Port speed capabilities:
Auto negotiation: Auto speed with all capabilities.
Selecting Auto (auto-negotiation) allows one port to negotiate with a peer port automatically to obtain the connection speed and duplex mode that both ends support. When auto-negotiation is turned on, a port on the switch negotiates with the peer automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the switch determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the switch’s auto- negotiation is turned off, a port
uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer port are the same in order to connect.

II-2-3 Wireless LAN

VigorAP 1062C is a highly integrated wireless local area network (WLAN) for 2.4/5 GHz 802.11b/g/n/ax WLAN applications. It supports channel operations of 20/40 MHz at 2.4 GHz and 20/40/80/160 MHz at 5 GHz. VigorAP 1062C can support data rates up to 2.4 Gbps/4.8Gbps in 802.11ax 80/160 MHz bandwidth.

Note:

  • The actual data throughput will vary according to the network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, network overhead and building materials.

VigorAP 1062C plays a role as an Access Point (AP) connecting to lots of wireless clients or Stations (STA). All the STAs will share the same Internet connection via VigorAP 1062C.

Security Overview
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a legacy method to encrypt each frame transmitted via radio using either a 64-bit or 128-bit key. Usually access point will preset a set of four keys and it will communicate with each station using only one out of the four keys.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the most dominating security mechanism in industry, is separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre- Share Key (WPA/PSK), and WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x.
In WPA-Personal, a pre-defined key is used for encryption during data transmission. WPA applies Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption while WPA2 applies AES. The WPA-Enterprise combines not only encryption but also authentication.
Since WEP has been proved vulnerable, you may consider using WPA for the most secure connection.
You should select the appropriate security mechanism according to your needs. No matter which security suite you select, they all will enhance the over-the- air data protection and /or privacy on your wireless network. The VigorAP 1062C is very flexible and can support multiple secure connections with both WEP and WPA at the same time.

WPS Introduction
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) provides easy procedure to make network connection between wireless station and wireless access point (VigorAP 1062C) with the encryption of WPA and WPA2.

DrayTek 1062C Ceiling Mount Access Point - WPS
Introduction

It is the simplest way to build connection between wireless network clients and VigorAP 1062C. Users do not need to select any encryption mode and type any long encryption passphrase to setup a wireless client every time. He/she only needs to press a button on wireless client, and WPS will connect for client and VigorAP 1062C automatically.

Note:
This function is available for the wireless station with WPS supported.

There are two methods to do network connection through WPS between AP and Stations: pressing the Start PBC button or using PIN Code.
On the side of VigorAP 1062C series which served as an AP, click Start PBC on web configuration interface. On the side of a station with network card installed, press Start PBC button of network card.
If you want to use PIN code, you have to know the PIN code specified in wireless client. Then provide the PIN code of the wireless client you wish to connect to the VigorAP 1062C.

Band Steering
Band Steering detects if the wireless clients are capable of 5GHz operation, and steers them to that frequency. It helps to leave 2.4GHz band available for legacy clients and improves users’ experience by reducing channel utilization.

DrayTek 1062C Ceiling Mount Access Point - WPS Introduction

If dual-band is detected, the AP will let the wireless client connect to less congested wireless LAN, such as 5GHz to prevent network congestion.

DrayTek 1062C Ceiling Mount Access Point - WPS Introduction

Note:
To make Band Steering work successfully, SSID and security on 2.4GHz also MUST be broadcasted on 5GHz.

Airtime Fairness
Airtime fairness is essential in wireless networks that must support critical enterprise applications.
Most of the applications are either symmetric or require more downlink than uplink capacity; telephony and email send the same amount of data in each direction, while video streaming and web surfing involve more traffic sent from access points to clients than the other way around. This is essential for ensuring predictable performance and quality-of-service, as well as allowing 802.11n and legacy clients to coexist on the same network. Without airtime fairness, offices using mixed-mode networks risk having legacy clients slow down the entire network or letting the fastest client(s) crowd out other users.
With airtime fairness, every client at a given quality-of-service level has equal access to the network’s airtime.
The wireless channel can be accessed by only one wireless station at the same time.
The principle behind the IEEE802.11 channel access mechanisms is that each station has an equal probability to access the channel. When wireless stations have similar data rates, this principle leads to a fair result. In this case, stations get a similar channel access time which is called airtime.
However, when stations have various data rates (e.g., 11g, 11n), the result is not fair. The slow stations (11g) work in their slow data rate and occupy too much airtime, whereas the fast stations (11n) become much slower.
Take the following figure as an example, both Station A(11g) and Station B(11n) transmit data packets through VigorAP. Although they have an equal probability to access the wireless channel, Station B(11n) gets only a little airtime and waits too much because Station A(11g) spends a longer time to send one packet. In other words, Station B(fast rate) is obstructed by Station A(slow rate).

DrayTek 1062C Ceiling Mount Access Point - WPS Introduction

To improve this problem, Airtime Fairness is added for VigorAP. Airtime Fairness function tries to assign similar airtime to each station (A/B) by controlling TX traffic. In the following figure, Station B(11n) has a higher probability to send data packets than Station A(11g). In this way, Station B(fast rate) gets fair airtime and its speed is not limited by Station A(slow rate).

