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.

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.

Mesh

The mode mostly used
VigorAP acts as a bridge
between wireless devices
and wired Ethernet network,
and exchanges data between them.

VigorAP act as a wireless repeater

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.
