Was looking for a solid wired router to load-balance my multiple WAN connections, and came across this unit: https://fgtechstore.com/product/grandstream-gwn7003/.
Thought hard about ER-X, Hex-S, Grandstream GWN7002 and this one before finally pulling the trigger.
Due to lack of reviews online and here, was a bit skeptical at first but after talking to few forum members, thought that will give fgtechstore a go.
They shipped using Shree Tirupati Courier, from Nehru Place, Delhi. Packing was adequate (I chose the free shipping option). Arrived in Pune 3 days after placing the order.
The router itself has very nice UI, loads of features, performs well so far. I am not a heavy user.
The physical ports are what made me go for this particular unit: 9 gigabit ports that can be configured as LAN/WAN, 2 SFP (2.5G) ports that can also be configured as LAN/WAN. I might someday ditch the ONUs and get SFP Sticks.
As I was planning to use existing 12V 2A Router UPS, power input was crucial for me but everywhere (datasheet, manual) it mentioned 24V 1A input. Found one youtuber who reviewed this unit, and while showing the ports he mentioned 12-24V as written near the DC In Jack. I can now confirm that it works with 12V 2A router UPS. The physical port is standard 5.5x2.1mm DC Barrel jack. Please note: even though the router supports POE Out on ports 1 and 2, I am not using it, so your mileage may vary with the 12V router UPS.
