DrayTek Vigor 2866ax - WiFi 6 Dual Band Router, Simultaneous WAN, VDSL2/ADSL2+/G,Fast,6 x Lan Ports, 32 VPN Tunnels, 3G/4G LTE Failover Support. Ideal For Business, Homeworking

I've been using Draytek routers for over 20 years and supply them to my customers. This one is a replacement for a 10 year old Draytek which is no longer receiving firmware updates.Throughput is excellent for VOIP phones, firewall is pretty decent and it's flexible to allow access to various systems such as CCTV or on-prem VPN's securely.The WIFI on this unit has 1.3Gb throughput, which far exceeds most wifi solutions. Highly recommended

I've had vigor firewalls for many years. this new one does more stuff.It does take longer to reboot, and seems more susceptible to power problems causing unreliability, but they do the work I need and do it well.

We got this having had a positive experience with a DrayTek router in the past, but sadly the 2866AX is unable to maintain a DSL connection and reboots itself every few hours, even after installing the latest firmware. It's also unable to sync at the speeds of the router it is supposed to be replacing, and is far more unstable. Using the web UI seems to make the instability worse and it will occasionally randomly reboot the router when configuring it.An expensive mistake and very disappointing.

Drayteks are known for having mediocre WiFi, but I swear they are getting worse. Compared to my previous 2762, the 5Ghz WiFi band on the 2866ax is slightly better, but the 2.4Ghz band is much, much worse. Barely 4 meters away and the SSID keeps disappearing from the channel list. At the same time I can pick up the WiFi from the neighbour's house across the street with more consistently and with better signal strength. As a wired router/firewall it is fine and if your are connecting it to a separate WiFi hotspot you won't mind, but if you are looking for an all-in-one device, look elsewhere.

Recently purchased to replace 10 year old Vigor 2820. Yes a little expensive but very powerful and flexible. Firewall and VPN can be configured to suit needs and great support on DrayTek website as it can get quite confusing with various settings. Maybe this model is overkill for standard home use but if your working from home, run a small business this a great out of the box solution for setting up WAN and remote access.I connected directly to BT infinity and performance better than BT Home hub with no issues, and this model is future proof with support for full fibre connections.In my experience DrayTek routers are very stable and once setup and running you can forget about it. The key plus is that they just work!

Normally I like Draytek devices, but I returned due to constant reboots. Looks like I bought a bad one. I found the sync speed was lower than other modems too.

Been having problems with my ISP - i basically been asking for a new router /modem now for 3 years to which any excuse comes out in what they not going to send one out - wouldnt mind but mine branded as PO which was the company they took over - so it doesnt even have their brand on it - anyways - i work a lot from home working in IT and thought it would be nice to have VPN at home and few VLANS - i thought it would take most of my weekend up - took a very short time - even added some firewall rules.In short I'm happy
