With a stable and extendable wireless network, both business and
home/SOHO users can easily utilize and enjoy high-bandwidth
applications, such as ERP/CRM, VoIP, video on demand, e-learning (e.g.
iTune U), and so much more. The VigorAP 810 is a wireless Access Point
(AP) with MIMO technology and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. That
means you can have most advance wireless network standard for the
coverage backward compatible with 802.11b/g standard. Moreover, you
would have easy AP installation no matter where the power plug is. At
last but not least, VigorAP 810 delivers reliable and secure wireless
local area networks (WLANs) through the simplified but robust management
and configuration. See below for more feature details.
Supports basic Vigor routers’ AP Management
We already implemented the AP Management (APM) on some Vigor routers
with 3-step installation to let you easily deploy WLAN for your office
network. With the unified user interface of Vigor routers, the status of
VigorAP 810 is clear at the first sight.
DrayTek central wireless management (AP Management) lets control,
efficiency, monitoring and security of your company-wide wireless access
easier be managed. Inside the web user interface, we call “central
wireless management” as Central AP Management which supports mobility,
client monitoring/reporting and load-balancing to multiple APs. For
central wireless management, you will need a Vigor2860 or Vigor2925
series router; there is no per-node licensing or subscription required.
With the unified user interface of Vigor2860 Combo WAN series and
Vigor2925 Triple WAN series, the multiple deployment of VigorAP810 can
be clear at the first sight. For multiple wireless clients, to apply the
AP Load Balancing to the multiple APs will manage wireless traffic with
smooth flow and enhanced efficiency.
PoE for easy installation
Power over Ethernet (PoE) support eases the installation by running
only one cable to VigorAP 810 to deliver both data and power. You can
mount VigorAP 810 to the place which is best for extending coverage
without considering if there is ready access to a power plug. Of course,
you can also use the included AC adapter if power is available nearby.
WMM for Wi-Fi application prioritization
DrayTek implements intelligent wireless prioritization technology on
VigorAP 810 for best utilization of wireless coverage. VigorAP 810
supports Wi-Fi Multi Media standard (WMM). It is a standard created to
define Quality of Service (QoS) in Wi-Fi networks. It is a precursor to
the upcoming IEEE 802.11e WLAN QoS draft standard, which is meant to
improve audio, video and voice applications transmitted over Wi-Fi. WMM
adds prioritized capabilities to Wi-Fi networks and optimizes their
performance when multiple concurring applications, each with different
latency and throughput requirements, compete for network resources.
SSID + 2 VLAN groups for workplace security & parental control
The VigorAP 810 supports 4 separate SSIDs and two virtual LANs
(VLANs). You can set certain SSID(s) accessing Internet through either
VLAN A or B (LAN_A or LAN_B in WUI). As a result, the VigorAP 810
divides itself into several virtual access points all within a single
hardware platform.
Many mobile networks deployed at corporate offices, hotels, shopping
malls or restaurants can take advantage of this technology to support
several applications such as public Internet access and inventory
management. For example, guests of a company could be given wireless
access for the Internet, but they are excluded from any access to the
internal data server. For home users, they can set up different
authorization for SSIDs to their K12 kids, young adults and parents to
avoiding inappropriate contents accessed by underage family members.
Comprehensive WLAN security control
You can obtain the MAC addresses of each wireless client from its
configuration utility or operating system. You then enter these
addresses into a configuration page of VigorAP 810. When MAC address
filtering is activated, VigorAP 810 performs additional check for
wireless clients to prevent network breaking. Clients within the
authenticated list will be able to join with the WLAN. Those who are not
on the list will be denied while VigorAP 810 receives their request to
join the WLAN.
With industry level security standards for wireless user
authentication and data encryption, 802.11i (WPA2) offers strengthened
and interoperable wireless networking security. The activation of 802.1x
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service) allows you
centrally manage and store user names and passwords. You can ensure that
only legitimate clients can be associated with corporate RADIUS
servers.
WDS for unlimited coverage extendibility
The VigorAP 810 can extend over large areas (alike shopping mall) by
its “WDS” (wireless distribution system). WDS takes care of the
establishment of WLAN network with “point-to-point” and
“point-to-multipoint” bridging and repeater modes. The repeater mode
provides extend wireless access to additional clients where there is a
relay AP repeats signal from a base AP to distant clients. The
bridge-to-bridge mode allows two wired networks to be connected across
some distance. The detachable antenna will let you replace with DrayTek
antennas for directional signal shaping or mounting flexibility.
Embedded USB printer server
You can connect a printer to the USB port of VigorAP 810 for users
from wired PC or wireless network. i.e. The laptop users can access
printer for printing. When you are using a pair of VigorAP 810s to make a
bridge, the said printer can be installed elsewhere in your office/
home.
TR-069-supported VigorAP810 can work with TR-069 VigorACS SI Central Management
The VigorAP 810 is TR-069 base. Hence, you can host VigorACS SI
Central Management to manage several VigorAP 810 which were deployed
remotely.
