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.

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.
WiFi Roaming
Solve the sticky client problem and improve WiFi roaming experience.
Proactive Roaming
WiFi clients automatically hand-off to another AP/Router with a better signal strength when moving around in an area with multiple APs/Routers.
However, WiFi clients sometimes stick to the AP/Router with weak signal, and not switching to the one with better signal.
Assisted Roaming
VigorAP will disassociate the WiFi clients who are out of the effective transmission range, forcing them to pick up another AP/Router with a stronger signal.
Stronger Signal Guaranteed
Furthermore, with "Minimum RSSI with Adjacent AP" option, VigorAP can disassociate the client only when other AP/router has a stronger wireless signal, and keep client stayed when there’s no other AP/Router nearby.
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
