WiFi 6 Wall-Mount/Desktop AP
VigorAP 906 is 11ax wall-mount/desktop wireless access point with a 5-port LAN switch. With wire-liked link rate up to 2402 Mbps in 5GHz band and up to 574 Mbps in 2.4GHz band, it’s suitable for high density environments. It can be cloud-managed by VigorACS*, and also act as the mesh Root AP to manage up to 7 mesh node APs in LAN (check mesh compatible list for futhur details).

Utilize Transmission Opportunity with OFDMA
OFDMA has been used in LTE for many years, and is now available in 802.11ax for multi-user mode.
Traditionally with OFDM, each frame is transmitted across the entire channel width. With low-rate transmission still using the whole channel, it brings latency and jitter to others and lower the overall efficiency.
OFDMA splits a single transmission into groups of subcarriers, and each subcarrier can be used by different client. With multiple clients transmitting simultaneously in the same channel, it improves efficiency of every single transmission opportunity and thus increases the wireless experiences in high density environment.

Mobile Device Management
Station List and Allow/Block List
The VigorAP records associated devices with signal strength, airtime, link rate, data usage, etc. Network admin can track clients connectivity and activities history on this single panel. If spotting suspicious activities, allow/block policies can also be made right away by MAC or device type.
Nearby Station Analytics
The VigorAP tracks MAC addresses from both associated and non-associated devices with signal strength. This information could help retails and hospitality customers to understand visitor behaviors, and to optimize their business with opening hours/marketing campaigns accordingly.
AP-assisted Roaming
Making Transmission Effective
Disassociate the Wireless clients who are out of the effective transmission range defined by custom Basic Rate or/and RSSI threshold, and force them to pick up another access point with a stronger signal.
Resource Saving
Proactively kick out the clients with a low basic rate or low RSSI can prevent the access points trying to do ineffective transmission but saving the airtime, which will results in better WLAN experience for all.
No Controller Required
Assisted Roaming is a feature built in all Vigor Access Points and selected Wireless routers. They operate without a wireless controller, providing an ideal solution for simple network deployment.
Stronger Signal Guaranteed
By using the "Minimum RSSI with Adjacent AP" option, the AP/Router on the same local subnet will exchange client information with each other, providing the choice to disassociate the client only when other AP detecting a stronger signal. Thus to keep the client stayed when there is no other AP nearby.
Three Modes in One
AP Mode
- The mode mostly used
- VigorAP acts as a bridge between wireless devices and wired Ethernet network, and exchanges data between them.
Pros
- Limited wireless coverage
- Require physical wire to connect to the Ethernet
Cons
- Limited wireless coverage
- Require physical wire to connect to the Ethernet
Range Extender
- VigorAP act as a wireless repeater
- It can be a Station and an AP at the same time
Pros
- Compatibility among different brands
- Extend wireless coverage
Cons
- No self-healing uplinks
- Need to install and check manually
- Performance decay
Mesh
- Wirelessly connect 1~8 APs, and form a Mesh Group
- A mesh network creates a set of links automatically and calculate the most optimal wireless path through the wireless network back to a wired Mesh Root.
Pros
- Easy installation
- Self-healing uplinks
- Extend wireless coverage
Cons
- No compatibility among different brands
- Performance decay
Manage from DrayTek Wireless App
- Set up a Mesh network from scratch
- Monitoring all Mesh nodes and get an overview of the topology
- Check all the Wi-Fi clients
- Change SSID Configuration for all the nodes
- Add TR-069 Settings to all the nodes
