New Features in the DrayOS 5-Powered VigorAP 805

Notification Service

DrayOS 5 introduces push notification support for the VigorAP 805 and other DrayOS 5-based access points. When paired with the DrayTek Wireless app (v1.3.3 or later), network administrators can receive real-time alerts for critical events, such as client disconnections, mesh node offline status, and login attempts. This feature allows IT admins to stay informed and respond quickly to network changes directly from their mobile devices.

MAC Filtering for Enhanced Access Control

DrayOS 5 introduces MAC Filtering for Access Control, providing administrators with greater control over which devices are allowed to connect to the network. By defining a list of approved MAC addresses, you can effectively restrict unauthorised access and enhance overall network security.

To enable and configure MAC Filtering:

  1. Navigate to Security > MAC Filtering Profile to create a new profile.
  2. Add the device names and their corresponding MAC addresses.
  3. Apply the MAC Filtering profile to your SSID under Configuration > Wireless LAN to enforce access control.

These feature devices can join the network. offers a simple yet effective way to secure your wireless environment by ensuring that only authorised

Streamlined Wireless LAN Configuration

DrayOS 5 introduces a simplified and more intuitive approach to wireless network setup. In contrast to DrayOS 4—where administrators had to navigate multiple pages to configure SSID, radio settings, roaming, and other options—DrayOS 5 consolidates all wireless settings into a single, centralised interface.

Now, from Configuration > Wireless LAN, administrators can manage all wireless parameters in one place, significantly improving efficiency and ensuring a smoother, more user-friendly configuration experience.

Comprehensive Client Monitoring

DrayOS 5 enhances client monitoring by consolidating all wireless client data into a single, easy-to-access interface. Previously, client information was separated between 2.4GHz and 5GHz views. Now, under Monitoring > Client List, administrators can view a complete overview of all connected devices—regardless of band—in one unified location.

This streamlined design simplifies network management, providing clearer insights into client connections, activity, and usage in real time.

2.5GbE/1GbE LAN Application

The VigorAP 805 features both 2.5Gbps and 1Gbps LAN ports, providing flexible, high-speed network connectivity to suit a wide range of deployment scenarios.

Smart Home Applications

High-Speed Internet Access

Leverage the 2.5GbE LAN port to connect to ultra-fast broadband for smooth and reliable internet access.

Use the 1GbE LAN port to link to a network switch, expanding your local network to support a variety of smart home and connected devices, such as:

  • Desktop PCs or laptops for work and entertainment
  • Network-Attached Storage (NAS) for seamless file sharing and backups
  • Smart TVs for streaming and home entertainment
  • Voice assistants like Amazon Echo or Google Home for smart home control

Smart Business Applications

Business Network Expansion

Connect the 1GbE LAN port to a network switch to extend your local area network (LAN) and support a wide range of smart business devices, such as:

  • Point of Sale (PoS) systems for seamless transaction processing
  • IP phones for efficient business communication
  • Network-Attached Storage (NAS) for centralised data management
  • Network Video Recorders (NVRs) for robust surveillance and security

Secure Guest Networking

Take advantage of advanced WLAN security features by assigning a dedicated LAN port to a specific SSID. This setup enables an isolated guest network, ensuring visitors or external users are securely separated from your internal systems and administrative resources.

AX3000 (WiFi 6) Capacity

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)

With OFDMA modulation scheme, each channel is made up of 256 subcarriers spaced 78.125 kHz apart, compared to 64 subcarriers spaced 312.5 kHz apart with OFDM. With up to 4 times data efficiency and more advanced channel sharing technologies, a device can be allotted bandwidth based on the assessed needs for the highest airtime efficiency possible. For example, users on streaming or VoIP services can be allocated more bandwidth and time, while services such as email or website browsing can be assigned less bandwidth that is still sufficient for the tasks, thus improving user experience in high-density environments.

OFDM

OFDMA

MU-MIMO functions by transmitting data to multiple users simultaneously, much like several delivery trucks operating in parallel. This improves overall network capacity and boosts individual user speeds.

BSS Colouring is a technique that improves the coexistence of overlapping Basic Service Sets (BSS) and enables more efficient spatial reuse on the same channel. In simple terms, it helps reduce co-channel interference, a common issue in legacy Wi-Fi networks, by allowing devices to distinguish more effectively between their own network and neighbouring networks operating on the same frequency.

TWT (Target wake time)
Devices negotiate with the AP for a Target Wake Time (TWT), or joint a TWT broadcast session, and transmit data only when the TWT arrives, thereby reducing power consumption and increase network efficiency.

[DISPLAY OFF] —– WPA3

WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3) enhances the security of Wi-Fi networks by addressing vulnerabilities in previous standards (WEP, WPA and WPS2) and introduces new features including stronger authentication, better encryption, and improved protection against attacks such as brute-force password guessing and man-in-the-middle exploits.

DrayTek’s WiFi 6 encryption:

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

And you may check below comparison table to see WPA3’s strength is obviously an surplus development in WLAN security design.

AP-Assisted Roaming – built-in in selected Wi-Fi Vigor Routers and all Vigor Access Points

Extend Transmission Range

When a Wi-Fi client moves out of its effective transmission range which is defined by the Basic Rate and/or Received Signal Strength threshold, the AP forces the Wi-Fi client to pick up a nearby access point with stronger signals thereby extending the range.

Improve Data Rates

When the “Minimum RSSI with Adjacent AP” option is set, APs or routers on the same local subnet will exchange client information with each other and switch to the AP or router that has the strongest signal, ensuring that data rates can be as good as possible.

Better User Experience

Instead of ineffective transmission with low basic rates or RSSI, the better links provide better user experience while saving the airtime.

No Controller Required

Assisted Roaming is a built-in feature in all Vigor Access Points and a number of Wi-Fi routers; it saves the need for an ad-hoc wireless controller and is an ideal solution for simple network deployments.

Wireless Virtual Controller

Flexible Auto-Configuration

This feature detects the type of AP, wired or wireless, and determines the most appropriate network topology automatically. For smaller wireless networks with fewer than 8 APs, the controller enables Mesh mode seamlessly; while in larger networks with more than 8 wired and wireless APs, the AP management mode will be activated for enhanced controllability and scalability.

Wireless Device Monitoring

The monitoring page provides a comprehensive view of network devices, showing the status of each AP in the mesh and wired network, such as WLAN clients, MAC, IP address, Status, SSIDs, number of clients, on or offline, firmware version, etc. This enables network administrators to manage and optimize the network with ease.

Zero Touch Deployment

With the auto-configuration feature, APs can be added to the nodes in the management groups with ease, and the Root AP will auto-detect the APs that are newly deployed.
