Out of interest, I assume that you are seeing a setting for "5GHz-2" in the WLAN profile, in addition to 5GHz. I can't see mention of this in the manual. In the APs themselves there does not appear to be a "5GHz-2" setting. What do you think it means?



I assume it is to set up a second 5GHz WLAN profile. I thought it is strange that there is no option to setup a second 2.4GHz WLAN as I have two 2.4GHz WLAN setup on the AP903 that use separate VLAN's

Not quite sure what you mean there - I have 3 VLAN SSIDs (out of a possible 4) running on both 2.4 and 5, with no need of the mysterious "5GHz-2" .

I reckon it's for a future Draytek AP, that will have a dedicated 5GHz radio, purely for the Mesh Backhaul (like the Netgear Orbi does :wink: )

Maybe the AP903 already has it, and a future firmware upgrade will enable it :D

Let's hope so! Although I'm guessing that a dedicated backhaul channel would be "hidden" and there would be no setting for it in the profile. In any event, I'm not shelling out for "new" APs having just bought 4 AP903s!

I've tried installing Vigorconnect on my W10 PC but I get one of two messages when I try to run the exe file - either "You don't have permissions to run this file" or "Another program is already using this file". Either way, after the install has failed the exe file is no longer in the folder and I have to re-extract the zip file to get it back :?: What am I doing wrong?

That sounds a bit 'virus-checker' related, to me :roll:
