You cannot screw into ceiling tiles as they are weak and not suitable for bearing loads. Your
VigorAP is supplied with mounts (T-Rail brackets) which attach directly to the metal grid
(‘T-Rail’) of your suspended ceiling.
1. Choose one set of T-Rail mounting kits from the bundled package.
2. Put the T-Rail brackets on the holes of the bottom side of the device. Fasten them with
suitable screws.
3. If a larger gap is required between the ceiling and the VigorAP, use the extension
pieces to extend the height of the brackets.

4. Use the T-Rail brackets to fasten the device on Light-weighted Steel Frame.

For wall-mounting, the VigorAP has keyhole type mounting slots on the underside. You can
fit the AP at any axis (i.e. 12, 3, 6 or 9 O’Clock) to allow for cable entry from the most
convenient location if you are using side entry – note the position of the side entry cable
cutout.
1. A template is provided on the VigorAP’s packaging box to enable you to space the
screws correctly on the wall
.
2. Place the template on the wall and drill the holes according to the recommended
instruction.
3. Fit screws into the wall using the appropriate type of wall plug (as shown in the ceiling
section) but do not use the ceiling bracket – the VigorAP hangs directly onto the
screws.
Wall (wooden, concrete,
plasterboard or others)

private network (Default: 192.168.1.2).
Subnet Mask – Type in an address code that determines the size
of the network. (Default: 255.255.255.0/ 24)
Default Gateway - In general, it is not really necessary to
specify a gateway for VigorAP 902. However, if it is required,
simply type an IP address as the gateway for VigorAP 902. It
will be convenient for the access point to acquire more service
(e.g., accessing NTP server) from Vigor router.
Enable Management VLAN – VigorAP 910C supports
tag-based
VLAN for wireless clients accessing Vigor device. Only the
clients with the specified VLAN ID can access into VigorAP
910C.
VLAN ID – Type the number as VLAN ID tagged on the
transmitted packet. “0” means no VALN tag.

server can automatically dispatch related IP settings to any local
user configured as a DHCP client.
Enable Server – When it is enabled, VigorAP
will
assign
required information (e.g., IP address, DNS server) to every host
in LAN.
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
41
Start IP Address - Enter a value of the IP address pool for
the
DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. If
the 1st
IP address of your modem is 192.168.1.2, the
starting IP address
must be 192.168.1.3 or greater, but
smaller than 192.168.1.254.
End IP Address - Enter a value of the IP address pool for
the
DHCP server to end with when issuing IP addresses.

size of the network. (Default: 255.255.255.0/ 24)
Default Gateway - Enter a value of the gateway IP address
for
the DHCP server.
Lease Time - It allows you to set the leased time for the
specified PC.
Primary DNS Server - You must specify a DNS server IP
address here because your ISP should provide you with
usually
more than one DNS Server. If your ISP does not
provide it, the
modem will automatically apply default DNS
Server IP address:
194.109.6.66 to this field.
Secondary DNS Server - You can specify secondary DNS
server
IP address here because your ISP often provides you
more than
one DNS Server. If your ISP does not provide it,
the modem will
automatically apply default secondary DNS
Server IP address: 194.98.0.1 to this field.
Disable Server - Disable Server lets you manually use other
DHCP server to
assign IP address to every host in the LAN.
Trust DHCP Server IP for WLAN - When the built-in
DHCP server of VigorAP is disabled, the wireless client
might get IP address from other DHCP server. Sometimes,
it might cause wireless client obtaining wrong IP or unable
to access internet. To solve this problem, simply specify a
DHCP server in this field. Then, the wireless client
connecting to such VigorAP will get IP address from this
specified DHCP server only.
Relay Agent - Specify which subnet that DHCP server is located
the relay agent should redirect the DHCP request to.
DHCP Relay Agent - It is available
when Enable Relay
Agent is selected. Set the IP address of the
DHCP server
you are going to use so the Relay Agent can help
to forward
the DHCP request to the DHCP server.
DNS Server IP
Address
Set the DNS server IP address for VigorAP.
Primary IP Address- You must specify a DNS server IP
address here because your ISP should provide you with
usually
more than one DNS Server. If your ISP does not
provide it, the
modem will automatically apply default DNS
Server IP address:
194.109.6.66 to this field.
Secondary IP Address- You can specify secondary
DNS server
IP address here because your ISP often
provides you more than
one DNS Server. If your ISP
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
42
does not provide it, the modem will
automatically
apply default secondary DNS Server IP address:
194.98.0.1 to this field.

This page lists the AP management functions that the Access Points support under different
firmware versions.
Note: DrayTek central wireless management (AP Management) lets control, efficiency,
monitoring and security of your company-wide wireless access easier be managed. Inside
the web user interface, we call “central wireless management” as Central AP Management
which supports mobility, client monitoring/reporting and load-balancing to multiple APs.
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
48
For central wireless management, you will need a Vigor2860 or Vigor2925 series router;
there is no per-node licensing or subscription required. With the unified user interface of
Vigor2860 Combo WAN series and Vigor2925 Triple WAN series, the multiple
deployment of VigorAP 910C can be clear at the first sight. For multiple wireless clients,
to apply the AP Load Balancing to the multiple APs will manage wireless traffic with
smooth flow and enhanced efficiency.

910C) registered to Vigor router. Thus, the bandwidth will not be occupied by certain access
points.
However, traffic overload might be occurred if too many wireless stations connected to
VigorAP 910C for data incoming and outgoing. Therefore, “Force Overload Disassociation”
is required to terminate the network connection of the client’s station to release network
traffic. When the function of “Force Overload Disassociation” in web user interface of Vigor
router (e.g., Vigor2860 or Vigor2925 series) is enabled, wireless clients specified in black
list of such web page will be disassociated to solve the problem of traffic overload.
The following web page is used to configure white list and black list for wireless stations.
Available settings are explained as follows:

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a legacy method to encrypt each frame transmitted via
radio using either a 64-bit or 128-bit key. Usually access point will preset a set of four keys
and it will communicate with each station using only one out of the four keys.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the most dominating security mechanism in industry, is
separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK),
and WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x.
In WPA-Personal, a pre-defined key is used for encryption during data transmission. WPA
applies Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption while WPA2 applies
AES. The WPA-Enterprise combines not only encryption but also authentication.
Since WEP has been proved vulnerable, you may consider using WPA for the most secure
connection. You should select the appropriate security mechanism according to your needs.
No matter which security suite you select, they all will enhance the over-the-air data
protection and /or privacy on your wireless network. The VigorAP 910C is very flexible and
can support multiple secure connections with both WEP and WPA at the same time.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) provides easy procedure to make network connection
between wireless station and wireless access point (VigorAP 910C) with the encryption of
WPA and WPA2.
It is the simplest way to build connection between wireless network clients and VigorAP
910C. Users do not need to select any encryption mode and type any long encryption
passphrase to setup a wireless client every time. He/she only needs to press a button on
wireless client, and WPS will connect for client and VigorAP 910C automatically.
Note: Such function is available for the wireless station with WPS supported.
There are two methods to do network connection through WPS between AP and Stations:
pressing the Start PBC button or using PIN Code.
On the side of VigorAP 910C series which served as an AP, press WPS button once on the
front panel of VigorAP 910C or click Start PBC on web configuration interface. On the side
of a station with network card installed, press Start PBC button of network card.

