I-1 Introduction
This is a generic International version of the user guide. Specification, compatibility, and features
vary by region. For specific user guides suitable for your region or product, please contact the local
distributor.
Thank you for purchasing this VigorAP 906, the concurrent dual-band wireless (2.4G/5G) access
point offering high-speed data transmission. With this high cost-efficient VigorAP 906, computers
and wireless devices which are compatible with 802.11ax can connect to the existing wired Ethernet
network via this VigorAP 906, at the speed of 300Mbps.
Easy install procedures allow any computer users to set up a network environment in a very short
time - within minutes, even inexperienced users. Just follow the instructions given in this user
manual, you can complete the setup procedure and release the power of this access point all by
yourself!
VigorAP 906 also is a Power over Ethernet Powered Device which adopts the technology of PoE for
offering power supply and transmitting data through the Ethernet cable.
AP Management
The VigorAP 906 can operate in standalone mode for your office network or a classroom or a
waiting room of some transportation terminals (e.g. ferry terminal, bus station, train station) or a
clinic's waiting room; connected to your LAN and offering you with wireless access. If your network
requires several VigorAP 906 units, centrally manage and monitor them individually as a group will
be expected. 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 name the “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 Vigor2865 or Vigor2927 series router; there is no per-node
licensing or subscription required. For multiple wireless clients to apply the AP Load Balancing to
the multiple APs, AP management will manage wireless traffic with smooth flow and enhanced
efficiency.
Support Mesh Network
The message, information, and data can be transferred via wireless connection among VigorAP 906
devices without using Ethernet cables. It can reduce the construction cost and eliminate the trouble
of wiring. Therefore, mesh AP is suitable for outdoor activities, or meetings.
In short, VigorAP with mesh function has the following benefits:
In the traditional wireless network, users must choose the best signal source manually from
various SSIDs. The mesh AP can find out the best route automatically.
Besides, if any one of the mesh AP devices disconnects due to an unknown reason, the mesh
system will determine another accessible AP and transfer the packets to that AP.
Maintain a certain degree of normal operation for it is not easily affected by connection
interference or terrain blocking of walls or floors.
For the mesh network system to adopt the mesh topology, each node in the network not only
has a single connection but also interweaves to other nodes like a net. Because of such
characteristics, the mesh network can set up stronger network architecture.
