The Dray Tek Vigor AP 902 is a wireless access point which can be operated in standalone or centrally managed/monitored mode (with the use of a central Dray Tek management product
- see later). The Vigor AP 902 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 to improve & protect flexibility & integrity of your wireless LAN. The Vigor AP 902 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 & Extended 5 Ghz Bands The Vigor AP 902 supports simultaneous operation of the common 2.4 Ghz band & faster 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 5 Ghz band is used for 802.11ac (or optionally 802.11n & 802.11a). The Vigor AP 902 operates both bands at the same time, allowing your devices to use either band & each has its own bandwidth so overall wireless capacity is also increased. The 5 Ghz interface supports the full range of extended domestic 5 Ghz channels, thank to its support for DFS/TPC; you can select all 5 Ghz channels up to channel 140, as opposed to just the 4 Band A-Lower channels (which provides only two non-overlapping channels). It has support for Band Steering which can be configured to guide clients that are able to connect to 5 G Hz wireless networks onto this band instead of the more congested 2.4 G Hz b&, which results in client connections being shared between the two frequencies more evenly, potentially increasing the number of wireless clients that can be connected to each Vigor Access Point. Gigabit Ethernet Ports The Vigor AP 902 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 is fed at the maximum speed in order to fully satisfy the full speed of both 2.4 G Hz & 5 Ghz bands simultaneously. The four ports on LAN A are particularly of use if you are using the AP as a wireless bridge as you can then connect wired PCs or devices to it. LAN Port 3 on LAN-A is also used as the Po E input if youre powering the AP by Po E.