This page is to determine which algorithm will be selected for wireless transmission rate.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
Channel Width
20 MHz- VigorAP will use 20MHz for data transmission and
receiving between the AP and the stations.
Auto 20/40 MHz - VigorAP will scan for nearby wireless AP
to determine which channel width (20MHz or 40MHz) shall be
used to meet the air situation. Usually, 40MHz would have
better performance under the clean wireless environment (e.g.,
less wireless traffic / contention). When the air condition is not
satisfied (e.g., dirty air), 20MHz will be used by VigorAP
automatically to ensure smooth network transmission.
40 MHz - VigorAP will use 40MHz for data transmission and
receiving between the AP and the stations.
Packet-OVERDRIVE
This feature can enhance the performance in data transmission
about 40%* more (by checking Tx Burst). It is active only
when both sides of Access Point and Station (in wireless
client) invoke this function at the same time. That is, the
wireless client must support this feature and invoke the
function, too.
Note: Vigor N61 wireless adapter supports this function.
Therefore, you can use and install it into your PC for matching
with Packet-OVERDRIVE (refer to the following picture of
Vigor N61 wireless utility window, choose Enable for
TxBURST on the tab of Option).
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
61
Antenna
VigorAP can be attached with two antennas to have good data
transmission via wireless connection. However, if you have
only one antenna attached, please choose 1T1R.
Tx Power
The default setting is the maximum (100%). Lowering down
the value may degrade range and throughput of wireless.
Rate Adaptation
Algorithm
Wireless transmission rate is adapted dynamically. Usually,
performance of “new” algorithm is better than “old”.
Fragment Length
Set the Fragment threshold of wireless radio. Do not modify
default value if you don’t know what it is, default value is
2346.
RTS Threshold
Minimize the collision (unit is bytes) between hidden stations
to improve wireless performance.
Set the RTS threshold of wireless radio. Do not modify default
value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 2347.
Country Code
VigorAP broadcasts country codes by following the 802.11d
standard. However, some wireless stations will detect / scan
the country code to prevent conflict occurred. If conflict is
detected, wireless station will be warned and is unable to make
network connection. Therefore, changing the country code to
ensure successful network connection will be necessary for
some clients.
Auto Channel
Reselect
Enable – Usually, wireless channel determined by AutoSelect
(Wireless LAN>>General Setup) means Vigor router will
search for a channel with low interference automatically once
the system reboots. However, when the channel utilization is
more than 70% (refer to Diagnostics >> Interference
Monitor), Vigor router will search for and switch another
channel with low interference to obtain better wireless signal
again.
Auto Channel
Filtered Out List
The selected wireless channels will be discarded if AutoSelect
is selected as Channel selection mode in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup.
IGMP Snooping
Check Enable to enable IGMP Snooping. Multicast traffic will
be forwarded to ports that have members of that group.
Disabling IGMP snooping will make multicast traffic treated in
the same manner as broadcast traffic.
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
62
Isolate 2.4GHz and
5GHz bands
The default setting is “Enable”. It means that the wireless
client using 2.4GHz band is unable to connect to the wireless
client with 5GHz band, and vice versa.
For WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz set with the same SSID name:
No matter such function is enabled or disabled, clients
using WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz can communicate for
each other if Isolate Member (in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup) is NOT enabled for such SSID.
Yet, if the function of Isolate Member (in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup) is enabled for such SSID, clients
using WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz will be unable to
communicate with each other.
Isolate members with
IP
The default setting is “Disable”.
If it is enabled, VigorAP will isolate different wireless clients
according to their IP address(es).
MAC Clone
Click Enable and manually enter the MAC address of the
device with SSID 1. The MAC address of other SSIDs will
change based on this MAC address.

Airtime fairness is essential in wireless networks that must support critical enterprise
applications.
Most of the applications are either symmetric or require more downlink than uplink capacity;
telephony and email send the same amount of data in each direction, while video streaming
and web surfing involve more traffic sent from access points to clients than the other way
around. This is essential for ensuring predictable performance and quality-of-service, as well
as allowing 802.11n and legacy clients to coexist on the same network. Without airtime
fairness, offices using mixed mode networks risk having legacy clients slow down the entire
network or letting the fastest client(s) crowd out other users.
With airtime fairness, every client at a given quality-of-service level has equal access to the
network's airtime.
The wireless channel can be accessed by only one wireless station at the same time.
The principle behind the IEEE802.11 channel access mechanisms is that each station has
equal probability to access the channel. When wireless stations have similar data rate, this
principle leads to a fair result. In this case, stations get similar channel access time which is
called airtime.
However, when stations have various data rate (e.g., 11g, 11n), the result is not fair. The
slow stations (11g) work in their slow data rate and occupy too much airtime, whereas the
fast stations (11n) become much slower.
Take the following figure as an example, both Station A(11g) and Station B(11n) transmit
data packets through VigorAP 910C. Although they have equal probability to access the
wireless channel, Station B(11n) gets only a little airtime and waits too much because Station
A(11g) spends longer time to send one packet. In other words, Station B(fast rate) is
obstructed by Station A(slow rate).
To improve this problem, Airtime Fairness is added for VigorAP 910C. Airtime Fairness
function tries to assign similar airtime to each station (A/B) by controlling TX traffic. In the
following figure, Station B(11n) has higher probability to send data packets than Station
A(11g). By this way, Station B(fast rate) gets fair airtime and it's speed is not limited by
Station A(slow rate).
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide

It is similar to automatic Bandwidth Limit. The dynamic bandwidth limit of each station
depends on instant active station number and airtime assignment. Please note that Airtime
Fairness of 2.4GHz and 5GHz are independent. But stations of different SSIDs function
together, because they all use the same wireless channel. IN SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTS,
this function can reduce the bad influence of slow wireless devices and improve the overall
wireless performance.
Suitable environment:
(1) Many wireless stations.
(2) All stations mainly use download traffic.
(3) The performance bottleneck is wireless connection.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
Enable Airtime
Fairness
Try to assign similar airtime to each wireless station by
controlling TX traffic.

Station Control is used to specify the duration for the wireless client to connect and
reconnect VigorAP. If such function is not enabled, the wireless client can connect VigorAP
until it shuts down.
Such feature is especially useful for free Wi-Fi service. For example, a coffee shop offers
free Wi-Fi service for its guests for one hour every day. Then, the connection time can be set
as “1 hour” and reconnection time can be set as “1 day”. Thus, the guest can finish his job
within one hour and will not occupy the wireless network for a long time.
Note: Up to 300 Wireless Station records are supported by VigorAP.
Available settings are explained as follows:

The network signal for a single wireless access point might be limited by its coverage range.
Therefore, if you want to expand the wireless network in a large exhibition with a quick
method, you can install multiple access points with enabling the Roaming feature for each
AP to reach the purpose of expanding wireless signals seamlessly.
These access points connecting for each other shall be verified by pre-authentication. This
page allows you to enable the roaming feature and the pre-authentication.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
AP-assisted Client
Roaming Parameters
When the link rate of wireless station is too low or the signal
received by the wireless station is too worse, VigorAP 910C will
automatically detect (based on the link rate and RSSI
requirement) and cut off the network connection for that wireless
station to assist it to connect another Wireless AP to get better
signal.
Minimum Basic Rate – Check the box to use the drop down list
to specify a basic rate (Mbps). When the link rate of the wireless
station is below such value, VigorAP 910C will terminate the
network connection for that wireless station.
Disable RSSI Requirement - If it is selected, VigorAP will not
terminate the network connection based on RSSI.
Strictly Minimum RSSI - VigorAP uses RSSI (received signal
strength indicator) to decide to terminate the network connection
of wireless station. When the signal strength is below the value
(dBm) set here, VigorAP 910C will terminate the network
connection for that wireless station.
Minimum RSSI - When the signal strength of the wireless
station is below the value (dBm) set here and adjacent AP (must
be DrayTek AP and support such feature too) with higher signal
strength value (defined in the field of With Adjacent AP RSSI
over) is detected by VigorAP 910C, VigorAP 910C will
terminate the network connection for that wireless station. Later,
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide

the wireless station can connect to the adjacent AP (with better
RSSI).
With Adjacent AP RSSI over – Specify a value as a
threshold.
Fast Roaming
(WPA/802.1x)
Enable – Check the box to enable fast roaming configuration.
PMK Cache Period - Set the expire time of WPA2 PMK
(Pairwise master key) cache. PMK Cache manages the list from
the BSSIDs in the associated SSID with which it has
pre-authenticated. Such feature is available for WPA2/802.1
mode.
Pre-Authentication - Enables a station to authenticate to
multiple APs for roaming securer and faster. With the
pre-authentication procedure defined in IEEE 802.11i
specification, the pre-four-way-handshake can reduce handoff
delay perceivable by a mobile node. It makes roaming faster and
more secure. (Only valid in WPA2)
Enable - Enable IEEE 802.1X Pre-Authentication.
Disable - Disable IEEE 802.1X Pre-Authentication.

Band Steering detects if the wireless clients are capable of 5GHz operation, and steers them
to that frequency. It helps to leave 2.4GHz band available for legacy clients, and improves
users experience by reducing channel utilization.
If dual-band is detected, the AP will let the wireless client connect to less congested wireless
LAN, such as 5GHz to prevent from network congestion.
Note: To make Band Steering work successfully, SSID and security on 2.4GHz also
MUST be broadcasted on 5GHz.

