"With many of the ADSL routers offering similar features, the DrayTek stands out a mile. A glance at the back of the unit suggests why: as well as an ADSL and four 10/100 Ethernet ports, there are two sockets for connecting phones to use with the built-in VoIP support. There’s also a USB port for hooking up a printer, which can then be shared on the network The VoIP feature is perhaps the most enticing. A tick in the 802.11e QoS checkbox means VoIP calls shouldn’t drop in quality, while the two phone ports mean you can connect your handset and make Internet calls without needing a PC."

With many of the ADSL routers offering a similar set of features, the DrayTek stands out a mile. A glance at the back of the unit suggests why : as well as an ADSL and four 10/100 Ethernet prots, there are two sockets for connecting phones to use with the built-in VoIP support............The Vigor2600VG offers some incredibly powerful filtering technology to control who can access what on the Internet.............There are some great advanced features too. All the routers have VPN capabilities to an extent, but the DrayTek is one of only two that allows you to create......... [ more info ]

"As with all DrayTek's Vigors, the Vigor2500V offers a wealth of features and the VoIP telephony works particularly well. At the price, it won't be long before you start saving money on phone calls either. Other SIP users will have noticed that call quality can be destroyed by by using the same broadband connection for heavy data use - particularly upstream. The Vigor2500V's QoS Assurance gets around this by dedicating bandwidth to the telephony when it's in operation so you always get decent quality."

"Of the different manufacturers tested, we were able to get both the Vigor2600VG and Vigor2500V routers up and running and making VoIP calls in a matter of minutes, both to other SIP users and out to the public phone network. Call quality in both instances was excellent using the default codecs. Both Vigor routers have features to recommend them and with good support from manufacturer and distributor, they're well worth looking at. "
