VLANs The Vigor AP 802 features multiple levels of wireless security Encryption using WPA2 is available & you can also use the access control list (ACL) to specify the hardware addresses of clients which are permitted to connect (by MAC hardware address) Any unauthorised hardware is refused access For additional user authentication you can have the Vigor AP 802 authenticate clients with an 8021x RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service) server The Vigor AP 802 supports the 8021q VLAN protocol so that if it is connected to an 8021q enabled LAN it can split tagged data (whether it's different subnets or intended for different users) & broadcast each on its own SSID This means for example that your guest Wi Fi access is provided on a separate isolated SSID with no access to your company data Multi-SSID over Mesh Dray Tek's Mesh system supports 8021q VLAN tagging for its multiple Wireless networks (or SSIDs) over both wireless & wired Mesh links between Vigor A Ps Each SSID provided by the Mesh network can have a VLAN tag assigned to it VLAN tags are interpreted by the network's router & switch (es) to segregate one network from another For instance keeping devices connecting to a guest network separate from resources on the private internal network Setting up a Mesh network to work with VLANs only requires setting up the Mesh Root with the VLAN tags on its SSIDs This change propagates to Mesh Nodes when syncing the configuration between access points & Multi-SSID over Mesh can be used just like a cabled network of access points AP &38; Repeater Modes The Vigor AP 802 can be used as a st&-alone Wireless Access Point to provide wireless connectivity for a router or network that doesn't currently have wireless Plug the Vigor AP 802's RJ-45 port into any Ethernet network & plug the AP itself into a wall socket for a tidy & space-efficient wireless solution Access Point mode can create up to 2 separate Wireless networks (or SSIDs) The Vigor AP 802 can provide completely separate private & guest wireless networks through the use of 8021q VLAN tags with a router or network that supports VLAN tagging such as the Dray Tek Vigor 2862 router Range Extender (or Universal Repeater) mode allows the Vigor AP 802 to extend the wireless coverage of any existing wireless network In this mode the Vigor AP 802 connects to a remote wireless network allowing it to provide Internet & Network access to wireless clients that connect to the Vigor AP 802's wireless network Mesh
- Auto-Optimisation A Vigor Mesh Wireless network can easily add new Mesh Nodes & self-organises links between up to 8 Dray Tek Vigor AP access points to ensure the best possible speeds If a Mesh Node's wireless uplink drops out for instance if there's interference or the Vigor AP it connects to is turned off each Mesh Vigor AP automatically re-connects to the next available point to resumes service without any manual intervention required Mesh Nodes further away will connect wirelessly to the nearest Mesh Node with up to 3 wireless hops Alternatively where a network connection is available for a Vigor AP join a Mesh Node to the network through ethernet & nearby wireless Mesh Nodes can join it instead of the Mesh Root to reduce wireless hops & increase possible Mesh throughput Central Management with Dray Tek Vigor ACSThe Dray Tek Vigor AP 802 can be managed by the Dray Tek Vigor ACS central management system
- a cloud platform which can manage most Dray Tek products
- routers wireless access points & Ethernet switches giving you complete visibility & control of your Dray Tek product estate even without a Dray Tek Vigor router on site The Dray Tek Vigor ACS management system can be used to configure & provision Dray Tek Vigor AP access points similarly to performing these actions through the Vigor AP's web interface with a familiar menu layout in the Configuration section of Vigor ACS Profiles for groups of access points can be provisioned in Vigor ACS by selecting a Vigor ACS network then accessing Configuration &62; AP Profile to configure profiles & apply them selectively Dray Tek's Vigor ACS management monitors each Vigor AP access point with a Dashboard view giving a central overview of the most important information from the Vigor AP's current status Central Management with a Dray Tek Router The Vigor AP 802 can operate in standalone autonomous mode but can also form part of a centrally managed wireless installation by adding a compatible Dray Tek wireless controller such as the Vigor 2862 router This enables you to centrally control manage & administer multiple AP devices installed around your buildingcampus Management also enables efficient usage of your wireless access point through load-balancing whereby wireless clients are distributed across several access points to reduce congestion The Dray Tek router operating as the wireless controller can provision Dray Tek Vigor AP access points using the Central AP Management profiles configured on the router with an option to Auto Provision
- auto configuring newly installed Vigor AP access points with the Auto Provisioning profile upon initial connection to the Dray Tek Vigor router's network