Check Time…. – If the wireless station does not have the
capability of 5GHz network connection, the system shall
wait and check for several seconds (15 seconds, in default)
to make the 2.4GHz network connection. Specify the time
limit for VigorAP to detect the wireless client.
5GHz Minimum RSSI – The wireless station has the
capability of 5GHz network connection, yet the signal

Security Mode
802.11 standard defines two mechanisms for authentication of
wireless LAN clients: Open Authentication and Shared Key
Authentication.
Choose one of the security modes from the drop down list. If
you choose OPEN or SHARED, you have to type WEP
information.
OPEN – Open authentication is basically null authentication
algorithm, which means that there is no verification of the
user.
SHARED – It works similar to Open authentication with only
one major difference. If you choose OPEN with WEP
encryption key, the WEP keys is used to encrypt and decrypt
the data but not for authentication. In Shared key
authentication, WEP encryption will be used for
authentication.
If you choose WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal, the
corresponding WPA settings will be listed as follows. You
have to choose the WPA algorithms and type the pass phrase
for such security mode.
WPA Algorithms – Choose Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP) or AES for data encryption.
Pass Phrase – Please type 8 to 63 alphanumerical characters
here.
WEP
WEP Key Length - WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a
common encryption mode. It is safe enough for home and
personal use. However, if you need higher level of security,
please consider using WPA encryption (see next section).
Some wireless clients do not support WPA, but support WEP.
Therefore WEP is still a good choice for you if you have such
kind of client in your network environment.
WEP Key Entry Method - There are two types of WEP key
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
83
length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Using 128-bit is safer than 64-bit,
but it will reduce some data transfer performance.
There are two types of key method: ASCII and Hex. When
you
select a key format, the number of characters of key will
be
displayed. For example, if you select 64-bit as key length,
and
Hex as key format, you’ll see the message at the right of
Key
Format is ‘Hex (10 characters) which means the length of
WEP key is 10 characters.
WEP Keys (Key 1 – Key 4) - Four keys can be entered here,
but only one key can be selected at a time. The format of WEP
Key is restricted to 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal
values in 64-bit encryption level, or restricted to 13 ASCII
characters or 26 hexadecimal values in 128-bit encryption
level. The allowed content is the ASCII characters from 33(!)
to 126(~) except '#' and ','. Such feature is available for WEP
mode.
Default Key – Choose one of the key settings.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection between wireless
network clients and the access point. You don’t have to select encryption mode and input a
long encryption passphrase every time when you need to setup a wireless client. You only
have to press a button on wireless client and the access point, and the WPS will do the setup
for you.
VigorAP 910C supports two types of WPS: Push-Button Configuration (PBC), and PIN code.
If you want to use PBC, you have to switch VigorAP 910C to WPS mode and push a specific
button on the wireless client to start WPS mode. You can push Reset/WPS button of this
VigorAP 910C, or click PBC Start button in the web configuration interface to do this; if you
want to use PIN code, you have to provide the PIN code of the wireless client you wish to
connect to this access point and then switch the wireless client to WPS mode.
Note: WPS function of VigorAP 910C will not work for those wireless AP/clients do not
support WPS.
To use WPS function to set encrypted connection between VigorAP 910C and WPS-enabled
wireless AP, please open Wireless LAN >>WPS. The following information will be

This page is to determine which algorithm will be selected for wireless transmission rate.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
Channel Width
20 MHZ- the device will use 20MHz for data transmission and
receiving between the AP and the stations.
Auto 20/40 MHZ – VigorAP will scan for nearby wireless AP
to determine which channel width (20MHz or 40MHz) shall be
used to meet the air situation. Usually, 40MHz would have
better performance under the clean wireless environment (e.g.,
less wireless traffic / contention). When the air condition is not
satisfied (e.g., dirty air), 20MHz will be used by VigorAP
automatically to ensure smooth network transmission.
40 MHZ- the device will use 40MHz for data transmission and
receiving between the AP and the stations.
Packet-OVERDRIVE
This feature can enhance the performance in data transmission
about 40%* more (by checking Tx Burst). It is active only
when both sides of Access Point and Station (in wireless
client) invoke this function at the same time. That is, the
wireless client must support this feature and invoke the
function, too.
Note: Vigor N61 wireless adapter supports this function.
Therefore, you can use and install it into your PC for matching
with Packet-OVERDRIVE (refer to the following picture of
Vigor N61 wireless utility window, choose Enable for
TxBURST on the tab of Option).
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide

default value if you don’t know what it is, default value is
2346.
RTS Threshold
Minimize the collision (unit is bytes) between hidden stations
to improve wireless performance.
Set the RTS threshold of wireless radio. Do not modify default
value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 2347.
Country Code
VigorAP broadcasts country codes by following the 802.11d
standard. However, some wireless stations will detect / scan
the country code to prevent conflict occurred. If conflict is
detected, wireless station will be warned and is unable to make
network connection. Therefore, changing the country code to
ensure successful network connection will be necessary for
some clients.
Auto Channel
Reselect
Enable – Usually, wireless channel determined by AutoSelect
(Wireless LAN>>General Setup) means Vigor router will
search for a channel with low interference automatically once
the system reboots. However, when the channel utilization is
more than 70% (refer to Diagnostics >> Interference
Monitor), Vigor router will search for and switch another
channel with low interference to obtain better wireless signal
again.

WMM is an abbreviation of Wi-Fi Multimedia. It defines the priority levels for four access
categories derived from 802.1d (prioritization tabs). The categories are designed with
specific types of traffic, voice, video, best effort and low priority data. There are four
accessing categories - AC_BE , AC_BK, AC_VI and AC_VO for WMM.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
WMM Capable
To apply WMM parameters for wireless data transmission,
please click the Enable radio button.
Aifsn
It controls how long the client waits for each data transmission.
Please specify the value ranging from 1 to 15. Such parameter
will influence the time delay for WMM accessing categories.
For the service of voice or video image, please set small value
for AC_VI and AC_VO categories For the service of e-mail or
web browsing, please set large value for AC_BE and AC_BK
categories.
CWMin/CWMax
CWMin means contention Window-Min and CWMax means
contention Window-Max. Please specify the value ranging from
1 to 15. Be aware that CWMax value must be greater than
CWMin or equals to CWMin value. Both values will influence
the time delay for WMM accessing categories. The difference
between AC_VI and AC_VO categories must be smaller;
however, the difference between AC_BE and AC_BK categories
must be greater.
Txop
It means transmission opportunity. For WMM categories of
AC_VI and AC_VO that need higher priorities in data
transmission, please set greater value for them to get highest
transmission opportunity. Specify the value ranging from 0 to
65535.
ACM
It is an abbreviation of Admission control Mandatory. It can
restrict stations from using specific category class if it is
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
109
checked.
Note: Vigor AP provides standard WMM configuration in the
web page. If you want to modify the parameters, please refer to
the Wi-Fi WMM standard specification.
AckPolicy
“Uncheck” (default value) the box means the AP will answer the
response request while transmitting WMM packets through
wireless connection. It can assure that the peer must receive the
WMM packets.
“Check” the box means the AP will not answer any response
request for the transmitting packets. It will have better
performance with lower reliability.

Airtime fairness is essential in wireless networks that must support critical enterprise
applications.
Most of the applications are either symmetric or require more downlink than uplink capacity;
telephony and email send the same amount of data in each direction, while video streaming
and web surfing involve more traffic sent from access points to clients than the other way
around. This is essential for ensuring predictable performance and quality-of-service, as well
as allowing 802.11n and legacy clients to coexist on the same network. Without airtime
fairness, offices using mixed mode networks risk having legacy clients slow down the entire
network or letting the fastest client(s) crowd out other users.
With airtime fairness, every client at a given quality-of-service level has equal access to the
network's airtime.
The wireless channel can be accessed by only one wireless station at the same time.
The principle behind the IEEE802.11 channel access mechanisms is that each station has
equal probability to access the channel. When wireless stations have similar data rate, this
principle leads to a fair result. In this case, stations get similar channel access time which is
called airtime.
However, when stations have various data rate (e.g., 11g, 11n), the result is not fair. The
slow stations (11g) work in their slow data rate and occupy too much airtime, whereas the
fast stations (11n) become much slower.
Take the following figure as an example, both Station A(11g) and Station B(11n) transmit
data packets through VigorAP 910C. Although they have equal probability to access the
wireless channel, Station B(11n) gets only a little airtime and waits too much because Station
A(11g) spends longer time to send one packet. In other words, Station B(fast rate) is
obstructed by Station A(slow rate).
To improve this problem, Airtime Fairness is added for VigorAP 910C. Airtime Fairness
function tries to assign similar airtime to each station (A/B) by controlling TX traffic. In the
following figure, Station B(11n) has higher probability to send data packets than Station
A(11g). By this way, Station B(fast rate) gets fair airtime and it's speed is not limited by
Station A(slow rate).
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
112
It is similar to automatic Bandwidth Limit. The dynamic bandwidth limit of each station
depends on instant active station number and airtime assignment. Please note that Airtime
Fairness of 2.4GHz and 5GHz are independent. But stations of different SSIDs function
together, because they all use the same wireless channel. IN SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTS,
this function can reduce the bad influence of slow wireless devices and improve the overall
wireless performance.
Suitable environment:
(1) Many wireless stations.
(2) All stations mainly use download traffic.
(3) The performance bottleneck is wireless connection.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
Enable Airtime
Fairness
Try to assign similar airtime to each wireless station by
controlling TX traffic.
Airtime Fairness – Click the link to display the following
screen of airtime fairness note.

After finishing this web page configuration, please click OK to save the settings.

