DrayTek VigorAP 960C 802.11ax Ceiling-mount Access Point
The DrayTek VigorAP 912C is an 11ax ceiling-mount wireless access point. With wire-liked speed up to 1.2 Gbps in 5GHz band and 600Mbps in 2.4GHz, it’s suitable for high density environments. It can be cloud-managed by VigorACS, and also act as the mesh Root AP to manage up to 7 mesh node APs in LAN.
DrayTek VigorAP 912C Key Features
- Dual-Band: Concurrent 5GHz and 2.4GHz
- AX1800: Delivers speed up to 1.8 Gbps
- 256 Users: Active at maximum, 128 per radio
- 1x LAN Port: 1x 10/100/1000M Base-T RJ-45
Utilise Transmission Opportunity with OFDMA
OFDMA is 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
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.
