DrayOS 5 adds push notification support for the VigorAP 905 and other DrayOS 5 Access Points. Using the DrayTek Wireless App (version 1.3.3 or later), network administrators can receive real-time alerts for key events such as client disconnections, mesh node offline status, and login attempts. This ensures admins stay informed and can respond quickly to wireless network issues directly from their mobile devices.

To enhance network security, DrayOS 5 introduces MAC Filtering for Access Control. This feature lets administrators specify which devices can connect to the network by assigning their MAC addresses to a profile.

Configuration steps:

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

DrayOS 5 simplifies the setup of wireless network parameters by consolidating all options into a single, unified page. Unlike DrayOS 4, where SSID, Radio Settings, Roaming, and other configurations were spread across multiple pages, administrators can now manage everything directly under Configuration >> Wireless LAN. This streamlined approach makes setup and ongoing management faster and more efficient.

DrayOS 5 makes monitoring wireless clients more efficient by consolidating all client information into a single view. Previously, details were separated between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz settings. Now, administrators can access a complete overview of client connections and usage from one page under Monitoring >> Clients List, simplifying client management and tracking in a unified location.

In clinical settings, the VigorAP 905 connects essential devices such as the Vigor2136 router, NAS, IP phone, IP camera, and an automated registration machine. Its LAN ports ensure secure data storage, uninterrupted voice communication, and continuous surveillance.

For coffee shops, the VigorAP 905 supports connections to the Vigor2136 router, PoS terminals, IP phone, IP camera, and self-ordering kiosks. It ensures stable and reliable wired connections to maintain smooth business operations and enhance customer service.

In home networks, the VigorAP 905 connects devices such as the Vigor2136 router, NAS, IP camera, gaming console, and Smart TV. The 2.5GbE LAN port is ideal for high-bandwidth applications like online gaming and 4K/8K streaming, while the additional LAN ports ensure reliable connectivity for smart home devices and everyday use.

In a meeting room environment, the VigorAP 905 connects key devices such as the Vigor2136 router, computer, IP phone, IP camera, and Smart TV. Its reliable wired connections ensure smooth presentations, high-quality video conferencing, and uninterrupted communication for a professional meeting experience.

Enjoy uninterrupted connectivity with intelligent roaming that allows seamless switching between access points. The VigorAP 905 supports both Over-the-DS (wired backbone) and Over-the-Air handoffs, ensuring stable, reliable performance for video calls, voice chats, and other real-time applications.

With signal thresholds and AP steering, devices are guided to the strongest available access point, helping balance network loads. This ensures consistent connectivity and stable performance for all devices across every corner of the network.

The VigorAP 905 automatically detects whether it is connected via wired or wireless uplink and selects the optimal network topology. For smaller wireless setups with fewer than eight APs, it seamlessly enables Mesh mode (one root AP with up to seven node APs). In larger wired deployments with more than 20 APs, it switches to AP Management mode for greater control and scalability.