DrayTek 1062C Ceiling Mount Access Point - WPS Introduction

It is similar to the automatic Bandwidth Limit. The dynamic bandwidth limit of each station depends on the instant active station number and airtime assignment. Please note that Airtime Fairness of 2.4GHz and 5GHz are independent. But stations of different SSIDs function together because they all use the same wireless channel. IN SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTS, this function can reduce the bad influence of slow wireless devices and improve the overall wireless performance.

Suitable environment:

  1. Many wireless stations.
  2. All stations mainly use download traffic.
  3. The performance bottleneck is the wireless connection.

Note:
Airtime Fairness function and Bandwidth Limit function should be mutually exclusive. So their webs have extra actions to ensure these two functions are not enabled simultaneously.

II-2-7 Certificates
A digital certificate is an electronic document issued by a certification authority (CA) to an entity to prove ownership of a public key. It contains identifying information including the issued-to party’s name, a serial number, expiration dates etc., and the digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority so that a recipient can verify that the certificate is real. Vigor AP supports digital certificates that conform to the X.509 standard.
In this section, you can generate and manage local digital certificates, and import trusted CA certificates. Be sure that the system time is correct on the access point so that certificates will not be erroneously considered to be invalid because of an incorrect system time falling outside of the certificate’s valid time period. The easiest way to accomplish this is by periodically synchronizing the system time to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.

II-2-7-2 Trusted CA
The user can build RootCA certificates (up to three) if required.
When the local client and remote server are required to make certificate authentication (e.g., Radius EAP-TLS authentication) for wireless connection and avoid the attack of MITM, a trusted root certificate authority (Root CA) will be used to authenticate the digital certificates offered by both ends.
However, the procedure of applying for digital certificates from a trusted root certificate authority is complicated and time-consuming. Therefore, Vigor AP offers a mechanism that allows you to generate root CA to save time and provide convenience for general users. Later, such root CA generated by the DrayTek server can perform the issuing of the local certificate.
Root CA can be deleted but not edited. If you want to modify the settings for a Root CA, please delete the one and create another one by clicking Create Root CA.

II-4 Virtual Controller – Wireless
This feature allows users to establish and manage a network of DrayTek devices connected by Wireless or Wired links.
The network consists of one Root and multiple Nodes. Root controls this network and syncs configurations to Nodes. Normally Root and Nodes use the same Wireless SSID/security, and Wireless clients can connect to any of them.
For Mesh networks, Root is also the outlet to the Internet. All devices of a network are in the same Group. The root can add a new Node to its Group or delete members from its Group. Users can choose VigorMesh or EasyMesh to establish the Mesh network. If Mesh is disabled, a network with wired links alone could still be established as long as AP Management is enabled.

Mesh Root and Mesh Node
Mesh Root indicates that this device would be another device’s uplink connection.
As a Mesh Root, the device must connect to a gateway with an Ethernet cable first to have an Internet connection.
As a Mesh Node, the device can connect to the Mesh Root or Mesh Node within the same Mesh Group via Wireless or Wired links.

VigorMesh
VigorMesh is a DrayTek proprietary Mesh function.
Pleae note that, within VigorMesh network,
 The total number allowed for Group members is 8 (including the Mesh Root).
 The maximum number of hop is 3.
Refer to the following figure:

Tips for VigorMesh Network Setup

  • VigorMesh supports auto uplink. If a device could not access its gateway, it becomes a Wireless Node automatically.
    A Mesh Root or a Wired Mesh Node should be able to ping its gateway through Ethernet.

  • VigorMesh can add new Mesh Nodes into Mesh Group through both Wireless and Wired.
    However, we recommend to connect new Nodes to the Root by Ethernet cables and add them into Mesh Group first.
    Wait until the configuration sync finishes. And then move the Nodes to their destinations.

  • VigorMesh supports up to 3 hops. However, it is suggested to connect the Mesh network with less than or equal to 2 hops.

  • It is suggested to make the Uplink Signal Strengths of all Wireless Mesh Nodes be larger than -65 dBm.

  • A Wireless Mesh Node with an Ethernet cable should not loop to another Node.

  • If the Mesh Root disappears and there are online Wired Mesh Nodes with Device Role Auto, one of the Wired Mesh Nodes will become a Mesh Root automatically.

  • A VigorMesh Group can be reset by the “Reset” button on Virtual Controller >> Wireless >> Device >> Device List.

  • If resetting a Mesh Root,

  • All online Mesh Nodes will be informed to reset.

  • For those Mesh Nodes unable to reset, reset them manually.

  • If resetting a Mesh Node,

  • The device will become a New Node again.

  • The Wireless SSID settings of the device will be reset, too.

Troubleshooting:

  • Check the country code and Wireless channels.
  • Check the firmware version. Please make sure all Mesh members are in the newest firmware version.
  • Check the Current Device Role and Current Uplink of the device.
  • Please make sure that the device is not in DFS CAC detection.
  • Check the channel load. Make sure it is not over 70%.

Tips for EasyMesh Network Setup

  • Set up multiple mesh devices with uplink RSSI larger than -65dBm.
  • Setup is recommended to use wired connection and device list to add devices.
  • EasyMesh network supports up to 3 hops of devices. However, it is suggested to connect with less than or equal to 2 hops.
  • EasyMesh is not suggested to join existing VigorMesh Environment.
  • The maximum of devices number is (ssid_num * device_num <= 56) -> device_num is the max device number
