Grandstream GWN troubleshooting from the knowledge base: Wi-Fi performance, AP pairing, mesh and switch protection
Use Grandstream's own troubleshooting guide and FAQs to fix GWN networks: weak signal, interference, congestion and low data rates, clients that can't connect or can't reach resources, AP LEDs and pairing failures, factory resets and GDMS Networking binding, master failover, mesh hop and RE limits, and switch safeguards such as loop protection, Port Auto Recovery, DHCP snooping and storm control.

Skills you'll practise
- Separate Wi-Fi signal, interference, congestion and data-rate problems and choose the GWN setting that addresses each
- Decide whether a 'Wi-Fi problem' is really a wired, DHCP or DNS problem
- Read GWN76xx LED states and work through Grandstream's checklist for an AP that won't pair
- Factory reset a GDMS Networking-managed AP so it doesn't receive its old configuration back
- Plan mesh within Grandstream's hop and RE limits and estimate throughput per hop
- Protect GWN switches with loop detection, DHCP snooping and storm control, and configure them from the platform
