DrayTek VigorAP 1000C Tri-Band 802.11ac Ceiling-Mount
Mesh Wireless Access Point (VAP1000C-K)
Product Name: DrayTek VigorAP 1000C Tri-Band 802.11ac Ceiling-Mount Mesh Wireless Access Point
(VAP1000C-K)
Manufacturer: Draytek
Model Number: VAP1000C-K
DrayTek VigorAP 1000C Tri-Band 802.11ac Ceiling-Mount Mesh Wireless Access Point
(VAP1000C-K)
The DrayTek VigorAP 1000C is a high-performance Mesh Wireless solution, designed to expand
the wireless coverage, eliminate WiFi dead zones and significantly reduce the cost of network
deployments. It can also be used as a traditional access point either managed or stand alone so
has the flexibility to be used how you need it.
DrayTek VigorAP 1000C Key Features
� Ceiling-mount high capacity Mesh Wireless Access Point
� Secondary 5GHz radio – Dedicated Mesh backhaul, or higher client density
� AC2200 - 11ac ‘Wave 2’ Tri Band Wireless
� Multi-SSID over Mesh – Separate internal and Guest network sover Mesh
� Power through 802.3at PoE+ or DC power adapter
� 2nd Gigabit Ethernet port
� Centrally Managed or Standalone operation
The VigorAP 1000C is a Tri-Band 802.11ac Wave 2 Mesh Wireless solution, designed to eliminate
wireless drop outs, stuttering videos, slow download speeds, poor signal and WiFi dead zones.
One access point acts as the controller (Mesh root) and in total up to 8 access points create an
easy to manage wireless mesh. Extend coverage without running expensive cabling. Dedicate a
5Ghz radio as a Mesh Backhaul for increased Mesh performance and client capacity.
Mesh Wireless
DrayTek’s Mesh system connects and intelligently manages a group of VigorAPs over
wireless. The Self-Optimising Mesh ensures your wireless network nodes are always using the
fastest path to the Mesh Root.
Tri-Band Access Point
The VigorAP 1000C provides one 2.4GHz and two 5GHz radios. Designate one 5GHz radio as a
dedicated Mesh backhaul for improved Mesh network performance. Alternatively, use all 3 radios
for wireless access to connect up to 384 clients per AP.
Gigabit Power Over Ethernet
The VigorAP 1000C can be powered through its Gigabit Ethernet interface with standard IEEE
802.3at PoE+ for a tidier and more convenient installation. Connect extra devices to the
AP’s 2nd LAN port.
Easy to Configure and Manage
The DrayTek Wireless app simplifies setting up your network. Optionally configure and monitor
through one of DrayTek’s management platforms - VigorACS cloud, VigorConnect, Router
AP Management, or directly via the AP’s Web Interface.
Ceiling Mounting
The VigorAP 1000C blends well with most home or office interior. Its adaptable deployment
options include ceilings and wall mounting. The VigorAP clips into its ceiling plate for secure
mounting and easier maintenance.
