WiFi 6 Capacity
OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) is a key characteristic of the WiFi 6 certification program. Included in the WiFi 6 standard, OFDMA relies on efficient scheduling techniques to function effectively in congested and complex network environments. As WiFi 6 gains traction among manufacturers and the broader industry, it becomes crucial to analyze and document the potential benefits of successful OFDMA implementation and the ability to measure its impact.
OFDM
OFDMA
MU-MIMO is similar to multiple trucks serving users simultaneously. It increases capacity and results in higher speed per users.
BSS Coloring is a technique used to improve co-existence of overlapping BSSs and to allow spatial reuse within one channel .Simply say BSS coloring helps in mitigating problem of co-channel interference found in legacy wifi networks.
TWT (Target wake time ) ensures that end devices spend more time in standby while sending and receiving data more economically. This reduces energy consumption and increases overall efficiency within the home network. It allows an AP to manage activity in the WiFi network, in order to minimize medium contention between Stations (STAs), and to reduce the required amount of time that an STA in the power-save mode needs to be awake.
WPA3 (WiFi Protected Access 3) enhances the security of WiFi networks by addressing vulnerabilities in previous standards (like WPA2) and introducing new features to protect modern wireless communications better. WPA3 was introduced in 2018 to provide stronger authentication, better encryption, and improved defenses against attacks such as brute-force password guessing and man-in-the-middle exploits.
DrayTek's WiFi 6 encryption:
- WEP (64 / 128-bit)
- WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 / OWE
And you may check below comparison table to see WPA3's strength is obviously an surplus development in WLAN security design.
| WEP | WPA | WPA2 | WPA3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Encryption | RC4 | TKIP / RC4 | AES-CCMP | AES-CCMP / AES-GCMP |
| Session Key | 64/128 bit | 128 bit | 128 bit | 128/256 bit |
| Authentication | Open system, shared key | Pre-shared key | Pre-shared key | AES-CCMP / AES-GCMP |
| Level of Security | Very low | Low | Moderate | High |
2.5G/1G LAN Application
The VigorAP 805 is equipped with 2.5Gbps and 1Gbps LAN ports, offering versatile connectivity options for various scenarios
Smart Home Applications
High-Speed Internet Access
Use the 2.5G LAN port to connect to a high-speed broadband connection for seamless internet access.
Connect the 1G LAN port to a switch to extend your local network, supporting multiple smart home devices. These may include:
- PCs for work or entertainment.
- Network-Attached Storage (NAS) for file sharing and backups.
- Smart TVs for home entertainment.
- Voice Assisstants like Amazon Echo or Google Home for home automation.
Smart Business Applications
Business Network Expansion
Similarly, connect the 1G LAN port to a switch to enable LAN/IP extensions for smart business devices, including:
- Point of Sale (PoS) systems for transactions.
- IP Phones for communication.
- NAS for centralized data storage.
- Network Video Recorders (NVRs) for surveillance solutions.
Guest Network with Advanced Security
Utilize the advanced WLAN security features to bind a specific LAN port to a dedicated SSID. This creates an isolated guest network, ensuring that external users or visitors cannot access your internal admin systems.
WiFi Roaming
WiFi roaming is essential in environments with multiple APs to ensure consistent and reliable wireless connectivity. It enhances the wireless experience by addressing the sticky client issue and ensuring smooth WiFi roaming.
Roaming Protocol
The VigorAP 805 supports advanced roaming protocols, including 802.11r, 802.11v, and 802.11k. These protocols allow WiFi clients to seamlessly switch to an AP or router with a stronger signal as they move within a network with multiple APs or routers. Clients compatible with these roaming protocols benefit from proactive and uninterrupted roaming.
Assisted Roaming
The "Minimum RSSI with Adjacent AP" feature in the VigorAP ensures clients are disconnected only when a nearby AP or router offers a stronger signal. This prevents unnecessary disconnections and keeps clients connected to the most optimal access point.
Wireless Virtual Controller
Intelligent Auto-Configuration
When connecting to the VigorAP 805, this feature automatically detects whether the access point (AP) is wired or wireless and determines the most suitable network topology. For smaller wireless setups with fewer than 8 APs, it seamlessly enables Mesh mode (1 root AP, and 7 node AP). In larger wired deployments with more than 20 APs, it activates AP management mode for enhanced control and scalability.
Wireless Device Monitoring
The intuitive panel provides a comprehensive overview of your network, allowing you to monitor devices, mesh statuses, and nearby APs effortlessly. It provides detailed insights, including WLAN clients, MAC and IP addresses, connection statuses, SSIDs for each radio, the number of connected clients, and firmware versions—all accessible on a single page. Even offline APs are easily identifiable, simplifying network management and optimization.
Zero Touch Deployment
Once a Node AP is auto-detected and added to the management group, the Root AP automatically provisions all necessary configurations to the Node APs, streamlining the setup process.
