DrayTek Announces the new VigorFly210

29/02/2012 by Leave a comment

DrayTek has recently announced the release of the new IPv6 ready VigorFly210 compact broadband router.

The VigorFly 210 is an IPv6 compact broadband router with 802.11n WLAN capability. Its Ethernet WAN port can connect to any of VDSL/VDSL2/GPON/G.SHDSL/ADSL2+/ADSL/cable WAN outputs.

The high NAT throughput rate of VigorFly 210 allows it to handle time-critical streaming at ease, so your family and friends can enjoy multimedia applications via the built-in Ethernet switch. And if you are out of the ADSL range, you can plug a 3G/4G USB modem to the USB port and get Internet access instantly.

The built-in 802.11n WLAN AP with two antennas provides you with fast and reliable WLAN connectivity. The WMM (WiFi Multimedia) function allows you to send or receive high speed multimedia traffic easily.

VigorFly 210 offers some extra features that are not normally provided on other similarly priced products. One of these is the ability to set up three separate virtual access points, each one with its own SSID and specific security parameters. In this way for example, it’s possible to create temporary profiles for the access of guests, without the need to use your regular access network’s password. A fourth SSID can be activated by enabling the Universal Repeater mode, making VigorFly 210 to work as a WDS (Wireless Distributed System).

VigorFly 210 provides enhanced security protection and features for your network, including Commtouch GlobalView Web Content Filter, DoS/DDoS attack prevention, SPI, Port-redirection, open port, and MAC address filter. All these features strengthen the security inside and outside your network.

For places where there’s no ADSL or cable Internet access and only 3G/4G mobile broadband is available, you can connect your 3G/4G modem onto the VigorFly 210 and instantly, other PC and devices can share the Internet access. Better still, it has all the key features that DrayTek’s Vigor routers are family about.

On the pipeline is a planned firmware enhancement to include one VPN tunnel for remote access as well as Bandwidth Management features including:

  • APP QoS: Prioritize Packet of VoIP, Video Streaming, IM, P2P
  • Bandwidth/Session Limitation

How DrayTek’s IPv6 Solution Works

29/02/2012 by Leave a comment

DrayTek IPv6 solution will help you transit your business or home network from IPv4 to IPv6, in the most cost-effective and secure way. This blog describes the common inter-communication mechanisms employed by DrayTek.

1. Dual Stack to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 networks

DrayTek provides an additional memory stack to handle the IPv6 related traffic and services. This dual stack functionality enables DrayTek’s routers to handle both IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time.

The new Online Status page shows both the IPv4 and IPv6 network status.

2.      Tunnel mode to get IPv6 addresses

For cases where the ISP does not support IPv6 services, DrayTek routers allow a Tunnel mode (TSPC or AICCU) to be used to access hosts with IPv6 addresses, allowing existing IPv4 network devices to communicate with the IPv6 ones.

The IPv6 packets will be encapsulated with the IPv4 header, allowing the packets to be handled by IPv4 routers. Once the packets reach the border devices between IPv4 and IPv6, the IPv4 header will be removed, and the remaining IPv6 packets will be forwarded to the destinations in the IPv6 network.

The diagram below shows the option for TSPC or AICCU Tunnel mode.

3. Translation

For communication among the IPv4 networks, the Translation feature allows IPv4 addresses to be translated and passed through IPv6 networks.

Other Features

Advanced firewall filter to prevent unauthorized access from WAN

The additional addresses available in the IPv6 networks do mean that network accesses can be more easily breached. The new DrayTek routers with IPv6 functionality cater for extra blocking of unauthorized access from the IPv6 network and the Internet, and pass only traffic related to addresses listed in the firewall’s filters.

Quality of Service for application prioritization

Similar to the QoS functionality for IPv4, the QoS for IPv6 allows you to define the priority and reserve bandwidth for essential applications – over the IPv6 networks.

The diagram describes the QoS setting for the Web server in the IPv6 environment.

Get Business & Home Network Ready for IPv6

28/02/2012 by Leave a comment

You may be aware that since February 3, 2011, IPv4 addresses have been completely allocated hence the urgency to provide products the support IPv6. There are tremendous benefits to be gained when the network moves to the IPv6 era with the unlimited IP addresses that IPv6 can provide.

Some examples of practical applications are: smart grid for efficient energy distribution, home automation for security, long-distance healthcare and even grocery shopping from your refrigerator and much more.

Being a global leader in the networking fields, DrayTek has prepared for their latest products to help your business and home network to be ready for IPv6 migration.

Doing so, DrayTek has ensured that these products will do:

  1. Work with both IPv4 and IPv6 networks

During the migration, your router needs access both IPv4 and IPv6 networks to deliver the full service to the business and home.

  1. Independent of ISPs

You are not limited by local ISPs. Even if they are not ready yet, your home and business network can still get IPv6 addresses.

  1. Maintain data integrity

Your business and home network wouldn’t be accessed by someone unknown and your network and data are protected.

  1. Prioritize essential applications

Your important applications, such as VoIP or media streaming need to get the highest priority with larger bandwidth to ensure the quality that you require.

VigorAP 700 Now Available in Australia

14/02/2012 by Leave a comment

With the iPhone/iPAD, Android phones, tablets, and other mobile devices being used everywhere, access from these devices to WLAN (wireless local area network) has meant that WLAN accessibility at work, public places and home is now a necessity, and where WLAN is existent, people are asking for extended range and higher security.

To help quench the thirst, DrayTek has produced a low cost alternative to the feature rich VigorAP 800. The VigorAP 700 is ideal if you do not require all the advanced features of VigorAP 800, but require reliable and secure WLANs.

Some of the outstanding features of The VigorAP 700 are:

  • Latest 802.11n draft with 802.11b/g compatibility workable with your legacy wireless devices.
  • Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) to green your IT via power saving and traffic-optimized capabilities.
  • Multiple SSID (Up to 4 SSID) and Virtual LAN for guest wireless access to the Internet.
  • AP-Client mode as a destination reinforcing your converge via the existing wireless network.
  • WDS (Wireless Distribution System) easily extending your network through Point-to-Point /Multi-Point Bridge and Universal Repeater Mode.
  • Built-in RADIUS Server for the security enhancement of your wireless network.
  • Industry level security standards including 802.11i (WPA2).

The WMM (Wi-Fi Multi Media) standard defines QoS (Quality of Service) in Wi-Fi networks and is a precursor to the upcoming IEEE 802.11e WLAN QoS draft standard that is designed to prioritize applications, e.g. audio, video and voice, transmitted over Wi-Fi and thus improve the network performance.

The Multiple SSID and the Virtual LAN capabilities mean that you can divide the VigorAP 700 into several virtual APs, and assign policies and functions for each SSID to support different applications. For example, visitors to businesses or the public in hotels, shopping malls or restaurants can be given wireless access to the Internet, but are barred from internal data servers.

The RADIUS server allows you to store and manage user names and password centrally and control access to your network easily and securely.

For larger places such as shopping malls, the WDS (Wireless Distribution System) makes it easy to switch between point-to-point and point-to-multi point, or bridging and repeater modes. This means that the signal ranges and network capacities can be easily extended. If required, the detachable antennas on the VigorAP 700 can also be swapped with higher gain or directional ones.
