Hardware Acceleration

Without sacrificing traffic control features such as QoS, Bandwidth Limit, WAN Budget, Traffic Graph and Data Flow Monitor, Hardware Acceleration enhances performance for:

• NAT & routing connections
• QoS
• IPsec VPN

Hardware NAT & Routing

With Hardware Acceleration and Hardware QoS enabled, the router supports up to 8k NAT and routing connections, and firewall performance reaching 940Mbps on single WAN and 1.8Gbps combined performance on multi-WANs.

Dual WAN (Ethernet + xDSL)

802.11ax (WiFi 6) Downlink & Uplink MU-MIMO (Vigor2866ax only)

New OFDMA Feature for 802.11ax (WiFi 6) – Vigor2866ax only

Higher Transmission Efficiency with OFDMA

OFDMA has been used in LTE for many years, and is now available in 802.11ax for multi-user mode.

With legacy OFDM, each frame is transmitted across the entire channel width. When the transmission rate is low, this causes more latency and jitters and lower the overall efficiency.

OFDMA splits a single frame into groups of subcarriers, and each subcarrier can be sent simultaneously. With multiple access mode, it allows multiple users to transmit at the same time thus improving efficiency and enhancing user experiences in high density environments.

802.11ax (WiFi 6) BSS Colouring (Vigor2866ax only)

In traditional 802.11 Wi-Fi networks, access points are designed to wait and take turns if other signals of the same frequency are detected from adjacent access points. This sharing of a resource, in this case radio frequencies, is called a basic service set (BSS). 802.11ax adds Colouring to the BSS information being broadcast so that APs can use the same channel at the same time without having to take turns. This increases Wi-Fi efficiency, particularly in high density environments.

In the diagram here, AP1 and AP4 are using Channel 1 simultaneously, which normally means they would have to take turns if transmitting information at the same time. However, using BSS Colouring, the 2 APs can now transmit simultaneously without waiting.

An 802.11ax AP using BSS Colouring has the ability to change its BSS Colour if it detects another AP using the same BSS Colour on the same frequency.

Assisted Wi-Fi Roaming – built-in in selected Wi-Fi Vigor Routers and all Vigor Access Points

Extend Transmission Range

When a Wi-Fi client moves out of its effective transmission range which is defined by the Basic Rate and/or Received Signal Strength threshold, the AP forces the Wi-Fi client to pick up a nearby access point with stronger signals thereby extending the range.

Improve Data Rates

When the “Minimum RSSI with Adjacent AP” option is set, APs or routers on the same local subnet will exchange client information with each other and switch to the AP or router that has the strongest signal, ensuring that data rates can be as good as possible.

Better User Experience

Instead of ineffective transmission with low basic rates or RSSI, the better links provide better user experience while saving the airtime.

No Controller Required

Assisted Roaming is a built-in feature in all Vigor Access Points and a number of Wi-Fi routers; it saves the need for an ad-hoc wireless controller and is an ideal solution for simple network deployments.
