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 800 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 800 delivers reliable and
secure wireless local area networks (WLANs) through the simplified but
robust management and configuration. See below for more feature details.
PoE for easy installation
Power over Ethernet (PoE) support eases the installation by running only one
cable to VigorAP 800 to deliver both data and power. You can mount VigorAP
800 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
800 for best utilization of wireless coverage. VigorAP 800 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 800 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 800 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 800. When MAC
address filtering is activated, VigorAP 800 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 800 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 800 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 800 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 800s to make a
bridge, the said printer can be installed elsewhere in your office/
home.
