Mapping AP Locations

VigorACS 2's Floor Plan can store images of floor plans and locations to record wireless access point locations. Simply drag and drop virtual APs or existing APs for the selected VigorACS network.

When the dimensions of the image are specificed, Floor Plan simulates wireless coverage of each wireless access point, to determine the best position for each VigorAP within that floor plan.
