The DrayTek Vigor2133 Series high-performance routers are designed for super-fast broadband networks. Features include 1x Gigabit Ethernet WAN port for Internet access and 3G/4G backup provided via the 2 USB ports by attaching a supported 3G/4G USB modem. 802.1Q VLAN support is also featured, allowing triple-play services to be delivered to your home network. Business-grade features including an extensive Firewall with Content Filtering, VPN and Bandwidth Management make the Vigor2133 series routers a perfect solution for home office and teleworkers. The Vigor2133Vac model also has 2 FXS ports to attach two analogue phones for a VoIP gateway.

The Vigor2133ac and Vigor2133Vac models include integrated 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi delivering wireless throughput up to 867 Mbps. Business-grade Wi-Fi features include AirTime Fairness, Router-Assisted Roaming and Band-Steering to ensure a smooth wireless connection for HD videos, gaming and internet phones.

QoS allows network administrators to set priorities for certain types of traffic such as VoIP or video streaming to ensure the best level of performance is achieved, even under network congestion. Traffic type can be assigned to each of three QoS classes and reserved bandwidth allocated. The Vigor2133Vac model also has a “VoIP QoS” feature to guarantee priority for VoIP calls. This ensures good call quality even when Internet bandwidth is limited.

In addition, the bandwidth usage of each LAN client can be managed via the Session Limit and Bandwidth Limit features. “Smart Bandwidth Limit” allows bandwidth limits to be applied only to PCs running inappropriate applications such as P2P downloads.

The Vigor2133 series have 4 x Gigabit LAN ports and support for up to 30,000 NAT sessions.

Port-based and 802.1q tagged VLANs are also featured. Port based VLANs allow the assignment of a VLAN and an IP subnet to each of the router’s LAN ports. 802.1q tagged VLANs can extend up to 8 VLANs and four IP subnets to an attached switch.

The Vigor2133 series have powerful firewall features including an object-oriented SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall, DoS (Denial of Services), CSM (Content Security Management) and WCF (Web Content Filter).

The Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) Firewall monitors incoming and outgoing packets at layer 3 (OSI model) and passes or blocks data packets based on the configuration.

The DoS feature protects the network against unwanted access requests from DoS attacks.

CSM enables network administrators to control and manage IM (Instant Messenger) and P2P (Peer-to-Peer) applications. For example, to keep network users from accessing inappropriate content and reducing network traffic efficiency.

WCF classifies all websites into 64 categories, allowing network administrators to select categories to protect users from undesirable website content. DrayTek uses the CYREN WCF database for its Vigor routers, and each router includes a free 30-day trial license.

The object-based firewall provides flexibility by using Objects in the firewall settings. Objects can be created and placed in groups according to IP, service type, keyword, file extension and so on. This allows a filter rule to be applied to many IP addresses, reducing the number of firewall filters required. In addition, these objects and groups can be reused for other firewall settings, resulting in a reduction in the amount of work required to create multiple firewall rules.

Firewall rules can also be applied to a Time Schedule to control access to the Internet or network services according to predetermined time slots. Up to 4-time schedules can be applied to each firewall filter rule. For example, social media can be restricted during work hours but allowed outside work hours in a company.

The Vigor2133 series routers allow up to 2 concurrent VPN connections, including 2 x SSL-VPN tunnels. LAN-to-LAN VPN connections between local networks and the main office allow all hosts at a remote network to access the main office network without requiring individual dial-up VPN connections.

The Vigor2133 series can also act as VPN servers, allowing up to two dial-in VPN connections.

Supported VPN protocols include PPTP, L2TP, IPsec, IKEv2, L2TP over IPSec, and SSL-VPN.
SSL technology allows secure Web encryption such as used for on-line banking. The Vigor2133 series supports SSL-VPNs in Full Tunnel mode or Proxy mode.

The Vigor2133 series support Central AP Management (APM) with a console to auto-configure and manage up to 2 directly connected (via LAN cables) Draytek wireless Access Points, including the VigorAP 800, VigorAP 810, VigorAP 900 & VigorAP 910C.

The Dashboard feature displays statuses such as traffic and the number of attached stations of all attached Access Points.

With Auto Provisioning enabled on the attached Access Points, WLAN profiles can be created and applied to selected Access Points from the central console.

The AP Maintenance feature allows a number of actions to be programmed on selected Access Points, including Configuration Backup and Restore, Firmware Upgrade, Remote Reboot and Factory Reset.

The connected Access Points can also be displayed on a map or floor plan to show their locations with basic descriptions. Other features include Traffic Graph, Rogue AP detection, Event Log, Total Traffic, Station number and Access Point load balancing.

The Vigor2133 series include a number of management options to provide both local and remote access to monitor and manage the router.

The TR-069 feature integrates with the VigorACS 2 centralised management system. This can be used to allow system integrators or network administrators to configure, monitor and manage the Vigor2133 series remotely from the comfort of their offices or homes. It can also be used to Auto-Provision the Vigor2133 series remotely by sending configuration data to the router. The 3 wizards: Configuration Wizard, VPN Wizard and Firmware Upgrade Wizard, allow network administrators to quickly and easily carry out complex tasks.

Alarm & Log Management features ensure real time notifications and alerts to specified phone numbers or email accounts to report any faults or issues with connected CPEs.
A number of diagnostic functions, including a Data Flow Monitor, a Traffic Graph and a Syslog Explorer, are also available to allow network administrators to monitor and troubleshoot any network issues.

Like all Vigor routers, the Vigor2133 series support several management options including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH, Telnet and SNMP.
