Vigor2830Vn – Killer Product Says PC Mag Greece

DrayTek’s Vigor2830Vn ADSL2/2+ router has recently earned DrayTek another notch on its belt. In the July 2011 of PC Magazine Greece, the Vigor2830Vn was deemed a ‘Killer Product’ in an editor’s review. They especially loved its abundance of features, Gigabit interfaces, 3G USB support and wireless ‘n’ functions.

Here is a translated excerpt of the article:

“DrayTek is a manufacturer of networking solutions with great experience and also a wide range of products. Vigor2830Vn ADSL modem/router is equipped with plenty of features, which make it fully capable to meet the needs of even high demanding business environments. The first interesting feature to notice is that all its four Ethernet ports are Gigabit. Furthermore, you will find one WAN port, available for connection with a second network, which is also Gigabit. Nevertheless, to keep you constantly “online”, Vigor2830Vn integrates a USB port where you can connect any 3G USB modem that can offer access to the 3G network and then to the Internet. One of its sophisticated characteristics is that Vigor2830Vn provides the user with the ability to realize up to three simultaneous WAN connections, something which will be greatly appreciated by many network administrators. Moreover, it supports the impressive number of 50,000 NAT sessions, when the preceding model (Vigor 2820Vn) supports up to 15,000 NAT sessions. Vigor 2830Vn is also a powerful, wireless-N compatible router. It integrates three antennas, while on its front display you will find a double-function switch, which is used to activate and de-activate the Wi-Fi option, but also to initiate the WPS procedure for ensuring easy clients’ connection. Last but not least, its integrated management software allows you to define Internet access policies based on login & limits – either time or access restrictive – for specific sites.”

 With the latest Vigor2830 series, DrayTek has taken their proven recipe for the award-winning Vigor2820 series and taken it to a whole new level. The highly-refined Vigor2830 series comprising of Vigor2830, Vigor2830n (wireless) and Vigor2830Vn (wireless and VoIP), is embedded with one ADSL2/2+ WAN port, one Gigabit Ethernet WAN port and one USB port for 3.5G USB modem.

New Firmware 3.2.6.1 for Vigor2710e Series

Vigor2710e and Vigor2710ne are two of the more basic DrayTek ADSL2/2+ routers. Even so, these streamlined routers include all your basic necessities, plus just that little bit extra to impress. Still, there were some of you out there asking  for more from Vigor2710e and finally your routing prayers have been answered. DrayTek has just released the latest firmware for Vigor2710e series which allows for a second subnet to IP Routing Usage!

Previously, the Vigor 2710e only allowed for one subnet:

With this latest firmware update, the same page of the very user-friendly web configuration will look like this:

This means that users can now sign up a block of public (WAN) IPs with their ISP and reserve those public IPs for specific purposes such as a Web server or Mail server. You could even assign the public IP as a IP surveillance camera for home security.

This feature has been available on the Vigor2710Vigor2820 series and our other higher-end products, and now it is finally available on the Vigor2710e series.

The Vigor2710e is an ADSL2+ router that supports up to 24 Mbps (downstream) / 2.5 Mbps (upstream) ADSL speeds. Networked devices such as computers can share the Internet and communicate with each other through the built-in LAN switch. The Vigor2710e is designed with object-based SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall to detect malicious packets, such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, and prevent these from jeopardizing the internal home or office network thus ensuring upmost network security and reliability.
