DrayTek VigorAP 1062C AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 Ceiling Access Point
The DrayTek VigorAP 1062C AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 Ceiling Access Point is a dual-band ceiling or wall-mounted wireless access point designed for businesses and high-density environments that need reliable, high-capacity wireless coverage. It delivers up to 6 Gbps combined throughput over Wi-Fi 6, supports up to 256 concurrent clients, and can be managed centrally alongside up to 50 access points through DrayTek's Wireless Virtual Controller or VigorACS cloud portal.
Why this product
AX6000 dual-band Wi-Fi 6 performance
It delivers 1,200 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 4,800 Mbps on 5 GHz for a combined throughput of up to 6,000 Mbps, using 4x4 MU-MIMO and OFDMA to handle many devices simultaneously.
2.5 Gb Ethernet uplink
A single 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port (2.5G/1G/100M/10M) provides a fast wired backhaul connection, avoiding the bottleneck that a standard Gigabit port would create at this throughput level.
PoE+ powered for clean installation
It draws power directly from the Ethernet cable via IEEE 802.3at PoE+, eliminating the need to run a separate power cable to the ceiling or wall mounting point.
WPA3 security with enterprise RADIUS support
It supports WPA3-Personal, WPA3-Enterprise (802.1x RADIUS), and mixed WPA2/WPA3 modes, with 802.1q VLAN segmentation to keep guest and internal networks fully separated.
Up to 16 SSIDs across two bands
Configure as many as 8 SSIDs per band — 16 in total — each individually segmented with VLANs, making it straightforward to run separate networks for staff, guests, IoT devices, and more.
Mesh and centralised AP management built in
It can act as a Mesh Root for up to 8 VigorAP mesh nodes, and as a controller for up to 50 access points via the Wireless Virtual Controller module or VigorACS cloud management.

- Compatible with any 802.3at PoE+ capable switch or injector for single-cable power and data.
- Works with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) clients, and is backwards compatible with older Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 4, and earlier client devices.
- Supports fast roaming via 802.11r and 802.11k for client devices that implement these protocols.
- Integrates with DrayTek VigorACS cloud management and is manageable via the DrayTek Wireless app.
- Mesh networking and multi-AP management via the Wireless Virtual Controller are designed for use with compatible DrayTek VigorAP access points; mesh node count is limited to 8 VigorAPs, and the Virtual Controller supports up to 50 APs total.
- Can also be powered by a DC power adapter (socket included) if a PoE+ switch is not available; the adapter is not confirmed as included in the box.
Best for
- High-density offices and venues that need to connect up to 256 concurrent clients per access point across multiple segmented wireless networks.
- Businesses deploying multiple access points that want centralised management of up to 50 APs through the Wireless Virtual Controller or VigorACS cloud portal without additional licensing complexity.
- Environments requiring strong wireless security, including WPA3-Enterprise with 802.1x RADIUS and full VLAN segmentation between SSIDs.
- Installers who need a clean, cable-light fit-out, since PoE+ over the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port means only one cable is needed per access point.
- Networks requiring wireless mesh backhaul where cabling between all access point locations is not practical, using DrayTek's Mesh with VLAN support across mesh links.
Trade-offs
- Outdoor deployments — the product is specified for ceiling or wall-mount indoor installation only and carries no stated outdoor or weatherproof rating.
- Networks already using a non-DrayTek mesh ecosystem — mesh functionality is designed for compatible DrayTek VigorAP units and does not extend to third-party access points.
- Installations limited to standard Gigabit PoE switches where the 2.5 Gb uplink cannot be fully utilised, though the port does fall back to 1G/100M/10M.
- Very small or single-AP deployments where the built-in multi-AP management and mesh capabilities would go unused and a simpler, lower-cost access point would suffice.
The VigorAP 1062C is a high-performance ceiling or wall-mounted Mesh Wireless Access Point. It offers up to 6Gbps dual-band wireless performance and up to 2.5Gb Ethernet connectivity. Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Access Point with AX6000. Enjoy a fast and efficient experience with increased capacity.
The DrayTek VigorAP 1062C is a Wi-Fi 6 AX6000 access point with 2.5Gbps Ethernet capability. The latest wireless standard dramatically improves performance, handling efficiently multiple users and devices. The technology is partially based on LTE features used on mobile networks where many connections are managed by a single AP (mast). This powerful access point can handle even more SSIDs. You can configure up to 8 for each wireless band (16 SSIDs in total).
With more available capacity being essential for the volume of data traffic generated by voice, video, and gaming applications, Wi-Fi 6 utilises the following key technologies:
This allows for better performance at range and through walls with 2.4GHz frequency, while still having all the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 technology. Allowing the VigorAP and its clients to make full use of the bandwidth available. With more and more connected devices, including IoT smart devices, many of which run on batteries, improving battery life is always a priority. Target Wake Time allows client devices to extend their battery life, by staying in lower power states for longer. Only checking in with the wireless network when needed.
Instead of periodically contacting an access point to stay connected, Wi-Fi 6 client devices negotiate with the VigorAP access point, arranging when to start transmitting again to suit their requirements.
The VigorAP 1062C supports the latest WPA3 security standards and offers a multitude of network management features to allow implementation of complex wireless networks. The VigorAP 1062C supports up to 8 wireless networks per wireless band. Fully segmented from each other with 802.1q VLANs, guest network access is fully separated from internal company data.
Mesh wireless enables wireless networks to provide fast connectivity to all clients without cabling between VigorAP access points. Simply set up a Mesh Root and add some Nodes with the DrayTek Wireless App and the DrayTek Mesh will determine the best path between access points to provide the best user experience.
With VigorAP 1062C, you can effortlessly manage up to eight compatible mesh VigorAPs and as many as 50 access points through the easy-to-use Wireless Virtual Controller module. Enjoy the convenience of auto-provisioning and AP monitoring, both readily available upon initial use.
Easily accommodate high-density environments by linking up to 256 clients with our 802.11ax dual-band antennas and Wi-Fi 6 4x4 Multi-User MIMO technology.
Protect your network with robust wireless security using the latest WPA3-Personal or 802.1x Enterprise. Networks can transition to the new standard with mixed WPA3/WPA2 support and different SSIDs can be set with varying security levels.
The VigorAP 1062C can be powered through its 2.5Gb Ethernet interface using standard IEEE 802.3at PoE+ for a convenient and neat installation.
The AP-1062C is a versatile shape that complements both business and home interiors. It can be installed on ceilings or walls and comes with a secure ceiling mounting plate and easy-to-install clips for suspended ceilings.
DrayTek's access points, switches and routers can all be managed through the VigorACS management portal, with all of the menu options and features available, just as if they were being set up locally. Dashboard view gives a full overview of a VigorAP's status and usage.