Note: Airtime Fairness function and Bandwidth Limit function should be mutually
exclusive. So their webs have extra actions to ensure these two functions are not enabled

Station Control is used to specify the duration for the wireless client to connect and
reconnect VigorAP. If such function is not enabled, the wireless client can connect VigorAP
until it shuts down.
Such feature is especially useful for free Wi-Fi service. For example, a coffee shop offers
free Wi-Fi service for its guests for one hour every day. Then, the connection time can be set
as “1 hour” and reconnection time can be set as “1 day”. Thus, the guest can finish his job
within one hour and will not occupy the wireless network for a long time.
Note: Up to 300 Wireless Station records are supported by VigorAP.

The network signal for a single wireless access point might be limited by its coverage range.
Therefore, if you want to expand the wireless network in a large exhibition with a quick
method, you can install multiple access points with enabling the Roaming feature for each
AP to reach the purpose of expanding wireless signals seamlessly.
These access points connecting for each other shall be verified by pre-authentication. This
page allows you to enable the roaming feature and the pre-authentication.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
AP-assisted Client
Roaming Parameters
When the link rate of wireless station is too low or the signal
received by the wireless station is too worse, VigorAP 910C will
automatically detect (based on the link rate and RSSI
requirement) and cut off the network connection for that wireless
station to assist it to connect another Wireless AP to get better
signal.
Minimum Basic Rate – Check the box to use the drop down list
to specify a basic rate (Mbps). When the link rate of the wireless
station is below such value, VigorAP 910C will terminate the
network connection for that wireless station.
Disable RSSI Requirement - If it is selected, VigorAP will not
terminate the network connection based on RSSI.
Strictly Minimum RSSI - VigorAP uses RSSI (received signal
strength indicator) to decide to terminate the network connection
of wireless station. When the signal strength is below the value
(dBm) set here, VigorAP 910C will terminate the network
connection for that wireless station.
Minimum RSSI - When the signal strength of the wireless
station is below the value (dBm) set here and adjacent AP (must
be DrayTek AP and support such feature too) with higher signal
strength value (defined in the field of With Adjacent AP RSSI
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
115
over) is detected by VigorAP 910C, VigorAP 910C will
terminate the network connection for that wireless station. Later,
the wireless station can connect to the adjacent AP (with better
RSSI).
With Adjacent AP RSSI over – Specify a value as a
threshold.
Fast Roaming
(WPA/802.1x)
Enable – Check the box to enable fast roaming configuration.
PMK Cache Period - Set the expire time of WPA2 PMK
(Pairwise master key) cache. PMK Cache manages the list from
the BSSIDs in the associated SSID with which it has
pre-authenticated. Such feature is available for WPA2/802.1
mode.
Pre-Authentication - Enables a station to authenticate to
multiple APs for roaming securer and faster. With the
pre-authentication procedure defined in IEEE 802.11i
specification, the pre-four-way-handshake can reduce handoff
delay perceivable by a mobile node. It makes roaming faster and
more secure. (Only valid in WPA2)
Enable - Enable IEEE 802.1X Pre-Authentication.
Disable - Disable IEEE 802.1X Pre-Authentication.

Band Steering detects if the wireless clients are capable of 5GHz operation, and steers them
to that frequency. It helps to leave 2.4GHz band available for legacy clients, and improves
users experience by reducing channel utilization.
If dual-band is detected, the AP will let the wireless client connect to less congested wireless
LAN, such as 5GHz to prevent from network congestion.
Note: To make Band Steering work successfully, SSID and security on 2.4GHz also
MUST be broadcasted on 5GHz.

This page is to determine which algorithm will be selected for wireless transmission rate.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
Channel Width
20 MHz- the AP will use 20MHz for data transmission and
receiving between the AP and the stations.
Auto 20/40 MHz – VigorAP will scan for nearby wireless AP
to determine which channel width (20MHz or 40MHz) shall be
used to meet the air situation. Usually, 40MHz would have
better performance under the clean wireless environment (e.g.,
less wireless traffic / contention). When the air condition is not
satisfied (e.g., dirty air), 20MHz will be used by VigorAP
automatically to ensure smooth network transmission.
40 MHz- the AP will use 40MHz for data transmission and
receiving between the AP and the stations.
Packet-OVERDRIVE
This feature can enhance the performance in data transmission
about 40%* more (by checking Tx Burst). It is active only
when both sides of Access Point and Station (in wireless
client) invoke this function at the same time. That is, the
wireless client must support this feature and invoke the
function, too.
Note: Vigor N61 wireless adapter supports this function.
Therefore, you can use and install it into your PC for matching
with Packet-OVERDRIVE (refer to the following picture of
Vigor N61 wireless utility window, choose Enable for
TxBURST on the tab of Option).
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
131
Antenna
VigorAP 910C can be attached with two antennas to have good
data transmission via wireless connection. However, if you
have only one antenna attached, please choose 1T1R.
Tx Power
The default setting is the maximum (100%). Lower down the
value may degrade range and throughput of wireless.
Rate Adaptation
Algorithm
Wireless transmission rate is adapted dynamically. Usually,
performance of “new” algorithm is better than “old”.
Fragment Length
Set the Fragment threshold of wireless radio. Do not modify
default value if you don’t know what it is, default value is
2346.
RTS Threshold
Minimize the collision (unit is bytes) between hidden stations
to improve wireless performance.
Set the RTS threshold of wireless radio. Do not modify default
value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 2347.
Country Code
VigorAP broadcasts country codes by following the 802.11d
standard. However, some wireless stations will detect / scan
the country code to prevent conflict occurred. If conflict is
detected, wireless station will be warned and is unable to make
network connection. Therefore, changing the country code to
ensure successful network connection will be necessary for
some clients.
Auto Channel
Reselect
Enable – Usually, wireless channel determined by AutoSelect
(Wireless LAN>>General Setup) means Vigor router will
search for a channel with low interference automatically once
the system reboots. However, when the channel utilization is
more than 70% (refer to Diagnostics >> Interference
Monitor), Vigor router will search for and switch another
channel with low interference to obtain better wireless signal
again.
Auto Channel
Filtered Out List
The selected wireless channels will be discarded if AutoSelect
is selected as Channel selection mode in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup.
IGMP Snooping
Check Enable to enable IGMP Snooping. Multicast traffic will
be forwarded to ports that have members of that group.
Disabling IGMP snooping will make multicast traffic treated in
the same manner as broadcast traffic.
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide

Isolate 2.4GHz and
5GHz bands
The default setting is “Enable”. It means that the wireless
client using 2.4GHz band is unable to connect to the wireless
client with 5GHz band, and vice versa.
For WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz set with the same SSID name:
No matter such function is enabled or disabled, clients
using WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz can communicate for
each other if Isolate Member (in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup) is NOT enabled for such SSID.
Yet, if the function of Isolate Member (in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup) is enabled for such SSID, clients
using WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz will be unable to
communicate with each other.
Isolate members with
IP
The default setting is “Disable”.
If it is enabled, VigorAP will isolate different wireless clients
according to their IP address(es).

WMM is an abbreviation of Wi-Fi Multimedia. It defines the priority levels for four access
categories derived from 802.1d (prioritization tabs). The categories are designed with
specific types of traffic, voice, video, best effort and low priority data. There are four
accessing categories - AC_BE , AC_BK, AC_VI and AC_VO for WMM.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
WMM Capable
To apply WMM parameters for wireless data transmission,
please click the Enable radio button.
Aifsn
It controls how long the client waits for each data transmission.
Please specify the value ranging from 1 to 15. Such parameter
will influence the time delay for WMM accessing categories.
For the service of voice or video image, please set small value
for AC_VI and AC_VO categories For the service of e-mail or
web browsing, please set large value for AC_BE and AC_BK
categories.
CWMin/CWMax
CWMin means contention Window-Min and CWMax means
contention Window-Max. Please specify the value ranging from
1 to 15. Be aware that CWMax value must be greater than
CWMin or equals to CWMin value. Both values will influence
the time delay for WMM accessing categories. The difference
between AC_VI and AC_VO categories must be smaller;
however, the difference between AC_BE and AC_BK categories
must be greater.
Txop
It means transmission opportunity. For WMM categories of
AC_VI and AC_VO that need higher priorities in data
transmission, please set greater value for them to get highest
transmission opportunity. Specify the value ranging from 0 to
65535.
ACM
It is an abbreviation of Admission control Mandatory. It can
restrict stations from using specific category class if it is
checked.

