Connection and Configuration

4.1 Connect to a Vigor Router using AP Management
Your VigorAP can be used with Vigor routers which support AP management (such as the Vigor2865 or Vigor2927 series). AP Management enables you to monitor and manage multiple DrayTek APs from a single interface.

  1. Connect VigorAP to PoE switch (via LAN port) with Ethernet cable. VigorAP will get the power from the switch directly. Then, connect the VigorSwitch to a Vigor router.DrayTek VigorAP 1060C Powerful Wireless Ceiling Mount AP fig 7
