II-1-5-4 AP Discovery
Vigor router can scan all regulatory channels and find working APs in the neighborhood. Based on
scanning result, users will know which channel is clean for usage. Also, it can be used to facilitate
finding an AP for a WDS link. Notice that during the scanning process (about 5 seconds), no client is
allowed to connect to Vigor router.
This page is used to scan the existence of the APs around. Please click Scan to discover all the
nearby APs.
client can communicate with the other AP through the original AP with
Action Frames (FT Request and FT Response).
Over the Air - In response to the needs of signal strength change, the
client can communicate directly with the other AP using a fast
roaming authentication algorithm (without requiring reauthentication
at every AP).
Assisted Roaming by Signal Strength (RSSI)
Switch the toggle to enable/disable the function.
When the link rate of the wireless station is too low or the signal
received by the wireless station is too worse, Vigor router will
automatically detect (based on the link rate and RSSI requirement)
and cut off the network connection for that wireless station to assist it
to connect another Wireless AP to get better signal.
When the signal strength of the wireless station is below the value
(dBm) set here and adjacent AP (must be DrayTek Router/AP and
support such feature too) with higher signal strength value (defined in
the field of Assist roaming when adjacent AP signal is better than)
is detected by Vigor router, Vigor router will terminate the network
connection for that wireless station. Later, the wireless station can
connect to the adjacent AP (with better RSSI).
Specify a value as a threshold.