Airtime fairness is essential in wireless networks that must support critical enterprise
applications.
Most of the applications are either symmetric or require more downlink than uplink capacity;
telephony and email send the same amount of data in each direction, while video streaming
and web surfing involve more traffic sent from access points to clients than the other way
around. This is essential for ensuring predictable performance and quality-of-service, as well
as allowing 802.11n and legacy clients to coexist on the same network. Without airtime
fairness, offices using mixed mode networks risk having legacy clients slow down the entire
network or letting the fastest client(s) crowd out other users.
With airtime fairness, every client at a given quality-of-service level has equal access to the
network's airtime.
The wireless channel can be accessed by only one wireless station at the same time.
The principle behind the IEEE802.11 channel access mechanisms is that each station has
equal probability to access the channel. When wireless stations have similar data rate, this
principle leads to a fair result. In this case, stations get similar channel access time which is
called airtime.
However, when stations have various data rate (e.g., 11g, 11n), the result is not fair. The
slow stations (11g) work in their slow data rate and occupy too much airtime, whereas the
fast stations (11n) become much slower.
Take the following figure as an example, both Station A(11g) and Station B(11n) transmit
data packets through VigorAP 910C. Although they have equal probability to access the
wireless channel, Station B(11n) gets only a little airtime and waits too much because Station
A(11g) spends longer time to send one packet. In other words, Station B(fast rate) is
obstructed by Station A(slow rate).
To improve this problem, Airtime Fairness is added for VigorAP 910C. Airtime Fairness
function tries to assign similar airtime to each station (A/B) by controlling TX traffic. In the
following figure, Station B(11n) has higher probability to send data packets than Station
A(11g). By this way, Station B(fast rate) gets fair airtime and it's speed is not limited by
Station A(slow rate).
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
141
It is similar to automatic Bandwidth Limit. The dynamic bandwidth limit of each station
depends on instant active station number and airtime assignment. Please note that Airtime
Fairness of 2.4GHz and 5GHz are independent. But stations of different SSIDs function
together, because they all use the same wireless channel. IN SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTS,
this function can reduce the bad influence of slow wireless devices and improve the overall
wireless performance.
Suitable environment:
(1) Many wireless stations.
(2) All stations mainly use download traffic.
(3) The performance bottleneck is wireless connection.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
Enable Airtime
Fairness
Try to assign similar airtime to each wireless station by
controlling TX traffic.
Airtime Fairness – Click the link to display the following
screen of airtime fairness note.

Such feature is especially useful for free Wi-Fi service. For example, a coffee shop offers
free Wi-Fi service for its guests for one hour every day. Then, the connection time can be set
as “1 hour” and reconnection time can be set as “1 day”. Thus, the guest can finish his job
within one hour and will not occupy the wireless network for a long time.

The network signal for a single wireless access point might be limited by its coverage range.
Therefore, if you want to expand the wireless network in a large exhibition with a quick
method, you can install multiple access points with enabling the Roaming feature for each
AP to reach the purpose of expanding wireless signals seamlessly.
These access points connecting for each other shall be verified by pre-authentication. This
page allows you to enable the roaming feature and the pre-authentication.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
AP-assisted Client
Roaming Parameters
When the link rate of wireless station is too low or the signal
received by the wireless station is too worse, VigorAP 910C will
automatically detect (based on the link rate and RSSI
requirement) and cut off the network connection for that wireless
station to assist it to connect another Wireless AP to get better
signal.
Minimum Basic Rate – Check the box to use the drop down list
to specify a basic rate (Mbps). When the link rate of the wireless
station is below such value, VigorAP 910C will terminate the
network connection for that wireless station.
Disable RSSI Requirement - If it is selected, VigorAP will not
terminate the network connection based on RSSI.
Strictly Minimum RSSI - VigorAP uses RSSI (received signal
strength indicator) to decide to terminate the network connection
of wireless station. When the signal strength is below the value
(dBm) set here, VigorAP 910C will terminate the network
connection for that wireless station.
Minimum RSSI - When the signal strength of the wireless
station is below the value (dBm) set here and adjacent AP (must
be DrayTek AP and support such feature too) with higher signal
strength value (defined in the field of With Adjacent AP RSSI
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide

Band Steering detects if the wireless clients are capable of 5GHz operation, and steers them
to that frequency. It helps to leave 2.4GHz band available for legacy clients, and improves
users experience by reducing channel utilization.
If dual-band is detected, the AP will let the wireless client connect to less congested wireless
LAN, such as 5GHz to prevent from network congestion.
Note: To make Band Steering work successfully, SSID and security on 2.4GHz also
MUST be broadcasted on 5GHz.

This page allows users to set advanced settings such as operation mode, channel bandwidth,
guard interval, and aggregation MSDU for wireless data transmission.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
Channel Width
20 MHz- the AP will use 20MHz for data transmission and
receiving between the AP and the stations.
Auto 20/40 MHz –VigorAP will scan for nearby wireless AP
to determine which channel width (20MHz or 40MHz) shall be
used to meet the air situation. Usually, 40MHz would have
better performance under the clean wireless environment (e.g.,
less wireless traffic / contention). When the air condition is not
satisfied (e.g., dirty air), 20MHz will be used by VigorAP
automatically to ensure smooth network transmission.
Auto 20/40/80 MHz –VigorAP will scan for nearby wireless
AP to determine which channel width (20MHz or 40MHz or
80MHz) shall be used to meet the air situation. Usually, large
bandwidth would have better performance under the clean
wireless environment (e.g., less wireless traffic / contention).
When the air condition is not satisfied (e.g., dirty air), small
bandwidth will be used by VigorAP automatically to ensure
smooth network transmission.
Tx Power
The default setting is the maximum (100%). Lower down the
value may degrade range and throughput of wireless.
Fragment Length
(256 – 2346)
Set the Fragment threshold. Do not modify
default value if you
don’t know what it is, default value is
2346.
RTS Threshold
(1 – 2347)
Minimize the collision (unit is bytes) between hidden stations
to improve wireless performance.
Set the RTS threshold. Do not modify default
value if you don’t
know what it is, default value is 2347.
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
160
Country Code
VigorAP broadcasts country codes by following the 802.11d
standard. However, some wireless stations will detect / scan
the country code to prevent conflict occurred. If conflict is
detected, wireless station will be warned and is unable to make
network connection. Therefore, changing the country code to
ensure successful network connection will be necessary for
some clients.
Auto Channel
Reselect
Enable – Usually, wireless channel determined by AutoSelect
(Wireless LAN>>General Setup) means Vigor router will
search for a channel with low interference automatically once
the system reboots. However, when the channel utilization is
more than 70% (refer to Diagnostics >> Interference
Monitor), Vigor router will search for and switch another
channel with low interference to obtain better wireless signal
again.
Auto Channel
Filtered Out List
The selected wireless channels will be discarded if AutoSelect
is selected as Channel selection mode in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup.
Isolate 2.4GHz and
5GHz bands
The default setting is “Enable”. It means that the wireless
client using 2.4GHz band is unable to connect to the wireless
client with 5GHz band, and vice versa.
For WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz set with the same SSID name:
No matter such function is enabled or disabled, clients
using WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz can communicate for
each other if Isolate Member (in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup) is NOT enabled for such SSID.
Yet, if the function of Isolate Member (in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup) is enabled for such SSID, clients
using WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz will be unable to
communicate with each other.
Isolate members with
IP
The default setting is “Disable”.
If it is enabled, VigorAP will isolate different wireless clients
according to their IP address(es).

WMM is an abbreviation of Wi-Fi Multimedia. It defines the priority levels for four access
categories derived from 802.1d (prioritization tabs). The categories are designed with
specific types of traffic, voice, video, best effort and low priority data. There are four
accessing categories - AC_BE , AC_BK, AC_VI and AC_VO for WMM.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
WMM Capable
To apply WMM parameters for wireless data transmission,
please click the Enable radio button.
APSD Capable
APSD (automatic power-save delivery) is an enhancement over
the power-save mechanisms supported by Wi-Fi networks. It
allows devices to take more time in sleeping state and consume
less power to improve the performance by minimizing
transmission latency.
The default setting is Disable.
Aifsn
It controls how long the client waits for each data transmission.
Please specify the value ranging from 1 to 15. Such parameter
will influence the time delay for WMM accessing categories.
For the service of voice or video image, please set small value
for AC_VI and AC_VO categories For the service of e-mail or
web browsing, please set large value for AC_BE and AC_BK
categories.
CWMin/CWMax
CWMin means contention Window-Min and CWMax means
contention Window-Max. Please specify the value ranging from
1 to 15. Be aware that CWMax value must be greater than
CWMin or equals to CWMin value. Both values will influence
the time delay for WMM accessing categories. The difference
between AC_VI and AC_VO categories must be smaller;
however, the difference between AC_BE and AC_BK categories
must be greater.
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
164
Txop
It means transmission opportunity. For WMM categories of
AC_VI and AC_VO that need higher priorities in data
transmission, please set greater value for them to get highest
transmission opportunity. Specify the value ranging from 0 to
65535.
ACM
It is an abbreviation of Admission control Mandatory. It can
restrict stations from using specific category class if it is
checked.
Note: VigorAP 910C provides standard WMM configuration in
the web page. If you want to modify the parameters, please refer
to the Wi-Fi WMM standard specification.
AckPolicy
“Uncheck” (default value) the box means the AP will answer the
response request while transmitting WMM packets through

