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.

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.
