Grandstream GWN7002 VPN Router | 6 Multi‑WAN Ports + 2x 2.5G SFP, 50 VPN Tunnels
Grandstream GWN7002: Fibre‑Ready Multi‑WAN VPN Router for SMEs
The Grandstream GWN7002 is a next‑generation Multi‑WAN Gigabit VPN router, purpose‑built for small‑to‑medium businesses that require high‑availability internet, robust security, and the ability to incorporate fibre‑optic uplinks. It delivers a powerful combination of wired routing, a built‑in firewall, comprehensive VPN capabilities, and centralised management of up to 150 Grandstream Wi‑Fi access points – all in a compact, fanless design.
Guaranteed Uptime with Load Balancing & Failover
Connect up to six internet sources simultaneously using its 2.5 Gigabit SFP fibre ports plus 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports, all of which can be configured as WAN or LAN. This allows you to mix fibre connections, DSL, cable, or 4G LTE, then apply intelligent load balancing to distribute traffic across links and automatic failover to instantly switch to a backup connection if the primary link fails. These features are essential for businesses that rely on uninterrupted VoIP calls, video conferencing, cloud apps, or online payment systems.
Enterprise‑Grade Firewall and Deep Packet Inspection
The GWN7002 includes a feature‑rich firewall with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) that identifies traffic at the application level, helping you monitor bandwidth usage and block unwanted applications. Security is further strengthened by URL/DNS/web content filtering, Anti‑DoS attack prevention, and configurable traffic rules. Together, these tools provide robust protection against external threats and help maintain a secure network environment.
High‑Performance VPN for Secure Remote Access
With support for up to 50 concurrent VPN tunnels, the GWN7002 enables secure connectivity for remote workers, branch offices, and partners. It offers versatile VPN protocols:
-
IPsec VPN (site‑to‑site and client‑to‑site) – ideal for branch‑to‑headquarters connectivity
-
SSL VPN – web‑based access for remote employees
-
PPTP – lightweight connections for low‑security applications
-
L2TP – often combined with IPsec for strong security
-
WireGuard – modern, high‑performance VPN protocol (pending implementation)
The router delivers 530 Mbps IPsec VPN throughput, sufficient for simultaneous secure conversations across distributed teams.
Advanced QoS & Traffic Management for VoIP
Built‑in Advanced QoS prioritises real‑time traffic such as VoIP, video conferencing, and online collaboration tools. You can classify traffic based on port, IP address, DSCP, or even application type (via App QoS) to ensure that your most critical services always receive the bandwidth they need. With VoIP prioritisation enabled, voice calls remain crystal‑clear even during peak usage hours. VLAN (802.1Q) support further allows you to segment your network for security and performance.
Integrated Wireless Controller for GWN Access Points
The GWN7002 includes a powerful embedded controller (accessible via a user‑friendly web interface) that can manage itself and up to 150 Grandstream GWN series Wi‑Fi access points – all without additional licensing or hardware. This capability makes it the perfect wired backbone for a complete Grandstream wireless network. For larger or multi‑site deployments, the free GDMS Networking cloud platform and on‑premise GWN Manager provide zero‑touch provisioning, firmware upgrades, real‑time monitoring, and troubleshooting from anywhere.
Flexible PoE Output & Fibre‑Ready Connectivity
Two of the Gigabit Ethernet ports support PoE output (IEEE 802.3af), allowing you to directly power compatible access points, IP cameras, or IP phones without extra power adapters – reducing cable clutter and simplifying installation. The two 2.5 Gigabit SFP ports let you connect fibre‑optic services, delivering high‑throughput, low‑latency connectivity ideal for organisations with demanding upstream requirements.
Easy Deployment & Global Compatibility
The GWN7002 can be positioned on a desktop or mounted on a wall using the included kit. It comes with a universal power adapter (100‑240VAC, 50‑60Hz) that works seamlessly on Pakistan‘s 220V/50Hz grid, and ships with a standard 1‑year limited warranty (extendable up to 3 years in some regions). Certified with FCC, CE, RCM, and IC, it is ready for deployment anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does the GWN7002 differ from the GWN7001 model? +
The GWN7002 replaces two of the standard Gigabit Ethernet ports (found on the GWN7001) with two 2.5 Gigabit SFP fibre ports. Additionally, two of its Gigabit Ethernet ports support IEEE 802.3af PoE output, allowing you to power GWN access points directly from the router. Both models share the same 256 MB RAM, 2.2 Gbps NAT routing, 530 Mbps IPsec VPN performance, and embedded controller capabilities.
Q2: What is a 2.5 Gigabit SFP port, and why would I need it? +
A 2.5 Gigabit SFP port is a fibre‑optic interface that supports both 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps speeds, providing significantly higher throughput and longer reach than traditional copper Ethernet. You would need it if your internet connection exceeds 1 Gbps, or if your router must be placed more than 100 metres away from the fibre termination point — common in campus or multi‑building deployments. It is also invaluable for connecting directly to fibre‑optic services without needing an external media converter.
Q3: Does the GWN7002 work with Pakistan’s 220V power supply? +
Yes. It includes a universal power adapter that accepts 100‑240VAC, 50‑60Hz, so it operates seamlessly on Pakistan‘s standard 220V/50Hz grid. The adapter outputs 12V DC, 1A (12W) and comes with an appropriate plug.
Q4: What security features does the GWN7002 offer? +
The GWN7002 provides a comprehensive security suite: a stateful firewall with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to identify and manage application‑level traffic; URL, DNS, and web content filtering to block inappropriate or dangerous content; Anti‑DoS (Denial‑of‑Service) protection against volumetric attacks; and flexible traffic rules for granular control. It also supports enterprise‑grade VPN protocols (IPsec, SSL, PPTP, L2TP) with strong encryption (AES, 3DES) and modern authentication methods (SHA‑2).
