Seamless Wi-Fi Roaming
Fast & Smooth Handover
- Switch between access points seamlessly with intelligent roaming support.
- Supports Over-the-DS (via wired backbone) and Over-the-Air handoffs for reliable connectivity during video calls, voice chats, and real-time applications.
Smarter Assisted Roaming
- Signal thresholds and AP steering help devices move to stronger APs and balance network loads.
- Enjoy stable performance across all devices, everywhere.
Always Optimized for Business
- From offices to campuses, seamless roaming ensures uninterrupted mobility.
- Reliable coverage built for the demands of modern workplaces.
WiFi Roaming
WiFi roaming is essential in environments with multiple APs to ensure consistent and reliable wireless connectivity. It enhances the wireless experience by addressing the sticky client issue and ensuring smooth WiFi roaming.
Roaming Protocol
The VigorAP 918R Series supports advanced roaming protocols, including 802.11r, 802.11v, and 802.11k. These protocols allow WiFi clients to seamlessly switch to an AP or router with a stronger signal as they move within a network with multiple APs or routers. Clients compatible with these roaming protocols benefit from proactive and uninterrupted roaming.
Assisted Roaming
The "Minimum RSSI with Adjacent AP" feature in the VigorAP ensures clients are disconnected only when a nearby AP or router offers a stronger signal. This prevents unnecessary disconnections and keeps clients connected to the most optimal access point.
Root AP for AP Management
VigorAP 918R is capable of working as the Root AP and manage up to 30 Node APs within the same LAN subnet.
Top-Level Root AP
AP Management can work alongside with Mesh in a more top-level manner. Root AP can manage wired APs which operate in either AP mode or Mesh Root mode. After receiving provision from Root AP, Mesh Root can then synchronize configuration with its mesh members accordingly.
In small installation within 8 APs, Mesh with wired and wireless nodes is handy; while in larger installation, hybrid solution with AP management and Mesh is more competent.
Retain High Performance
Unlike the performance decay brought by mesh wireless uplink, Node AP with wired uplink constantly provides high performance experience, and thus we always suggest to use wired uplink when possible.
Zero Touch Deployment
After auto-detecting and adding Node AP into management list, Root AP will provision relevant AP configurations to node APs.
Node AP Monitoring
Node APs are presented with IP address, operating channel, SSID of each radio, number of clients, and firmware version all in one page, and the AP offline can be easily spotted.
