to Use Radio Settings.
Minimum Access Rate Limit
Specify whether to limit the minimum access rate for clients. This function may guarantee the connection quality between clients and AP. This option can be either Disabled or Enabled and set manually or set to Use Radio Settings.

DHCP Server
Users could create and manage multiple DHCP server pools which will be mapped to the SSID using VLAN tag, for example when creating a DHCP pool under “SystemSettings 🡪 DHCPServer” users need to set a VLAN ID and the same ID should be set under the SSID field to map the configured DHCP pool with the SSID. This way users could configure multiple SSIDs mapped to multiple VLANs on the network in which case they are isolated by layer 2 switching.
The table below summarizes the configuration parameters for DHCP server.

DHCP Relay
DHCP Relay is a network device that forwards IP addresses from the DHCP Server to client devices, even if the DHCP server is on a different network (ex, VLAN). This way, we can have a dedicated DHCP server on many networks. GWN access points can be configured as a DHCP relay agent. Please follow the steps below:
Prerequisite: Before configuring DHCP Relay, first we have to assign a static IP address to both devices that will be acting as a DHCP Server and DHCP Relay. In our case, it’s two GWN76xx Access Points.
The first step in our example is to make a GWN access point as a DHCP Server, please refer to DHCP Server configuration.
Navigate to Web UI → Access Points → Configuration, click on the access point or click on the “Edit” icon, then the device configuration window will show up. Set a static IP for both access points (one acting as a DHCP Server and the other one as a DHCP Relay), please refer to the figure below.
Setting up a static IP
3. To configure DHCP Relay, please navigate to GWN access point Web UI → Service → DHCP Server → DHCP Relay tab, then enable DHCP Relay and then enter the DHCP Server Address (ex, GWN access point).

TR-069
Notes:
1. Restrictions:
Both Master and Slave (regardless of whether it has been taken over by GDMS Networking/Local Master) support the TR-069 function, and you can go to their respective local web terminal to open TR-069 and make related configurations.
If the Slave under the GDMS Networking it will be disconnected from the Cloud. The AP can still show on the Cloud, but it is not manageable (similar to the AP taken over by the Master can be added to the Cloud); if the Slave is under the Local Master, the connection with the Local Master will be disconnected, and the Master will no longer show this AP.
2. Failover does not support the TR-069 function. When multiple slaves are managed under a Local Master, set a slave to failover mode. When the Master fails, the slave acts as the Master to manage other slaves. At this time, if you want to migrate to the TR-069 platform, you can only configure TR-069 for each of the other Slaves through their own local web pages. So, they need to be migrated one by one, and APs in Failover mode cannot be migrated. (After the failover master gets transferred into the official master, by the admin to log in and confirm, there will be no such restriction anymore).
3. Master supports the migration of the whole setup, including its slaves, to TR-069, and the behavior is irreversible. If the Master turns on TR-069, all online Slave APs it controls will be migrated to the TR-069 platform, and the Master’s identity will also be changed to Slave. In this process, you need to ensure the TR-069 configuration information, especially the ACS URL is configured correctly; otherwise, the migration will fail, and all AP roles remain unchanged, and the function does not affect the use.
4. If a slave is offline, it will not be migrated to TR-069. After it goes online again, it will not be migrated to the TR-069 platform either. It is still in the state of being taken over by the original Master, but is no longer managed by the Master. It cannot be managed by Cloud, but can only be taken over by other Masters or factory reset.
5. APs managed by TR-069 can be “Take Over” by Local Master. After Taken Over, TR-069 shuts down by itself, and the Local Master issues the configuration to the AP to overwrite the original configuration from TR-069. This process will take a certain amount of time.
6. An AP under TR-069 will be disconnected from TR-069 by itself after the TR-069 function is turned off on the AP’s local web UI, but it will not affect its function use and can continue to be taken over by Master/GDMS Networking.
L2TPv3
L2TPv3 (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol version 3) is a versatile protocol widely utilized for tunneling Layer 2 traffic over IP networks. When implemented on GWN Access Points acting as L2TP Access Concentrators (LACs) connecting to a central L2TP Network Server (LNS), it enables seamless and secure communication for wireless clients.
L2TPv3 Diagram
GWN Access Points, known for their reliability and performance, act as LACs and establish tunnels to the LNS, facilitating the encapsulation and transmission of all wireless clients’ Layer 2 traffic. This architecture proves particularly beneficial in centralized network models where VLANs extend from corporate environments to remote branch sites.
By leveraging L2TPv3, wireless clients associated with GWN Access Points are seamlessly integrated into the corporate network infrastructure. They receive IP addresses dynamically from the DHCP server hosted on the LNS, ensuring efficient network resource allocation and management.
This integration empowers organizations with scalable and secure wireless connectivity solutions, optimized for various deployment scenarios. Whether for small businesses or enterprise environments, the utilization of L2TPv3 on GWN Access Points offers a robust framework for extending network capabilities while maintaining high levels of performance and security.
Note:
This feature is only supported on GWN7660(LR), GWN7664(LR), GWN7661 and GWN7662.
To add a L2TPv3 tunnel, navigate to GWN76xx web UI → Service → L2TPv3, then click on “Add” button as shown below:

