VigorAP 1060C is the most powerful wireless AP we’ve ever made. With 3.6 Gbps aggregated max link rate, it’s suitable for high density environments. It can be cloud-managed by VigorACS, and also act as the master AP to manage up to 50 node VigorAPs in LAN.

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.

RF Analytics & Auto ChannelVigorAP 1060C with a dedicated third radio is able to constantly monitor on all channels for airtime availability and channel utilization. It will always show the 3 best quality channels for Admin’s selection.
| Wireless Security with WIDSThe radio can also keep monitoring on rouge AP. When detecting unknown AP broadcasting the same SSID, VigorAP 1060C can notify network admin for further action.

Hotspot with External Captive Portal ServerWorking as NAS (network access server), VigorAP 1060C supports the 802.1x standard. It can redirect new clients to the designated portal server to go through the hotspot login process and receive corresponding RADIUS attributes and perform bandwidth limit and time limit accordingly. This function is ideal for retail, restaurants, coffee shops, and hospitality to do WiFi marketing and learn more about their clients. |  |
Station List and Allow/Block ListThe 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. |  |

VigorAP 1060C is capable of working as the Root AP and manage up to 50 Node APs within the same LAN subnet.
 | Top-Level Root APAP 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 PerformanceUnlike 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 DeploymentAfter auto-detecting and adding Node AP into management list, Root AP will provision relevant AP configurations to node APs. Node AP MonitoringNode 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. |
