* The VigorAP 1070C Wi-Fi Mesh can be set up with another VigorAP 1070C**, VigorAP 905, VigorAP 805, VigorAP 1062C, VigorAP 962C, Vigor2136ax, Vigor2767ax, VigorC510ax, Vigor2867be**, and Vigor2928be**.

** Wired Adoption Only: VigorAP 1070C, Vigor2867be, and Vigor2928be do not support WDS. Initial AP Adoption must be performed over a wired connection. Once adopted and added to the Mesh group, they can participate in the wireless Mesh network.

The VigorAP 1070C is a high-performance BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Access Point that delivers speeds up to 1376 Mbps on 2.4GHz, 5765 Mbps on 5GHz, and 11530 Mbps on 6GHz. Featuring 2.5 GbE and 10 GbE ports alongside MU-MIMO technology, it supports up to 512 concurrent clients. This makes it the ideal choice for high-density environments, such as classrooms and conference centres, where robust connectivity is essential.

The Plug-n-Play Mesh technology in the VigorAP 1070C supports up to eight Access Points to be wirelessly interconnected as a Mesh group to provide extended wireless coverage. This can be quickly and easily set up using the built-in Quick Start Wizard or with the free Smartphone app available from DrayTek.

The Wi-Fi Mesh technology in the VigorAP 1070C will improve network reliability. Redundancy features ensure an alternative path is available in the event of an uplink connection failure, ensuring continuity of Wi-Fi services.

The VigorAP 1070C also offers AP mode, where it can function as a stand-alone wireless access point and a repeater mode where it can function as a wireless repeater and an access point at the same time.

The VigorAP 1070C can function as the Root AP to scan and auto-provision other node APs within the same LAN subnet. (Initial AP Adoption must be performed over a wired connection.) It can manage up to 50 Vigor access points.

The VigorAP 1070C delivers combined wireless link rates of up to 19 Gbps across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands. Equipped with Wi-Fi 7 technologies including Multi-Link Operation(MLO), 4K-QAM, Multi-RU (MRU) and 320 MHz channel support, it enables higher capacity, lower latency, and more efficient multi-device connectivity. Together with 10GbE uplink capability, it is ideal for modern business environments requiring high-performance wireless networking.

Wi-Fi 7 with advanced 4K-QAM technology pushes modulation from 1024-QAM in Wi-Fi 6 to 4096-QAM, increasing data density from 10 bits per symbol to 12 bits per symbol. This upgrade delivers up to 20% higher throughput, ensuring smoother real-time video calls and crystal-clear 4K/8K streaming experiences.

Multi-Link Operation (MLO) allows devices to leverage the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands simultaneously, unlike traditional WiFi, which can only transmit data on a single band at a time. This enables faster speeds, lower latency, and more reliable connections.

MLO improves speed, reliability, and reduces latency, which significantly benefits business applications such as video conferencing, large file transfers, and business-critical platforms, as it reduces congestion and ensures a more stable connection.

Multiple Resource Units (MRU) enhance the OFDMA technology first introduced in Wi-Fi 6. In Wi-Fi 6, each client is limited to a single Resource Unit, which may leave portions of the channel bandwidth underutilised. With WiFi 7 MRU, clients can be assigned multiple RUs concurrently, eliminating this restriction and enabling more efficient spectrum utilization. This ensures that more of the available spectrum is actively used, resulting in higher overall throughput and lower latency.

Zero-Wait DFS allows Wi-Fi access points to monitor radar signals on DFS channels without interrupting service. The VigorAP 1070C features a dedicated 5G antenna for Zero-Wait DFS, enabling it to detect radar signals independently while maintaining active communication. When radar interference is detected, the AP can instantly switch to a standby block that has already passed the CAC.

In the example below, the VigorAP 1070C is operating on an 80 MHz block (Channels 52, 56, 60, 64). Once radar is detected on Channel 64, DFS rules require the entire block to be vacated. With Zero-Wait DFS, a standby block (Channels 100, 104, 108, 112) is ready, so the AP can instantly switch, ensuring smooth service.

DrayTek’s business solution combines Multi-WAN Routers, Multi-Giga Switches, and VigorAPs to build a reliable backbone. Virtual Controller provides centralised management for VigorAP and VigorSwitch on the LAN side.
