DrayTek DAP960C - 2x2 Dual Band 802.11ax Ceiling AP with Mesh Wi-Fi, 1 x Gigabit PoE PD port, and support VigorACS 2/3

VigorAP 960C 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.

Utilize Transmission Opportunity with OFDMAOFDMA 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.

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.

What’s in it for you?

• Mesh (Wireless model only):Easily link to other VigorAP to expand the wireless network.
• PoE Power Supply:Simplify the infrastructure by getting data and power through a single cable.
• Multiple SSID:Mapping Wi-Fi clients to different VLANs and have a different set of security standards.
• Airtime Fairness:Equalize the transmission time of each client so the legacy devices won't slow everyone down.
• Band Steering:Redirect 5GHz-capable devices to the 5GHz radio to get a faster speed.
• Assisted Wi-Fi Roaming:Solve the sticky client problem and improve Wi-Fi roaming experience.
• Wi-Fi Scheduling:Schedule Wi-Fi On and Off to control wireless access and save energy.
• Local RADIUS Server:User profile database for local and external 802.1x authentication.
• Hotspot Web Portal:Market your business and communicate with the guests while offering hospitality WLAN.
• Central AP Management:Manage, maintain, and monitor VigorAP 960C from the DrayTek routers.
