Write a review for the DrayTek Vigor 2820n Wireless-N Router BT ADSL here!
s
Ive had one since December and like all the other Drayteks I have owned over the last 10? years it was simple to set up and works perfectly. Im here today to buy another one for my dad which replace his aeging Vigor2600+. Ive tried all brands and Draytek are the best IMHO. My X had a really crappy (BT) ADSL broadband connection, no router would work with it. BT said the service was fine haha. Only the Draytek would pick up a signal and allow a diagnostic. The BT router and a Dlink router.. (which I rate to be a decent cheap router by the way) failed to get any signal. Ive never tried a Cisco yet so maybe a better router than the Draytek exists but Cisco are mega bucks? Buy Draytek and scorn all lesser makes.
I now have 11 of these in remote student houses and they are by far the best I have used so far (and I've tried most!). Excellent reliability and web interface for troubleshooting. Bit pricey but highly recommended if you need something that works. I have not had the problem with the DHCP server mentioned in another review.
Expected a lot from this high spec router but a) it doesn't have any useful traffic stats display for FUP compliance unless an SNMP client monitors it 24x7, b) it DHCP allocated same ip address to multiple MAC addresses, c) wireless connection just drops for no apparent reason (where BT2700HGV works perfectly), d) ADSL speed is 20% less than BT router, e) documentation badly written and unhelpful for the complex user interface.
