VigorAP 918R Series

DrayTek VigorAP 918R Series is a compact outdoor wireless access point. It provides combined link rate 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.

Key Features

	Mesh (Wireless model only) Easily link to other VigorAP to expand the wireless network.		Assisted Wi-Fi Roaming Solve the sticky client problem and improve Wi-Fi roaming experience.
	Weather Resistant VigorAP 918R Series can withstand rain, heat, and cold to deliver internet connectivity to the outdoor environments.		Local RADIUS Server User profile database for local and external 802.1x authentication.
	Built-in Sensor Built-in temperature and humidity sensor helps keep monitoring on temperature and humidity, and sends out SMS/Email alerts once reaching threshold.		Wi-Fi Scheduling Schedule Wi-Fi On and Off to control wireless access and save energy.
	Multiple SSID Mapping Wi-Fi clients to different VLANs and have a different set of security standards		PoE Power Supply Simplify the infrastructure by getting data and power through a single cable.
	Airtime Fairness Equalize the transmission time of each client so the legacy devices won't slow everyone down.		Hotspot Web Portal Market your business and communicate with the guests while offering hospitality WLAN.
	Band Steering Redirect 5GHz-capable devices to the 5GHz radio to get a faster speed.		Central AP Management Manage, maintain, and monitor VigorAP 918R Series from the DrayTek routers.

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.

Root AP for AP Management

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 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.