Airtime fairness is essential in wireless networks that must support critical enterprise
applications.
Most of the applications are either symmetric or require more downlink than uplink capacity;
telephony and email send the same amount of data in each direction, while video streaming
and web surfing involve more traffic sent from access points to clients than the other way
around. This is essential for ensuring predictable performance and quality-of-service, as well
as allowing 802.11n and legacy clients to coexist on the same network. Without airtime
fairness, offices using mixed mode networks risk having legacy clients slow down the entire
network or letting the fastest client(s) crowd out other users.
With airtime fairness, every client at a given quality-of-service level has equal access to the
network's airtime.
The wireless channel can be accessed by only one wireless station at the same time.
The principle behind the IEEE802.11 channel access mechanisms is that each station has
equal probability to access the channel. When wireless stations have similar data rate, this
principle leads to a fair result. In this case, stations get similar channel access time which is
called airtime.
However, when stations have various data rate (e.g., 11g, 11n), the result is not fair. The
slow stations (11g) work in their slow data rate and occupy too much airtime, whereas the
fast stations (11n) become much slower.
Take the following figure as an example, both Station A(11g) and Station B(11n) transmit
data packets through VigorAP 910C. Although they have equal probability to access the
wireless channel, Station B(11n) gets only a little airtime and waits too much because Station
A(11g) spends longer time to send one packet. In other words, Station B(fast rate) is
obstructed by Station A(slow rate).
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
166
To improve this problem, Airtime Fairness is added for VigorAP 910C. Airtime Fairness
function tries to assign similar airtime to each station (A/B) by controlling TX traffic. In the
following figure, Station B(11n) has higher probability to send data packets than Station
A(11g). By this way, Station B(fast rate) gets fair airtime and it's speed is not limited by
Station A(slow rate).
It is similar to automatic Bandwidth Limit. The dynamic bandwidth limit of each station
depends on instant active station number and airtime assignment. Please note that Airtime
Fairness of 2.4GHz and 5GHz are independent. But stations of different SSIDs function
together, because they all use the same wireless channel. IN SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTS,
this function can reduce the bad influence of slow wireless devices and improve the overall
wireless performance.
Suitable environment:
(1) Many wireless stations.
(2) All stations mainly use download traffic.
(3) The performance bottleneck is wireless connection.
Available settings are explained as follows:

Note: Airtime Fairness function and Bandwidth Limit function should be mutually
exclusive. So their webs have extra actions to ensure these two functions are not enabled
simultaneously.

Station Control is used to specify the duration for the wireless client to connect and
reconnect VigorAP. If such function is not enabled, the wireless client can connect VigorAP
until it shuts down.
Such feature is especially useful for free Wi-Fi service. For example, a coffee shop offers
free Wi-Fi service for its guests for one hour every day. Then, the connection time can be set
as “1 hour” and reconnection time can be set as “1 day”. Thus, the guest can finish his job
within one hour and will not occupy the wireless network for a long time.
Note: Up to 300 Wireless Station records are supported by VigorAP.
Available settings are explained as follows:

The network signal for a single wireless access point might be limited by its coverage range.
Therefore, if you want to expand the wireless network in a large exhibition with a quick
method, you can install multiple access points with enabling the Roaming feature for each
AP to reach the purpose of expanding wireless signals seamlessly.
These access points connecting for each other shall be verified by pre-authentication. This
page allows you to enable the roaming feature and the pre-authentication.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
AP-assisted Client
Roaming Parameters
When the link rate of wireless station is too low or the signal
received by the wireless station is too worse, VigorAP 910C will
automatically detect (based on the link rate and RSSI
requirement) and cut off the network connection for that wireless
station to assist it to connect another Wireless AP to get better
signal.
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
169
Minimum Basic Rate – Check the box to use the drop down list
to specify a basic rate (Mbps). When the link rate of the wireless
station is below such value, VigorAP 910C will terminate the
network connection for that wireless station.
Disable RSSI Requirement - If it is selected, VigorAP will not
terminate the network connection based on RSSI.
Strictly Minimum RSSI - VigorAP uses RSSI (received signal
strength indicator) to decide to terminate the network connection
of wireless station. When the signal strength is below the value
(dBm) set here, VigorAP 910C will terminate the network
connection for that wireless station.
Minimum RSSI - When the signal strength of the wireless
station is below the value (dBm) set here and adjacent AP (must
be DrayTek AP and support such feature too) with higher signal
strength value (defined in the field of With Adjacent AP RSSI
over) is detected by VigorAP 910C, VigorAP 910C will
terminate the network connection for that wireless station. Later,
the wireless station can connect to the adjacent AP (with better
RSSI).
With Adjacent AP RSSI over – Specify a value as a
threshold.
Fast Roaming
(WPA2/802.1x)
Enable – Check the box to enable fast roaming configuration.
PMK Cache Period - Set the expire time of WPA2 PMK
(Pairwise master key) cache. PMK Cache manages the list from
the BSSIDs in the associated SSID with which it has
pre-authenticated. Such feature is available for WPA2/802.1
mode.
Pre-Authentication - Enables a station to authenticate to
multiple APs for roaming securer and faster. With the
pre-authentication procedure defined in IEEE 802.11i
specification, the pre-four-way-handshake can reduce handoff
delay perceivable by a mobile node. It makes roaming faster and
more secure. (Only valid in WPA2)
Enable - Enable IEEE 802.1X Pre-Authentication.
Disable - Disable IEEE 802.1X Pre-Authentication.

This page is to determine which algorithm will be selected for wireless transmission rate.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
Channel Width
20 MHz- the device will use 20MHz for data transmission and
receiving between the AP and the stations.
Auto 20/40 MHz– VigorAP will scan for nearby wireless AP to
determine which channel width (20MHz or 40MHz) shall be
used to meet the air situation. Usually, 40MHz would have
better performance under the clean wireless environment (e.g.,
less wireless traffic / contention). When the air condition is not
satisfied (e.g., dirty air), 20MHz will be used by VigorAP
automatically to ensure smooth network transmission.
Auto 20/40/80 MHz –VigorAP will scan for nearby wireless AP
to determine which channel width (20MHz or 40MHz or
80MHz) shall be used to meet the air situation. Usually, large
bandwidth would have better performance under the clean
wireless environment (e.g., less wireless traffic / contention).
When the air condition is not satisfied (e.g., dirty air), small
bandwidth will be used by VigorAP automatically to ensure
smooth network transmission.
Tx Power
The default setting is the maximum (100%). Lower down the
value may degrade range and throughput of wireless.
Fragment Length
Set the Fragment threshold of wireless radio. Do not modify
default value if you don’t know what it is, default value is
2346.
RTS Threshold
Minimize the collision (unit is bytes) between hidden stations to
improve wireless performance.
Set the RTS threshold of wireless radio. Do not modify default
value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 2347.
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
180
Country Code
VigorAP broadcasts country codes by following the 802.11d
standard. However, some wireless stations will detect / scan the
country code to prevent conflict occurred. If conflict is detected,
wireless station will be warned and is unable to make network
connection. Therefore, changing the country code to ensure
successful network connection will be necessary for some
clients.
Auto Channel
Reselect
Enable – Usually, wireless channel determined by AutoSelect
(Wireless LAN>>General Setup) means Vigor router will
search for a channel with low interference automatically once
the system reboots. However, when the channel utilization is
more than 70% (refer to Diagnostics >> Interference Monitor),
Vigor router will search for and switch another channel with low
interference to obtain better wireless signal again.
Auto Channel
Filtered Out List
The selected wireless channels will be discarded if AutoSelect is
selected as Channel selection mode in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup.
Isolate 2.4GHz and
5GHz bands
The default setting is “Enable”. It means that the wireless client
using 2.4GHz band is unable to connect to the wireless client
with 5GHz band, and vice versa.
For WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz set with the same SSID name:
No matter such function is enabled or disabled, clients
using WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz can communicate for
each other if Isolate Member (in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup) is NOT enabled for such SSID.
Yet, if the function of Isolate Member (in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup) is enabled for such SSID, clients
using WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz will be unable to
communicate with each other.
Isolate members with
IP
The default setting is “Disable”.
If it is enabled, VigorAP will isolate different wireless clients
according to their IP address(es).

