DrayTek Vigor 2865ax Dual-WAN ADSL+/VDSL2 WiFi 6 Broadband Router for Superfast VDSL Broadband and Ethernet-based FTTP Fibre Broadband

The Ideal DSL Router with VPN for Small Business and Remote Working

The Vigor 2865ax is a VDSL and Ethernet WAN router featuring VPN, advanced routing features, firewall, content filtering, bandwidth management and more. Connect the Vigor 2865 to Superfast Fibre with its integrated VDSL modem. Or connect to VirginMedia Cable and Ultrafast FTTP with Ethernet WAN.

Featuring high throughput with Load Balancing and Failover connectivity, suitable for handling Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) and Gigabit Internet connections. Offering up to 950Mbps per-WAN of Hardware Accelerated throughput while retaining its full feature set.

With Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 wireless, it provides ultra fast and efficient wireless coverage, to your network's computers and devices.

Wi-Fi 6 - AX3000 Performance

The Vigor 2865ax features ultra-fast and highly efficient Wi-Fi 6, or 802.11ax. OFDMA allows the router to send to more than one device at a time, splitting up wireless frequency into blocks, assigning more to users that need more e.g. video data, less to users that need less e.g. VoIP calls, then sending all at once. Which ensures all users have less of a wait, greatly improving efficiency. It allows the router to effectively and responsively, serve more wireless clients.

 

5+1 Gigabit LAN Ports with VLANs

The Vigor 2865 series provides up to 6 Gigabit LAN ports for wired links to Computers, Servers and Network Attached Storage.

Robust & Comprehensive IPv4 / IPv6 Firewall

Security is always taken seriously with DrayTek routers. The firewall protects against attacks including DoS (Denial of Service) attacks, IP-based attacks and access by unauthorised remote systems. Wireless, Ethernet and VPN are also protected by various protection systems.

DrayTek SSL VPN for Dial-In Teleworkers & LAN to LAN

The Vigor 2865 supports up to 16 active DrayTek SSL VPN tunnel connections. These are encrypted tunnels linking your teleworkers or remote DrayTek Vigor routers back to your main office using SSL/TLS technology - the same encryption that you use for secure web sites such as your bank.
