WiFi 6 Capacity

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) is a key feature of the Wi-Fi 6 certification program. Part of the Wi-Fi 6 standard, OFDMA relies on efficient scheduling to perform well in congested, complex network environments. As Wi-Fi 6 adoption grows among manufacturers and across the industry, it becomes increasingly important to analyze and document the benefits of a well-implemented OFDMA and to be able to measure its impact.

MU-MIMO works like several trucks serving users at the same time. It increases capacity and delivers higher speed per user.

BSS Coloring is a technique that improves coexistence between overlapping BSSs and allows spatial reuse within a single channel. Simply put, BSS Coloring helps reduce the co-channel interference found in legacy Wi-Fi networks.

TWT (Target Wake Time) lets end devices spend more time in standby and send and receive data more economically. This reduces energy consumption and improves overall efficiency on the home network. TWT allows an AP to manage activity on the Wi-Fi network to minimize medium contention between stations (STAs) and to reduce how long an STA in power-save mode needs to stay awake.

WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3) strengthens Wi-Fi network security by addressing vulnerabilities in earlier standards such as WPA2 and adding new features that better protect modern wireless communications. Introduced in 2018, WPA3 provides stronger authentication, better encryption, and improved defenses against attacks such as brute-force password guessing and man-in-the-middle exploits.

DrayTek’s Wi-Fi 6 encryption:

• WEP (64 / 128-bit)
• WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 / OWE

The comparison table below shows how clearly WPA3 advances WLAN security design.

Mobile Device Management

Station List and Allow/Block List

The VigorAP records associated devices along with their signal strength, airtime, link rate, data usage, and more. Network administrators can track client connectivity and activity history on this single panel. If they spot suspicious activity, they can create allow/block policies right away by MAC address or device type.

Nearby Station Analytics

The VigorAP tracks the MAC addresses of both associated and non-associated devices, along with their signal strength. Retail and hospitality customers can use this information to understand visitor behavior and optimize their business by adjusting opening hours and marketing campaigns accordingly.

Seamless Wi-Fi Roaming

Fast & Smooth Handover

• Switch between access points seamlessly with intelligent roaming support.
• Supports Over-the-DS (via wired backbone) and Over-the-Air handoffs for reliable connectivity during video calls, voice chats, and real-time applications.

Smarter Assisted Roaming

• Signal thresholds and AP steering help devices move to stronger APs and balance network loads.
• Enjoy stable performance across all devices, everywhere.

Always Optimized for Business

• From offices to campuses, seamless roaming ensures uninterrupted mobility.
• Reliable coverage built for the demands of modern workplaces.

Two Modes in One

AP Mode

• The mode mostly used
• VigorAP acts as a bridge between wireless devices and wired Ethernet network, and exchanges data between them.

Pros

• Less performance decay

Cons

• Limited wireless coverage
• Require physical wire to connect to the Ethernet

Mesh

• Wirelessly connect 1~8 APs, and form a Mesh Group
• A mesh network creates a set of links automatically and calculate the most optimal wireless path through the wireless network back to a wired Mesh Root.

Pros

• Easy installation
• Self-healing uplinks
• Extend wireless coverage

Cons

• No compatibility among different brands
• Performance decay