Mesh
A Mesh Network creates a seamless wireless connection between multiple APs (Access Points), enabling efficient data traffic routing across the network. Instead of focusing on direct client association, the network leverages the capabilities of each AP to dynamically optimize connectivity. By continuously evaluating wireless channel performance, each AP intelligently selects optimal connections to maintain robust and efficient communication.
Types of Access Points in a Mesh Network
CAP (Central Access Point): An access point with an uplink connection to the wired network.
RE (Range Extender): An access point participating in the mesh network topology with a wireless uplink connection to the central network.
Mesh overview
Deploying Mesh Access Points (REs)
Prepare the CAP Access Point:
Ensure the CAP access point are deployed and operational. The CAP can also act as the master controller of the network.
Pair RE Access Points with the CAP:
Connect all REs to the same wired LAN (same VLAN) as the master.
Perform the discovery and pairing process through the CAP’s interface.
After pairing, deploy the REs in their respective locations to complete the setup.
Configure Global Mesh Settings:
On GWN76XX, navigate to System → Settings → Mesh and configure the following parameters:
Note:
For model GWN7674, the Mesh page is located under the left-side “Wi-Fi” menu (Wi-Fi > Mesh). The Mesh configuration options are the same; only the menu location is different for this model.
Mesh Configuration
Field
Description
Enable Mesh
Activates the Mesh feature.
Default is disabled.
Scan Interval
Interval in minutes to scan for available Mesh neighbors.
Must be an integer between 1 and 5.
Interface
Configures the wireless band used for Mesh backhaul connections between access points. Depending on the device model and its hardware capabilities, one or more of the following options may be available:
2.4 GHz
5 GHz
6 GHz
2.4 GHz & 5 GHz
5 GHz & 6 GHz
Notes:
The actual options displayed in the Web UI depend on the specific model and its supported radios.
6 GHz options are available only on models that support 6 GHz (for example Wi-Fi 7 models such as GWN7674). These models can use 6 GHz as a standalone Mesh band or in combination with 5 GHz.
For best Mesh performance, it is recommended to use access points with similar radio capabilities and to configure the same Mesh band on all Mesh members.
Higher-frequency bands (such as 5 GHz and 6 GHz) generally provide higher throughput but shorter range, while 2.4 GHz is primarily useful for compatibility and extended coverage and may limit overall Mesh throughput if used in the backhaul path.
When different bands or band combinations are used in the same Mesh topology, the overall performance is typically constrained by the slowest link in the Mesh path.
Wireless Cascades
Defines the number of APs that can be cascaded wirelessly.
Must be an integer between 1 and 3.
Mesh configuration on GWN76XX
Manage the Mesh Network: Once deployed and paired, manage all slave access points (REs) through the master (CAP). Access the “Access Points” page on the CAPs’s interface:
APs in the “Online Wireless” state are REs with a wireless uplink to a CAP.
APs in the “Online” state are connected via a wired link.
Mesh Online Wireless
Notes:
When Mesh is enabled, the number of SSIDs in the same VLAN cannot exceed 5.
Verify that no DHCP server is active or connected to the AP to prevent potential conflicts.
For more detailed information about the GWN Mesh network feature, refer to the “Mesh Network Guide.”
Mesh Configuration with GWN7660EM
The GWN7660EM supports mesh networking with GWN routers (GWN7062E(T)) and wireless access points (GWN76XX series). Follow the corresponding procedure below depending on the device used for mesh connection.
Mesh with Router GWN7062E(T)
Step 1: Factory Reset State Ensure that the GWN7660EM is in a factory reset state. The SYS LED should display solid pink.
Step 2: Device Placement Connect the GWN7660EM to the router using an Ethernet cable, or place it close to the router without connecting via cable.
Step 3: Trigger Mesh Scanning On the router, either press and hold the SYNC button for 3 seconds or log in to the router’s Web GUI to start scanning for mesh sub-nodes. If the GWN7660EM is detected, its SYS LED will begin blinking pink.
Step 4: Initiate Mesh Pairing When the GWN7660EM is used wirelessly as a mesh access point (no Ethernet cable connected to the router), press and hold the SYNC button for 3 seconds to start mesh pairing. Once initiated, the SYS LED will blink pink, then turn solid pink while the mesh link is being established.
However, when the GWN7660EM is connected to the router using an Ethernet cable, it will operate as a wired access point and manual mesh setup is not required. In this case, do not press the SYNC button, as the device will connect through the wired uplink automatically.
Step 5: Confirm Mesh Status
Solid Blue: Mesh pairing completed successfully. During the pairing process, it is normal for the LED to temporarily display pink, yellow, or blue. After approximately 2 minutes, the LED will stabilize to solid blue, indicating a successful mesh connection.
Solid Red: Mesh pairing failed. After approximately 30 seconds, the router LED will revert to solid blue, and the GWN7660EM LED will revert to solid pink, indicating that the device has stopped the pairing attempt.
Note
For more detailed instructions on mesh configuration with routers, please refer to the GWN7062E/ET User Manual.
Mesh with Access Point (GWN76XX Series)
Step 1: Factory Reset State Ensure that the GWN7660EM is in a factory reset state. The SYS LED should display solid pink.
Step 2: Start Scanning for APs Press the SYNC button once. The SYS LED will begin blinking cyan, indicating that the device is scanning for nearby APs with mesh functionality enabled. If the user has a specific target AP, place the GWN7660EM close to the target AP that has mesh option enabled before initiating the mesh operation. The GWN7660EM will automatically select the AP with the strongest signal for pairing. When both 2.4GHz and 5GHz devices are available, the 5GHz connection will be prioritized. Once the connection is successfully established, the SYS LED turns solid cyan, and the GWN7660EM will be connected in the mesh network.
Step 3: Take Over via Master AP Log in to the Master AP within the same local network, and use the “Search AP” function to discover and take over or link the GWN7660EM. The Master AP will synchronize its configuration to the GWN7660EM. During this process, the SYS LED will blink blue.
Step 4: Confirm Mesh Status When the mesh setup is successful, the SYS LED will turn solid blue. It is normal to see LED truns yellow before the mesh is completed.
Note
If you want to mesh the GWN7660EM with a specific AP, place it close to the target AP before starting the mesh operation.
