Master your Wi-Fi: Explore the Grandstream GWN7062E Wi-Fi 6 Mesh router

For this week’s Tech Tuesday, we are looking at a device that puts you in full control of your network, giving you the tools to manage security, content, bandwidth, and even mesh coverage with ease.

The Grandstream GWN7062E Wi-Fi 6 mesh router delivers fast and reliable connectivity while offering built-in security features that make protecting your network simple and effective. Thanks to its mesh capabilities, you can extend coverage seamlessly across a larger home or small business without sacrificing performance or stability. Plus, it comes with a 3-year standard warranty for long-term peace of mind and dependable performance.

Powerful security made simple

Log into the device’s web interface and navigate to Advanced > Security > Security Firewall.

Here, you can enable Basic Security Defence and Content Security Detection to add a strong layer of protection. The Defence Statistics section gives you real-time insight into any blocked or suspicious activity on your network, allowing you to see which devices attempted to access restricted sites.

Content control that actually works

The Content Control menu gives you extensive options for managing what is allowed on your network:

  • URL filtering: Block specific websites such as Facebook, YouTube, or TikTok. This works for traditional PC and device-based access control.
  • URL classification filtering: Block entire categories such as adult content, phishing, or hacking sites. This is easy to set up and requires no technical expertise.
  • Application filtering: Block specific apps by category, including gaming, entertainment, social, work, study, and more. Parents can restrict access to Roblox or TikTok, and small businesses or guesthouses can limit bandwidth-heavy apps. Once an application or URL is blocked on the device, the block to connected devices is virtually instantaneous.

A practical example

Imagine running a bed and breakfast in a remote area with LTE internet. Your guests can connect to Wi-Fi, but one person streaming in 4K should not slow the network down for everyone else. Using the GWN7062E, you can restrict high-bandwidth applications while keeping essential browsing and messaging open. And thanks to its mesh functionality, you can easily place a second GWN-series access point to boost coverage to all rooms without complicated cabling or setup.

You can also add your GWN7062E device to the GS Home app, available on iOS and Android. Setup takes less than a minute and lets you manage your mesh network and controls directly from your phone.

This is a really impressive piece of equipment that currently retails for less than R1300 including VAT.

Final verdict

The Grandstream GWN7062E proves that powerful mesh networking and strong security do not have to be complicated or expensive. Whether you are a small business, a parent, or an IT professional, this Wi-Fi 6 mesh router gives you real control, instant protection, wider coverage, and complete visibility.
