Overview This product is now EOL (discontinued) - Replaced by the Vigor 2862 series Vigor 2860 Series VDSL/ADSL Router Firewall A Mesh node which is connected to Ethernet and allows Wireless Clients or Other Mesh nodes to connect to it. IPsec acceleration is available on DrayTek's SME routers such as the Vigor 2865, Vigor 2866 and Vigor 2927. It can be enabled to improve LAN to LAN IPsec VPN performance.
These results show that the router is able to achieve excellent 4G speeds in areas with a strong cellular signal, and can still perform well in an area where a mobile phone won’t work at all. The testing also confirmed that the ability to use third-party, high-gain antennas is very useful, and can give a noticeable improvement in areas with poor signal. Final verdict The port that will be opened to the Internet, this can be the same as the End Port if opening a single port entry i.e. 443 to 443 opens port 443 only The Mesh Root is configured through the Web interface, or with the DrayTek Wireless app to operate as a Mesh Root, which can then add in any Mesh Nodes.Make sure that the Ethernet cable being used is of good quality and has all 8 wires. The [Dashboard] should show the Ethernet WAN port in green to indicate it's connected at Gigabit speed. If it's orange, speeds will be limited to 100Mbps. The 2862Lac had no problem opening and maintaining stable VPN connections during our 4G tests, or using its failover and load balancing features to maintain and manage (respectively) an internet connection.
N/A - Not Applicable. This feature or limitation is not applicable to, and does not affect this model. Feature affecting Hardware Acceleration Nearby Mesh Nodes can connect to an Ethernet Mesh Node instead of another Wireless Node to reduce the 'hops' between Nodes. In this example, the WAN1 and LTE Quality of Service is enabled while WAN2's QoS is disabled. This allows WAN2 to give full performance while WAN1 and the LTE WAN can still use QoS. A few ISPs / networks do require a tag however, CityFibre for example needs tag 911 set on the router. Hardware Accelerated sessions are not counted by the Traffic Graph, in the [Diagnostics] > [Traffic Graph] menu, for the WAN interfaces that are using Hardware Acceleration. Traffic Graph will still work for WAN interfaces the Hardware Acceleration does not apply to, such as a connected USB 3G/4G modem. Setting Recommendation of "Available"
A bargain for SMBs that want a solid mix of security measures and top-notch WAN redundancy options
In the sections following the table, each of these settings is explained in detail, demonstrating how to optimise these where needed. If the decision of which band to connect to is made by the client(s) instead of the router, this can lead to more clients connecting to the 2.4GHz band, which suffers more significantly from congestion, caused by other wireless networks and other wireless systems such as Bluetooth that use the 2.4GHz band. As we mentioned above, the Vigor2862Lac is the top-specced model in the series, meaning it has the most features – however that doesn't mean it has all of them, and other models in the range do include certain features that aren't found here. It’s therefore a good idea to take a look at the entire series and see which model best suits your specific requirements.
