DrayTek VigorAP 918R Series is a compact outdoor wireless access point. It provides combined speeds of up to 1.3 Gbps and a capacity of 200+ active users. The series includes an RPD model, which is equipped with a PoE-Out port to deliver connectivity and power to another network device, such as an IP camera, and the internal 5GHz directional patch antenna can enhance the wireless performance for long-range point-to-point connection.

VigorAP 918R Series supports MU-MIMO for high density applications
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.
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.
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.
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.
VigorAP 918R is capable of working as the Root AP and manage up to 30 Node APs within the same LAN subnet.
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.
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.
After auto-detecting and adding Node AP into management list, Root AP will provision relevant AP configurations to node APs.
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.
