Description
Running a compact office, retail location, or small hybrid workspace and need reliable power for your IP phones, Wi-Fi access points, security cameras, and other devices without overspending? The Grandstream GWN7802P Pro is the perfect fit. This Layer 2++ managed switch gives you 16 Gigabit PoE ports (with 4 ports delivering full PoE++ up to 60W) and a solid 250W total budget plus two ultra-fast 10G SFP+ uplinks—everything you need for smooth VoIP calls, video streaming, and cloud applications in one compact, rack-mountable unit.
The Telecom Spot Expert Review
The GWN7802P Pro is our top recommendation for locations with 10–20 PoE devices where you need a few high-power ports (PTZ cameras or advanced APs) but don’t need the full 24- or 48-port size. The 250W budget feels very generous in real-world use thanks to smart dynamic allocation and priority settings.
What we love:
- 4 dedicated PoE++ ports (60W) plus 12 PoE+ ports give you flexibility for mixed devices.
- Two 10G SFP+ uplinks give you blazing backbone speed without extra modules.
- Free lifetime GDMS cloud management means you can monitor everything from your phone.
Pro setup tip from our team: When mixing Yealink phones, Grandstream APs, and IP cameras, enable LLDP-MED and set port priorities in the WebUI (assign the 60W ports to your highest-power devices). It takes about 10 minutes and automatically protects your most important devices if you ever approach the 250W limit.
