DrayTek Vigor AP960C WiFi 6 Access Point 802.11ax
DrayTek Vigor AP960C Wireless Access Point - For Ceiling or Wall AX1800
Wi-Fi 6 - Fast & Efficient
802.11ax - AX1800 - Improved efficiency, faster overall performance and less lag when compared with WiFi 5 (11ac) wireless networks. Uplifts both 2.4GHz(ax600) and 5GHz(ax1200) client speeds. WiFi 6 is less susceptible to interference from neighbouring wireless networks.
- Significantly boosts real world performance for both 2.4 & 5GHz WiFi 6 clients.
Mesh Wireless
DrayTek's Mesh system intelligently manages and links VigorAPs wirelessly, with guest network and VLAN support. The Self-Optimising Mesh ensures your wireless network nodes are always using the fastest path to the Mesh Root.
- Quick to set up and easy to manage. Implement complex wireless networks with VLANs.
Gigabit Power Over Ethernet
The VigorAP 960C can be powered through its Gigabit Ethernet interface with standard IEEE 802.3af PoE for a tidier and more convenient installation. Alternatively, power the VigorAP with an AC adapter.
Benefits: High Speed connections even in locations without mains power.
WPA3 Security
Supports the latest and strongest wireless security standards, with WPA3-Personal and Enterprise 802.1x options. Mixed WPA3/WPA2 support helps networks transition to the new standard.
- Stronger wireless security. Better protection against brute force attacks.
Easy to Configure and Manage
The DrayTek Wireless app simplifies setting up your network. Optionally configure and monitor through one of DrayTek's management platforms - VigorACS cloud, VigorConnect, Router AP Management, or directly via the AP's Web Interface.
- Quick to install and change configuration.
Ceiling or Wall Mounted
With a new matte finish, the VigorAP 960C blends well with home and office interiors. Suitable for ceiling and wall mounting. Clips into its ceiling plate for secure mounting and easier maintenance.
- Flexible and discrete installation, with option to disable status LED.
VigorAP 960C
Ceiling or Wall Mounted WiFi 6 Mesh Wireless PoE Access Point
VigorAP 960C is a WiFi 6 Access Point with Mesh, offering up to 1.8Gbps Dual-Band wireless rates. WiFi 6 brings significantly improved efficiency, better overall performance and reliably handles more clients per AP. DrayTek's Mesh with VLAN capability can significantly reduce the cost of network deployments, improves coverage and eliminates Wi-Fi dead zones for homes and businesses.
Wi-Fi 6 configuration
The DrayTek VigorAP 960C is a Wi-Fi 6 AX1800 access point. The new wireless standard does more than simply boost speeds for single users, it improves overall performance for busy environments. More efficient resource sharing results in greater overall performance, lower latency and less pauses in connectivity for users.
To achieve this, Wi-Fi 6 or 802.11ax brings in several new technologies (including some features used extensively by 4G and LTE networks), to enhance speeds even as many users demand content at the same time.