WMM is an abbreviation of Wi-Fi Multimedia. It defines the priority levels for four access
categories derived from 802.1d (prioritization tabs). The categories are designed with
specific types of traffic, voice, video, best effort and low priority data. There are four
accessing categories - AC_BE , AC_BK, AC_VI and AC_VO for WMM.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
WMM Capable
To apply WMM parameters for wireless data transmission,
please click the Enable radio button.
APSD Capable
APSD (automatic power-save delivery) is an enhancement over
the power-save mechanisms supported by Wi-Fi networks. It
allows devices to take more time in sleeping state and consume
less power to improve the performance by minimizing
transmission latency.
The default setting is Disable.
Aifsn
It controls how long the client waits for each data transmission.
Please specify the value ranging from 1 to 15. Such parameter
will influence the time delay for WMM accessing categories.
For the service of voice or video image, please set small value
for AC_VI and AC_VO categories For the service of e-mail or
web browsing, please set large value for AC_BE and AC_BK
categories.
CWMin/CWMax
CWMin means contention Window-Min and CWMax means
contention Window-Max. Please specify the value ranging from
1 to 15. Be aware that CWMax value must be greater than
CWMin or equals to CWMin value. Both values will influence
the time delay for WMM accessing categories. The difference
between AC_VI and AC_VO categories must be smaller;
however, the difference between AC_BE and AC_BK categories
must be greater.
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
184
Txop
It means transmission opportunity. For WMM categories of
AC_VI and AC_VO that need higher priorities in data
transmission, please set greater value for them to get highest
transmission opportunity. Specify the value ranging from 0 to
65535.
ACM
It is an abbreviation of Admission control Mandatory. It can
restrict stations from using specific category class if it is
checked.
Note: Vigor AP provides standard WMM configuration in the
web page. If you want to modify the parameters, please refer to
the Wi-Fi WMM standard specification.

Airtime fairness is essential in wireless networks that must support critical enterprise
applications.
Most of the applications are either symmetric or require more downlink than uplink capacity;
telephony and email send the same amount of data in each direction, while video streaming
and web surfing involve more traffic sent from access points to clients than the other way
around. This is essential for ensuring predictable performance and quality-of-service, as well
as allowing 802.11n and legacy clients to coexist on the same network. Without airtime
fairness, offices using mixed mode networks risk having legacy clients slow down the entire
network or letting the fastest client(s) crowd out other users.
With airtime fairness, every client at a given quality-of-service level has equal access to the
network's airtime.
The wireless channel can be accessed by only one wireless station at the same time.
The principle behind the IEEE802.11 channel access mechanisms is that each station has
equal probability to access the channel. When wireless stations have similar data rate, this
principle leads to a fair result. In this case, stations get similar channel access time which is
called airtime.
However, when stations have various data rate (e.g., 11g, 11n), the result is not fair. The
slow stations (11g) work in their slow data rate and occupy too much airtime, whereas the
fast stations (11n) become much slower.
Take the following figure as an example, both Station A(11g) and Station B(11n) transmit
data packets through VigorAP 910C. Although they have equal probability to access the
wireless channel, Station B(11n) gets only a little airtime and waits too much because Station
A(11g) spends longer time to send one packet. In other words, Station B(fast rate) is
obstructed by Station A(slow rate).
To improve this problem, Airtime Fairness is added for VigorAP 910C. Airtime Fairness
function tries to assign similar airtime to each station (A/B) by controlling TX traffic. In the
following figure, Station B(11n) has higher probability to send data packets than Station
A(11g). By this way, Station B(fast rate) gets fair airtime and it's speed is not limited by
Station A(slow rate).
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide

It is similar to automatic Bandwidth Limit. The dynamic bandwidth limit of each station
depends on instant active station number and airtime assignment. Please note that Airtime
Fairness of 2.4GHz and 5GHz are independent. But stations of different SSIDs function
together, because they all use the same wireless channel. IN SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTS,
this function can reduce the bad influence of slow wireless devices and improve the overall
wireless performance.
Suitable environment:
(1) Many wireless stations.
(2) All stations mainly use download traffic.
(3) The performance bottleneck is wireless connection.
Available settings are explained as follows:

Station Control is used to specify the duration for the wireless client to connect and
reconnect VigorAP. If such function is not enabled, the wireless client can connect VigorAP
until it shuts down.
Such feature is especially useful for free Wi-Fi service. For example, a coffee shop offers
free Wi-Fi service for its guests for one hour every day. Then, the connection time can be set
as “1 hour” and reconnection time can be set as “1 day”. Thus, the guest can finish his job
within one hour and will not occupy the wireless network for a long time.
Note: Up to 300 Wireless Station records are supported by VigorAP.

The network signal for a single wireless access point might be limited by its coverage range.
Therefore, if you want to expand the wireless network in a large exhibition with a quick
method, you can install multiple access points with enabling the Roaming feature for each
AP to reach the purpose of expanding wireless signals seamlessly.
These access points connecting for each other shall be verified by pre-authentication. This
page allows you to enable the roaming feature and the pre-authentication.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
AP-assisted Client
Roaming Parameters
When the link rate of wireless station is too low or the signal
received by the wireless station is too worse, VigorAP 910C will
automatically detect (based on the link rate and RSSI
requirement) and cut off the network connection for that wireless
station to assist it to connect another Wireless AP to get better
signal.
Minimum Basic Rate – Check the box to use the drop down list
to specify a basic rate (Mbps). When the link rate of the wireless
station is below such value, VigorAP 910C will terminate the
network connection for that wireless station.
Disable RSSI Requirement - If it is selected, VigorAP will not
terminate the network connection based on RSSI.
Strictly Minimum RSSI - VigorAP uses RSSI (received signal
strength indicator) to decide to terminate the network connection
of wireless station. When the signal strength is below the value
(dBm) set here, VigorAP 910C will terminate the network
connection for that wireless station.
Minimum RSSI - When the signal strength of the wireless
station is below the value (dBm) set here and adjacent AP (must
be DrayTek AP and support such feature too) with higher signal
strength value (defined in the field of With Adjacent AP RSSI
over) is detected by VigorAP 910C, VigorAP 910C will
terminate the network connection for that wireless station. Later,
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide

the wireless station can connect to the adjacent AP (with better
RSSI).
With Adjacent AP RSSI over – Specify a value as a
threshold.
Fast Roaming
(WPA/802.1x)
Enable – Check the box to enable fast roaming configuration.
PMK Cache Period - Set the expire time of WPA2 PMK
(Pairwise master key) cache. PMK Cache manages the list from
the BSSIDs in the associated SSID with which it has
pre-authenticated. Such feature is available for WPA2/802.1
mode.
Pre-Authentication - Enables a station to authenticate to
multiple APs for roaming securer and faster. With the
pre-authentication procedure defined in IEEE 802.11i
specification, the pre-four-way-handshake can reduce handoff
delay perceivable by a mobile node. It makes roaming faster and
more secure. (Only valid in WPA2)
Enable - Enable IEEE 802.1X Pre-Authentication.
Disable - Disable IEEE 802.1X Pre-Authentication.

This page allows users to set advanced settings such as operation mode, channel bandwidth,
guard interval, and aggregation MSDU for wireless data transmission.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
Channel Width
20 MHz- the AP will use 20MHz for data transmission and
receiving between the AP and the stations.
Auto 20/40 MHz–VigorAP will scan for nearby wireless AP
to determine which channel width (20MHz or 40MHz) shall be
used to meet the air situation. Usually, 40MHz would have
better performance under the clean wireless environment (e.g.,
less wireless traffic / contention). When the air condition is not
satisfied (e.g., dirty air), 20MHz will be used by VigorAP
automatically to ensure smooth network transmission.
Auto 20/40/80 MHz –VigorAP will scan for nearby wireless
AP to determine which channel width (20MHz or 40MHz or
80MHz) shall be used to meet the air situation. Usually, large
bandwidth would have better performance under the clean
wireless environment (e.g., less wireless traffic / contention).
When the air condition is not satisfied (e.g., dirty air), small
bandwidth will be used by VigorAP automatically to ensure
smooth network transmission.
Tx Power
The default setting is the maximum (100%). Lower down the
value may degrade range and throughput of wireless.
Fragment Length
(256 – 2346)
Set the Fragment threshold. Do not modify
default value if you
don’t know what it is, default value is
2346.
RTS Threshold
(1 – 2347)
Minimize the collision (unit is bytes) between hidden stations
to improve wireless performance.
Set the RTS threshold. Do not modify default
value if you don’t
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
201
know what it is, default value is 2347.
Country Code
VigorAP broadcasts country codes by following the 802.11d
standard. However, some wireless stations will detect / scan
the country code to prevent conflict occurred. If conflict is
detected, wireless station will be warned and is unable to make
network connection. Therefore, changing the country code to
ensure successful network connection will be necessary for
some clients.
Auto Channel
Reselect
Enable – Usually, wireless channel determined by AutoSelect
(Wireless LAN>>General Setup) means Vigor router will
search for a channel with low interference automatically once
the system reboots. However, when the channel utilization is
more than 70% (refer to Diagnostics >> Interference
Monitor), Vigor router will search for and switch another
channel with low interference to obtain better wireless signal
again.
Auto Channel
Filtered Out List
The selected wireless channels will be discarded if AutoSelect
is selected as Channel selection mode in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup.
Isolate 2.4GHz and
5GHz bands
The default setting is “Enable”. It means that the wireless
client using 2.4GHz band is unable to connect to the wireless
client with 5GHz band, and vice versa.
For WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz set with the same SSID name:
No matter such function is enabled or disabled, clients
using WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz can communicate for
each other if Isolate Member (in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup) is NOT enabled for such SSID.
Yet, if the function of Isolate Member (in Wireless
LAN>>General Setup) is enabled for such SSID, clients
using WLAN 2.4GHz and 5GHz will be unable to
communicate with each other.
Isolate members with
IP
The default setting is “Disable”.
If it is enabled, VigorAP will isolate different wireless clients
according to their IP address(es).

