The Vigor 2862 series is our new flagship router/firewall. Exact feature support varies by model (see
Specification tab). It is what weve called the Ultimate DSL router supporting both ADSL or VDSL (BT Infinity/FTTC) & packed with professional level features to increase security, flexibility & functionality, making it ideal as your standard router for almost any scenario. As well as ADSL/VDSL support, alternative WAN ports can instead provide connectivity to Ethenet feeds (Gigabit WAN2 is switchable with LAN Port 5*), secondary x DSL modems or a 3G/4G cellular service using a supported USB (Universal Serial Bus) adapter (or there is the Vigor 2862 Ln model with 3G/4G/LTE built-in). These multiple LAN feeds can be combined for failover or load-balancing. This latest router series
Includes:: support for other professional features such as VLAN tagging, Qo S (Quality of Service Assurance), High Availability, DNS Filter, Policy Based Routing, & User Access Control. Hotspot features with customisable branding & wording which can be applied to guest network VLANs & SSIDs. If you deploy Dray Tek Wireless Access Points, the Vigor 2862 can act as the Central Management controller (click on any of those links for an explanation of each feature). A 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch on the LAN side provides high speed connectivity for your server, other local PCs or for uplink to a larger Ethernet switch. Comprehensive security features include content filtering, web application controls & an object based firewall management system. Port 5 is switchable with WAN2 to use it as an Ethernet WAN port instead of a LAN port*. If you need more ports, we have a complete range of gigabit Ethernet switches, or add a Vigor G1080 & USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable for a self-powered combination. Runs on either ADSL or VDSL The Vigor 2862s built in DSL interface will connect to either an ADSL or VDSL2 line. If you have a second line (of either type) you can add an additional modem (or your existing modem from your other line) to the Vigor 2862s Ethernet WAN ports. You can set the two lines up in load balancing mode, where traffic is split across both of them, or into failover mode, where the other DSL line only kicks-in if your primary DSL line fails (or vice versa). ADSL makes a particularly good method of failover for VDSL because they are delivered differently. VDSL service is provided & powered by a cabinet in your street
- thats where the line terminates. ADSL service, on the other h&, comes all the way from your local exchange, which could be miles away & is powered from there. That means that if your streets VDSL cabinet is damaged, its DSLAM fails or you lose power to your street, you lose VDSL, but your ADSL line comes via a different method & route, so its less likely that both would be affected. Robust & Comprehensive Firewall Security is always taken seriously with Dray Tek routers. The firewall protects against attacks including Do S (Denial of Service) attacks, IP-based attacks & access by unauthorised remote systems. Wireless, Ethernet & VPN are also protected by various protection systems. The Dray Tek object-based firewall allows even more setup flexibility than ever, enabling you to create combinations of users, rules & restrictions to suit multi-departmental organisations. The Vigor 2862 also allows selective direction firewall rules of LAN to WAN, WAN to LAN or LAN to VPN. IPv 6
- Next Generation Internet Routing The Vigor 2862 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 both from your own ISP, but if your ISP does not (yet) support IPv 6, the Vigor 2862 also supports IPv 6 broker/tunnel services to provide IPv 6 access using either TSPC or AICCU via 3rd party IPv 6 providers. To learn all about IPv 6, you can get our detailed guide to IPv 6 here & you can view the IPv 6 detailed support in the product
