DrayTek Vigor 2762n Wireless ADSL/VDSL Router

Product Description

The Vigor 2762 is an ADSL/VDSL2, Ethernet or 3G/4G router, thats ideal for your small office or home business/office. It provides connectivity to your PCs or other Internet-connected devices (laptops, tablets, games consoles, smartphones) via its 4 built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports, or using Wireless LAN (on n & ac models). The firewall helps protect your network from external threats, as well as the Vigor 2762s built-in Content Filtering which gives you control over what & when your local users can access or download. The Vigor 2762 series can alternatively connect to an Ethernet Internet connection, such as a cable/fiber modem (e.g. Virgin Media) instead of connecting to a ADSL/VDSL line. Compatible 3G & 4G (LTE) modems can also optionally be added to the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port to provide backup or main Internet connectivity without any fixed line. The Dray Tek Vigor 2762ac adds 802.11ac Dual-Band Wireless to your network, with up to 866 Mbps on the 5 G Hz 11ac b&, & up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 G Hz b&, allowing devices access to the Internet from around the property. The Vigor 2762ac operates simultaneiously in both the 2.4 Ghz & less congested 5 Ghz band so your devices can connect to either, with Band Steering to ensure that each wireless device connecting is guided to its most suitable wireless b&. The Vigor 2762 Vac variant integrates a Vo IP ATA (Analogue Telephone Adapter), which provides two analogue phone ports to provide Vo IP integration via the Internet (Vo IP). You can connect 1 or 2 regular telephones, which can be used independently & simultaneously for both incoming & outgoing calls. An Ideal firewall router for Fibre Broadband Many broadband connections offered by ISPs are referred to as Fibre Broadb&, although technically in many cases theyre actually VDSL based connections which run over your phone line. The phone lines twisted pair telephone cable runs from the premise to a street cabinet (these are typically 4ft green boxes with a Openreach logo on) which contain a VDSL MSAN (multi-service access node) that connects to fibre infrastructure which runs to the local exchange & then on to the ISPs core network. The Vigor 2762s built-in DSL interface (WAN1) is ideal for connecting this type of VDSL based connection. Cable Modem & Ethernet WAN Compatible As well as being able to connect to ADSL/VDSL lines directly through the Vigor 2762s RJ11 DSL socket, the Vigor 2762 series can instead connect to Ethernet-fed Internet connections, such as that provided by cable modems (e.g. Virgin Media). When Ethernet WAN is enabled, LAN Port 4 switches to become your WAN port into which you can connect to your cable modem or other Ethernet feed. The other 3 Gigabit LAN ports (1-3) remain available for normal LAN connectivity. Note, you cannot have Ethernet WAN & ADSL/VDSL enabled at the same time; if Ethernet WAN is enabled, the ADSL/VDSL port is disabled (and vice versa). The photo on the right shows the Vigor 2762 connected to a fiber modem using the Ethernet WAN Port. IPv 6
- Next Generation Internet Routing The Vigor 2762 supports IPv 6
- the successor to the current IPv 4 addressing system that has been used since the Internet was first created. IPv 4 address space is full up & IPv 6 allows for much more efficient routing & a larger address space. IPv 6 is supported directly from your own ISP, but if your ISP does not (yet) support IPv 6, the Vigor 2762 also supports IPv 6 broker/tunnel services to provide IPv 6 access using either TSPC or AICCU via 3rd party IPv 6 providers. The advanced networking features of the Vigor 2762, such as the object-based Firewall, Quality of Service, Content Filtering & VLANs support both IPv 4 & IPv 6 networks.
