DrayTek VigorAP 805 AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Access Point VAP805-K
The DrayTek VigorAP 805 AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Access Point is a dual-band wireless access point designed for businesses and dense environments that need fast, well-managed Wi-Fi across multiple areas. It delivers up to 3Gbps of wireless throughput over Wi-Fi 6 and supports mesh networking, making it well-suited to offices, hospitality venues or any site where a single router cannot provide adequate coverage on its own.
Why this product
Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 dual-band wireless
It delivers up to 600Mbps on 2.4GHz and 2400Mbps on 5GHz, using 802.11ax to handle multiple simultaneous connections more efficiently than previous standards.
2.5GbE uplink with a second Gigabit port
The 2.5Gb Ethernet interface keeps the uplink from becoming a bottleneck, while the second 1GbE port acts as a passthrough to connect a nearby computer or printer.
Mesh auto-configuration for up to 8 access points
Wireless links between compatible VigorAP units configure themselves automatically, and the built-in Wireless Virtual Controller can manage up to 20 access points in total.
Up to 256 clients via 2x3 MU-MIMO
Multi-User MIMO lets the access point serve many devices at once, which is critical in high-density environments such as classrooms, open-plan offices or retail floors.
WPA3 security with mixed WPA2 fallback
It supports WPA3-Personal and 802.1x Enterprise, and can run mixed WPA3/WPA2 networks so legacy devices are not immediately excluded during a security upgrade.
Up to 16 SSIDs across two bands
Up to 8 SSIDs per band allow separate guest, staff and IoT networks to run simultaneously, each with independent security settings, and VLAN support is included over Mesh.

- EAN4710484747310
- Works as a standalone Wi-Fi 6 access point connected to any router or switch via its 2.5GbE uplink.
- Mesh mode is compatible with other DrayTek VigorAP access points, auto-configuring links to connect up to 8 units.
- Central AP management via the Wireless Virtual Controller module supports up to 20 VigorAP access points.
- Management via web interface (HTTP/HTTPS), CLI (Telnet), TR-069, SNMP v2/v2c/v3 and the DrayTek Wireless App.
- Powered by the included DC 12V external PSU only — this unit does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) input, so a PoE switch alone will not power it.
- Designed for free-standing placement; no ceiling or wall-mount bracket is referenced in the supplied specification.
Best for
- High-density environments — support for up to 256 clients and MU-MIMO makes it suitable for open-plan offices, classrooms or hospitality venues.
- Multi-site or multi-zone deployments — mesh auto-configuration and central management of up to 20 access points reduce the effort of running distributed networks.
- Networks requiring network segmentation — up to 16 SSIDs with VLAN support over Mesh lets administrators separate guest, staff and device traffic cleanly.
- Sites upgrading to Wi-Fi 6 gradually — mixed WPA3/WPA2 support means legacy clients continue to work while newer devices benefit from stronger security.
- Locations with a 2.5GbE-capable switch — the 2.5GbE uplink port prevents the Ethernet connection from becoming a bottleneck for the AX3000-class wireless throughput.
Trade-offs
- PoE-only switch deployments — it requires a DC 12V power adapter and does not accept PoE input, so a dedicated power outlet is needed near the unit.
- Ceiling or wall-mount installations — the specification describes free-standing placement only; no mounting hardware is included.
- Mesh deployments mixing other vendors' hardware — the mesh and central management features are specific to compatible DrayTek VigorAP units.
- Very warm environments — the operating temperature ceiling is 40°C, which may be a constraint in plant rooms or outdoor enclosures without adequate cooling.
The VigorAP 805 is a high-performance Mesh Wireless Access Point. It offers up to 3Gbps dual-band wireless performance and up to 2.5Gb Ethernet connectivity. The second Gigabit Ethernet port can be used as a mini switch to connect a computer or printer. Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Access Point with AX3000.
Enjoy a fast and efficient experience with increased capacity. Mesh auto-configures wireless links to connect up to 8 DrayTek VigorAP access points. DrayTek's Mesh solution provides separate wireless networks over Mesh with VLAN support. Band Steering and Airtime Fairness are designed to enhance user experience and performance.
The DrayTek VigorAP 805 is a Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 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 VigorAP 805, you can effortlessly manage up to eight compatible mesh VigorAPs and as many as 20 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 2x3 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 805 can be linked with the network through its 2.5Gb Ethernet interface.
