Wi-Fi 6 - Fast & Efficient
The DrayTek VigorAP 1060C is a Wi-Fi 6 AX3600 access point with 2.5Gbps Ethernet capability. The latest wireless standard dramatically improves performance, handling efficiently multiple users and devices. The technology is partially based on LTE features used on mobile networks where many connections are managed by a single AP (mast).
This powerful access point can handle even more SSIDs. You can configure up to 8 for each wireless band (16 SSIDs in total).
2.5 Gigabit Power-over-Ethernet
The VigorAP 1060C is designed to suit any application, with higher throughput of up to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet interface, and built-in PoE (Standard IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet) as standard, along with the option for powering via DC power supply. Connect the VigorAP to a PoE-enabled Ethernet switch or PoE injector to power it without local power to the unit (power supply) - the VigorAP 1060C will take its power from the Ethernet cable.
PoE is ideal for office installations where Ethernet is available but power isn't. It also provides some great management features, the PoE Device Check feature of PoE VigorSwitch switches can monitor and alert if a PoE device stops responding, or providing its services.
In Mesh wireless networks, where PoE may not be possible, the VigorAP 1060C can be powered via DC power supply, with its Ethernet port available for use as an uplink to the Mesh network.
Ceiling or Wall Mounted
For a convenient and tidy installation, the VigorAP 1060C is designed for installation on ceilings and walls, blending into its surroundings with a matte finish. It's ideal for providing wireless access to large rooms and public spaces.
For mounting on solid ceilings and walls, a circular mounting plate (included with the unit) is fitted and then the VigorAP 1060C is secured into place by twisting the VigorAP into the mounting plate.
For suspended ceilings, additional mounts are included to attach to ceiling T-rails, clipping securely into place.
Cabling for the VigorAP can be discreetly run through the mounting plate or through a cable gap in the side. An included cover for this gap can be installed where cables are run through to the back of the access point.
AP & Repeater Modes
The VigorAP 1060C is configurable to suit most networks, with AP and Range Extender modes. In addition to its Mesh capability, it's ideal as a stand-alone Access Point to provide Wi-Fi connectivity for routers and networks without wireless.
Use the VigorAP 1060C as a Range Extender to connect to any existing wireless network and boost the signal, extending wireless coverage to areas that otherwise would have a patchy signal.
Cloud Management and More
DrayTek VigorAP wireless access points can be managed as stand-alone APs with their extensive web user interface.
To manage more than one access point, either for a single site or spanning multiple sites, DrayTek offer a multitude of options for managing VigorAP access points:
Cloud Management - VigorACS
DrayTek's VigorACS central management platform makes it possible to manage all DrayTek products from the Cloud or your own private server. DrayTek's access points, switches and routers can all be managed through the VigorACS management portal, with all of the menu options and features available, just as if they were being set up locally. Dashboard view gives a full overview of a VigorAP's status and usage.
VigorACS is great for managing VigorAPs spread across multiple sites, with AP profiles to configure wireless settings, passwords and VLANs. Apply AP profiles to reconfigure all APs on one site or multiple sites in minutes.

Mobile Device Management
Through the web interface of the VigorAP 1060C, network administrators can easily check on AP data usage and clients connected, with options to disconnect or block disruptive clients.
Mobile Device Management builds on regular Access Control, which can be used to whitelist and blacklist individual clients. MDM makes it possible to set up SSIDs that only Windows or Apple desktops can connect to, disconnecting Android or iOS clients or vice versa, to suit the requirements of your wireless network.
Analytics data from each VigorAP graphs how many wireless clients have connected to the AP over time, as well as how many wireless clients passed by without connecting.
AP Assisted Roaming
Large wireless networks spanning multiple access points may sometimes seem slow to users, because their device is clinging on to a far away access point. Even when a closer access point is available for their device to connect to, which can slow down overall performance for all users connected to that now distant AP.
DrayTek solve this issue with AP-Assisted Roaming, which requires no central controller to operate. With AP-Assisted Roaming, VigorAPs communicate with each other to determine which clients can get a better signal as those clients move around.
If a client moves into range of another VigorAP access point, that AP informs the now distant AP, which makes an informed decision to disconnect the remote 'sticky' client. Allowing the client to quickly re-associate with their nearest AP, giving the user stronger signal and better speeds.
