Vigor AP-900 Managed Dual-Band Wireless Access Point The Dray Tek Vigor AP-900 is a wireless access point which can be operated in standalone or centrally managed/monitored mode (by use of a central Dray Tek management product
- feature due later in 2014 as a free firmware upgrade). The AP-900 is a high
Specification professional access point providing reliable & flexible coverage to all manner of applications. A vast array of security & management features helps the AP-900 to improve & protect flexibility & integrity of your wireless LAN. The Vigor AP-900 is ideal for adding wireless connectivity to an existing LAN, or for expanding the range of an existing wireless LAN by using the WDS repeater features. Simultaneous Dual-Band Operation The Vigor AP-900 supports simultaneous operation of the common 2.4 Ghz band & the new 5 Ghz b&. The 5 Ghz band is far less congested so if your PCs or other devices support the 5 Ghz b&, you can use that. The Vigor AP-900 operates both bands at the same time, so your devices can use either band & each has its own bandwidth so overall wireless capacity is also increased. If you want to add 5 Ghz band support to your PC/laptop (assuming it doesnt already support it), you can use the Dray Tek N65 USB (Universal Serial Bus) adaptor. Gigabit Ethernet Ports The AP-900 has five wired Ethernet ports (separated into two distinct separated LANs). LAN A & LAN B can be fed separately & in turn broadcast on independent & isolated SSIDs. As the ports are all Gigabit, you can be sure that the AP-900 is fed at the maximum speed in order to fully satisfy the full speed of both 2/4 & 5 Ghz bands simultaneously. The four ports on LAN A are particularly of use if you are using the AP-900 as a wireless bridge as you can then connect wired PCs or devices to it. LAN Port 1 on LAN-A is also used as the Po E input if youre powering the AP-900 by Po E. Central Management A feature due later in 2014 (via a free firmware