WMM is an abbreviation of Wi-Fi Multimedia. It defines the priority levels for four access
categories derived from 802.1d (prioritization tabs). The categories are designed with
specific types of traffic, voice, video, best effort and low priority data. There are four
accessing categories - AC_BE , AC_BK, AC_VI and AC_VO for WMM.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
WMM Capable
To apply WMM parameters for wireless data transmission,
please click the Enable radio button.
APSD Capable
APSD (automatic power-save delivery) is an enhancement over
the power-save mechanisms supported by Wi-Fi networks. It
allows devices to take more time in sleeping state and consume
less power to improve the performance by minimizing
transmission latency.
The default setting is Disable.
Aifsn
It controls how long the client waits for each data transmission.
Please specify the value ranging from 1 to 15. Such parameter
will influence the time delay for WMM accessing categories.
For the service of voice or video image, please set small value
for AC_VI and AC_VO categories For the service of e-mail or
web browsing, please set large value for AC_BE and AC_BK
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
207
categories.
CWMin/CWMax
CWMin means contention Window-Min and CWMax means
contention Window-Max. Please specify the value ranging from
1 to 15. Be aware that CWMax value must be greater than
CWMin or equals to CWMin value. Both values will influence
the time delay for WMM accessing categories. The difference
between AC_VI and AC_VO categories must be smaller;
however, the difference between AC_BE and AC_BK categories
must be greater.
Txop
It means transmission opportunity. For WMM categories of
AC_VI and AC_VO that need higher priorities in data
transmission, please set greater value for them to get highest
transmission opportunity. Specify the value ranging from 0 to
65535.
ACM
It is an abbreviation of Admission control Mandatory. It can
restrict stations from using specific category class if it is
checked.
Note: VigorAP 910C provides standard WMM configuration in
the web page. If you want to modify the parameters, please refer
to the Wi-Fi WMM standard specification.
AckPolicy
“Uncheck” (default value) the box means the AP will answer the
response request while transmitting WMM packets through
wireless connection. It can assure that the peer must receive the
WMM packets.
“Check” the box means the AP will not answer any response
request for the transmitting packets. It will have better
performance with lower reliability.

Airtime fairness is essential in wireless networks that must support critical enterprise
applications.
Most of the applications are either symmetric or require more downlink than uplink capacity;
telephony and email send the same amount of data in each direction, while video streaming
and web surfing involve more traffic sent from access points to clients than the other way
around. This is essential for ensuring predictable performance and quality-of-service, as well
as allowing 802.11n and legacy clients to coexist on the same network. Without airtime
fairness, offices using mixed mode networks risk having legacy clients slow down the entire
network or letting the fastest client(s) crowd out other users.
With airtime fairness, every client at a given quality-of-service level has equal access to the
network's airtime.
The wireless channel can be accessed by only one wireless station at the same time.
The principle behind the IEEE802.11 channel access mechanisms is that each station has
equal probability to access the channel. When wireless stations have similar data rate, this
principle leads to a fair result. In this case, stations get similar channel access time which is
called airtime.
However, when stations have various data rate (e.g., 11g, 11n), the result is not fair. The
slow stations (11g) work in their slow data rate and occupy too much airtime, whereas the
fast stations (11n) become much slower.
Take the following figure as an example, both Station A(11g) and Station B(11n) transmit
data packets through VigorAP 910C. Although they have equal probability to access the
wireless channel, Station B(11n) gets only a little airtime and waits too much because Station
A(11g) spends longer time to send one packet. In other words, Station B(fast rate) is
obstructed by Station A(slow rate).
To improve this problem, Airtime Fairness is added for VigorAP 910C. Airtime Fairness
function tries to assign similar airtime to each station (A/B) by controlling TX traffic. In the
following figure, Station B(11n) has higher probability to send data packets than Station
A(11g). By this way, Station B(fast rate) gets fair airtime and it's speed is not limited by
Station A(slow rate).
VigorAP 910C User’s Guide
210
It is similar to automatic Bandwidth Limit. The dynamic bandwidth limit of each station
depends on instant active station number and airtime assignment. Please note that Airtime
Fairness of 2.4GHz and 5GHz are independent. But stations of different SSIDs function
together, because they all use the same wireless channel. IN SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTS,
this function can reduce the bad influence of slow wireless devices and improve the overall
wireless performance.
Suitable environment:
(1) Many wireless stations.
(2) All stations mainly use download traffic.
(3) The performance bottleneck is wireless connection.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
Enable Airtime
Fairness
Try to assign similar airtime to each wireless station by
controlling TX traffic.
Airtime Fairness – Click the link to display the following
screen of airtime fairness note.
Triggering Client Number –Airtime Fairness function is

Note: Airtime Fairness function and Bandwidth Limit function should be mutually
exclusive. So their webs have extra actions to ensure these two functions are not enabled
simultaneously.

Station Control is used to specify the duration for the wireless client to connect and
reconnect VigorAP. If such function is not enabled, the wireless client can connect VigorAP
until it shuts down.
Such feature is especially useful for free Wi-Fi service. For example, a coffee shop offers
free Wi-Fi service for its guests for one hour every day. Then, the connection time can be set
as “1 hour” and reconnection time can be set as “1 day”. Thus, the guest can finish his job
within one hour and will not occupy the wireless network for a long time.
Note: Up to 300 Wireless Station records are supported by VigorAP.

The network signal for a single wireless access point might be limited by its coverage range.
Therefore, if you want to expand the wireless network in a large exhibition with a quick
method, you can install multiple access points with enabling the Roaming feature for each
AP to reach the purpose of expanding wireless signals seamlessly.
These access points connecting for each other shall be verified by pre-authentication. This
page allows you to enable the roaming feature and the pre-authentication.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description

Roaming Parameters
When the link rate of wireless station is too low or the signal
received by the wireless station is too worse, VigorAP 910C will
automatically detect (based on the link rate and RSSI
requirement) and cut off the network connection for that wireless
station to assist it to connect another Wireless AP to get better
signal.
Minimum Basic Rate – Check the box to use the drop down list
to specify a basic rate (Mbps). When the link rate of the wireless
station is below such value, VigorAP 910C will terminate the
network connection for that wireless station.
Disable RSSI Requirement - If it is selected, VigorAP will not
terminate the network connection based on RSSI.
Strictly Minimum RSSI - VigorAP uses RSSI (received signal
strength indicator) to decide to terminate the network connection
of wireless station. When the signal strength is below the value
(dBm) set here, VigorAP 910C will terminate the network
connection for that wireless station.
Minimum RSSI - When the signal strength of the wireless
station is below the value (dBm) set here and adjacent AP (must
be DrayTek AP and support such feature too) with higher signal
strength value (defined in the field of With Adjacent AP RSSI
over) is detected by VigorAP 910C, VigorAP 910C will
terminate the network connection for that wireless station. Later,

When the local client and remote server are required to make certificate authentication (e.g.,
Radius EAP-TLS authentication) for wireless connection and avoiding the attack of MITM,
a trusted root certificate authority (Root CA) will be used to authenticate the digital
certificates offered by both ends.
However, the procedure of applying digital certificate from a trusted root certificate authority
is complicated and time-consuming. Therefore, Vigor AP offers a mechanism which allows
you to generate root CA to save time and provide convenience for general user. Later, such
root CA generated by DrayTek server can perform the issuing of local certificate.
Root CA can be deleted but not edited. If you want to modify the settings for a Root CA,
please delete the one and create another one by clicking Create Root CA.

The Vigor AP has a built-in clock which can update itself manually or automatically by
means of Network Time Protocols (NTP). As a result, you can not only schedule the AP to
dialup to the Internet at a specified time, but also restrict Internet access to certain hours so
that users can connect to the Internet only during certain hours, say, business hours. The
schedule is also applicable to other functions.
You have to set your time before set schedule. In System Maintenance>> Time and Date
menu, press Inquire Time button to set the Vigor AP’s clock to current time of your PC.
The clock will reset once if you power down or reset the AP. There is another way to set up

The default gateway IP address of the modem is 192.168.1.2. For some reason, you might
need to use “ping” command to check the link status of the modem. The most important
thing is that the computer will receive a reply from 192.168.1.2. If not, please check the
IP address of your computer. We suggest you setting the network connection as get IP
automatically. (Please refer to the section 4.2)
Please follow the steps below to ping the modem correctly.
