10-Gigabit High-Speed Multi-WAN Wi-Fi 7 (be model) Security VPN Routers

Apart from the Gigabit Ethernet WAN port (P1) for broadband services that use an Ethernet interface (such as UFB in New Zealand or FTTP, FTTC, HFC, Satellite, and Fixed Wireless in Australia), all models feature a triple-combo port with two additional WAN options: a 10GbE SFP+ WAN slot (P2), a 10GbE Ethernet WAN/LAN port (P3), and a 10GbE SFP+ LAN slot (P4). Any two of these three ports can be used simultaneously, and port P3 can also be configured as a high-speed LAN port when not serving as the WAN. The 2.5GbE port (P5) can also be used as either a LAN or WAN interface. 4G LTE connectivity is also featured (via an attached 4G USB modem), and Wireless WAN (be model); all WAN interfaces can be configured for use in Load Balance mode or Failover mode.

The Vigor2928be features 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7, BE7200) with 4×4 MIMO (1376 Mbps for the 2.4 GHz band and 5765 Mbps for the 5 GHz band).

Equipped with Object-based SPI Firewall, Content Security Management (CSM), URL/IP Reputation and Port Knocking, IPv6, 50 simultaneous IPsec/OpenVPN/WireGuard VPN tunnels, Tag-based VLAN, multiple subnets and a set of traffic management features, these routers are an excellent choice for SMB.

Central Management features provide a centralised console to manage networks, including Virtual AP Controller to configure and manage up to 20 DrayTek wireless Access Points, and Virtual Switch Controller to configure and manage up to 10 DrayTek switches.

These routers can be mounted using a 1RU rack-mount bracket (DR101) on a standard 19” rack or cabinet.
