Utilize Transmission Opportunity with OFDMA
OFDMA 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.

Third Radio for RF Analytics & Security
RF Analytics & Auto Channel
VigorAP 1060C with a dedicated third radio is able to constantly monitor on all channels for airtime availability and channel utilization. It will always show the 3 best quality channels for Admin’s selection.
Wireless Security with WIDS
The radio can also keep monitoring on rouge AP. When detecting unknown AP broadcasting the same SSID, VigorAP 1060C can notify network admin for further action.
Client Management with Captive Portal
Hotspot with External Captive Portal Server
Working as NAS (network access server), VigorAP 1060C supports the 802.1x standard. It can redirect new clients to the designated portal server to go through the hotspot login process and receive corresponding RADIUS attributes and perform bandwidth limit and time limit accordingly. This function is ideal for retail, restaurants, coffee shops, and hospitality to do WiFi marketing and learn more about their clients.
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.
Nearby Station Analytics
The VigorAP tracks MAC addresses from both associated and non-associated devices with signal strength. This information could help retails and hospitality customers to understand visitor behaviors, and to optimize their business with opening hours/marketing campaigns accordingly.
WiFi Roaming
Solve the sticky client problem and improve WiFi roaming experience.
Proactive Roaming
WiFi clients automatically hand-off to another AP/Router with a better signal strength when moving around in an area with multiple APs/Routers.
However, WiFi clients sometimes stick to the AP/Router with weak signal, and not switching to the one with better signal.
Assisted Roaming
VigorAP will disassociate the WiFi clients who are out of the effective transmission range, forcing them to pick up another AP/Router with a stronger signal.
Stronger Signal Guaranteed
Furthermore, with "Minimum RSSI with Adjacent AP" option, VigorAP can disassociate the client only when other AP/router has a stronger wireless signal, and keep client stayed when there’s no other AP/Router nearby.
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.
Root AP for AP Management
VigorAP 1060C is capable of working as the Root AP and manage up to 50 Node APs within the same LAN subnet.
Top-Level Root AP
AP Management can work alongside with Mesh in a more top-level manner. Root AP can manage wired APs which operate in either AP mode or Mesh Root mode. After receiving provision from Root AP, Mesh Root can then synchronize configuration with its mesh members accordingly.
In small installation within 8 APs, Mesh with wired and wireless nodes is handy; while in larger installation, hybrid solution with AP management and Mesh is more competent.
Retain High Performance
Unlike the performance decay brought by mesh wireless uplink, Node AP with wired uplink constantly provides high performance experience, and thus we always suggest to use wired uplink when possible.
Zero Touch Deployment
After auto-detecting and adding Node AP into management list, Root AP will provision relevant AP configurations to node APs.
Node AP Monitoring
Node APs are presented with IP address, operating channel, SSID of each radio, number of clients, and firmware version all in one page, and the AP offline can be easily spotted.
Three Modes in One
AP Mode
- The mode mostly used
- VigorAP acts as a bridge between wireless devices and wired Ethernet network, and exchanges data between them.
Pros
- Less performance decay
Cons
- Limited wireless coverage
- Require physical wire to connect to the Ethernet
Range Extender
- VigorAP act as a wireless repeater
- It can be a Station and an AP at the same time
Pros
- Compatibility among different brands
- Extend wireless coverage
Cons
- No self-healing uplinks
- Need to install and check manually
- Performance decay
Mesh
- Wirelessly connect 1~8 APs, and form a Mesh Group
- A mesh network creates a set of links automatically and calculate the most optimal wireless path through the wireless network back to a wired Mesh Root.
Pros
- Easy installation
- Self-healing uplinks
- Extend wireless coverage
Cons
- No compatibility among different brands
- Performance decay
