If you want to create a mesh network out of multiple APs, that's easy too. Further security features include LAN isolation, which stops wireless clients from accessing wired systems, and member isolation, which prevents wireless clients on the same SSID from seeing each other. Inside, twin radios promise data rates of up to 1,200Mbits/sec in the 5GHz band and 574Mbits/sec in the 2.4GHz band.įor advanced configurations, up to four SSIDs per radio are supported, with encryption options including the latest, strongest WPA3 standard. Its single Gigabit Ethernet port supports PoE, although DrayTek also includes an external PSU in the box.
It's a slim thing, designed to be either ceiling or wall-mounted. It can be managed from its own web console, auto-provisioned using any DrayTek router that supports the Central AP Management (CAM) feature, centrally administered with the free VigorConnect Windows app, or managed in the cloud with the optional VigorACS 3 service. On its own, the 960C will work as either a standalone access point (AP) or a Wi-Fi 6 range extender for an existing network – or it can serve as part of a self-healing wireless mesh network. It offers impressive performance, thanks to dual-band Wi-Fi 6 radios, and also supports three operational modes and no fewer than four management modes – all for £163. DrayTek specialises in business-class networking at SMB-friendly prices, and the VigorAP 960C fits the bill perfectly.
