  • Page 5: Ceiling Mount Installation

    3.1 Ceiling-mount Installation For a wooden ceiling, you can use self-tapping screws to fix the mounting bracket without any other fixings. The screws go through the bracket and then directly into the wood; no ‘wall-plug’ fixing needs to be used For ceilings made of plasterboard, you can use the self-tapping fixings.
  • Page 6 3.2 Attaching VigorAP to the ceiling bracket Install the supplied screws into the back of the AP. These special screws protrude from the back of the AP, leaving a bayonet type fitting to attach to the bracket: Lift the VigorAP up to the bracket and connect up the power and Ethernet cables. Line up the fixing screws and gently rotate the AP in order that the bayonets connect and ensure a comfortable fit into the slots.
  • Page 7 You cannot screw into ceiling tiles as they are weak and not suitable for bearing loads. Your VigorAP is supplied with mounts (T-Rail brackets) which attach directly to the metal grid (‘T-Rail’) of your suspended ceiling. 1. Choose one set of T-Rail mounts to suit the size (gauge) of your T-rail. 2.
  • Page 8 4. Attach the T-Rail brackets to the ceiling frame: For wall-mounting, the VigorAP has keyhole type mounting slots on the underside. You can fit the AP at any axis (i.e. 12, 3, 6 or 9 O’Clock) to allow for cable entry from the most convenient location if you are using side entry –...

  • Page 10: Connect To A Vigor Router Using Ap Management

    Your VigorAP can be used with Vigor routers which support AP management (such as the Vigor 2860 or Vigor 2925 series). AP Management enables you to monitor and manage multiple DrayTek APs from a single interface. 1. From the web interface of your Vigor router with AP management, open the menu Central AP Management>>Status.

  • Page 12 The Vigor AP-910C will attempt to get its IP address automatically from your LAN’s DHCP server (normally provided by your router).

  • Page 14 Note If the IP address has been modified, use the new LAN IP address for accessing into the web user interface of VigorAP. 3. Open Wireless Setting (2.4GHz)>>General Setup to configure the 2.4Ghz wireless network. We recommend changing the default SSID (the wireless network name which is visible to users).
  • Page 15 SSID Naming: When giving your SSIDs names, you may want to give them names which indicate their band, in order that it’s easy to determine if you’re using 2.4 or 5Ghz. For example, you could call your SSIDs Henry and Henry_5, respectively. The defaults are DrayTek and DrayTek_5G.
