The DrayTek Vigor 2860ac provides several independent levels of security including encryption (up to WPA2), authentication (802.11x) and methods such as MAC address locking and DHCP fixing to restrict access to authorised users only. The Web interface lets you see how many and which clients are currently connected as well as their current bandwidth usage. An 'instant' block lets you disconnect a WiFi user temporarily in case of query. The WiFi VLAN facility allows you to isolate WiFi clients from each other or from the 'wired' LAN.

This DrayTek Vigor 2860ac also allows guest access with password protection so that visitors can use your WiFi access, but only with a preset password which you set for them. When the user connects to your WiFi LAN, they are firstly presented with your login screen before any Internet access is permitted. This is in addition to any encryption system you have running.

The Multiple SSID features enables you to have up to four distinct or common virtual WiFi access points. For example, you could have one for company usage, with access to your company LAN and another for public access which allows internet surfing only. Setting up WiFi security is made easier thanks to the WPS feature (WiFi protected setup) whereby your client PC can get it's security keys by pressing a button on the front of the router.
