DrayTek VigorAP 918R Series is a compact outdoor wireless access point. It provides combined link rate up to 1.3 Gbps and a capacity of 200+ active users. The series includes an RPD model, which is equipped with a PoE-Out port to deliver connectivity and power to another network device, such as an IP camera, and the internal 5GHz directional patch antenna can enhance the wireless performance for long-range point-to-point connection.

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 918R is capable of working as the Root AP and manage up to 30 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.
