Product Information

Nearby Mesh Nodes can connect to an Ethernet Mesh Node instead of another Wireless Node to reduce the 'hops' between Nodes. DrayTek VigorSwitch switches can be provisioned and managed through the router with DrayTek’s Central Switch Management system, which allows you to: Mesh Root support with DrayTek VigorAP Mesh Nodes* – New! (requires f/w 4.3.0, available in Q2 2021) The Vigor2865ax is a relatively affordable business VDSL modem router, and combines a useful array of features for small to growing businesses. It has a decent amount of flexibility and future-proofing to scale with a business' needs, as well as plenty of options for more advanced functionality such as SD-WAN support. Of course such a setup can start to become unwieldy to manage – often long before hitting a high number of network devices. While you can use existing TR-069 management software options, DrayTek has a paid server-based TR-069 solution called VigorACS. The latest version, VigorACS 3, enables the DrayTek SD-WAN solution on compatible hardware, which includes the Vigor2865 series. This is a great inclusion, as SD-WAN is a fantastic option for businesses with remote workers who need secure, easily configurable access to the company network while at home or on the road.

DrayTek VigorSwitch switches can be provisioned and managed through the router with DrayTek’s Central Switch Management system, which allows you to: It’s hard to fault the Vigor2865ax from a technical perspective, and most of our quibbles are really a wishlist of extra features that would inevitably drive up the price. It’s not perfect, but does what it says on the box with little fuss, at an appropriate price. For those businesses who can make use of its unique set of features, the Vigor2865ax is a great choice. Bandwidth will be reserved for high-priority classes, and can be used by low-priority classes when available. Ensure that the Local Network IP details are correct, these are pre-set and should not need changing generally but if the local router has multiple subnets, this could be changed to the subnet that will be used for the VPN tunnelThe specific featureset won’t appeal to all businesses, but DrayTek have done a good job at including what’s important without overdoing it. The larger 2865 series also makes it very easy to get the core modem router functionality without extras such as Wi-Fi. The availability of online support, documentation and demos is above average, and is a valuable addition. One of the key features of the Vigor routers for business use is the ability to manage a wider network made up of DrayTek devices. The 2865 series can control 20 Vigor wireless access points (seven in a mesh network) and 10 Vigor switches right from the inbuilt interface. In any problem state, it's usually best to use a wired (RJ45/Ethernet) connection rather than wireless. If you cannot access the web interface of your Vigor router, here are some possible causes:

Prevent one device using all the bandwidth with bandwidth limit policy, session limit policy, and QoS settings. To begin setting up the router that will be establishing the Internet connection, connect a network cable from the ONT's Ethernet ports into the DrayTek router's Ethernet WAN port: DrayTek Router Vigor2865 LTE Series is a VDSL2 35b/ADSL2+ firewall router with embedded 4G/LTE connectivity, making it ideal for SMB/Branch office where Internet connection is the core of business continuity, or new business locations thatVigor2962 is a high-performance and dynamic firewall router with configurable WAN/LAN ports. With the selection of 2.5GbE port, 1GbE Fiber port, and 2 of 1GbE ports, users can set 2 of the ports as WAN for load balancing/failover purposes and enjoy overall 2.2Gbps NAT throughput. VigorAPs set up as Mesh Nodes do not need to be configured, they're managed by the Mesh Root once they've been 'adopted' into the Mesh network. For most Fibre networks in the UK & Ireland, no VLAN tag is required for Internet connecitivity on the Vigor 2927 router. For example with the Openreach Fibre network. If VLAN tags are used by the ISP, they are usually handled automatically by the ISP supplied ONT. DrayTek’s Vigor 2865 series Multi-WAN Firewall VPN routers are ideal for Superfast VDSL Broadband and Ethernet-based FTTP Fibre Broadband. With

The mesh nodes status and other information can be viewed via the DrayTek Wireless App or the Mesh Root's Web Interface. Make sure the WAN is enabled and is set to Always On rather than in Failover mode, so that the WAN interface will be utilised.

Compact and white, the Vigor2865ax hides a lot of functionality under an unassuming shell.

The configuration is otherwise the same.
