Draytek 2820 Series

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

I just heard about the release of the first of the eagerly anticipated Draytek 2820 series today with the base Vigor2820 model. These are quite unique with their built-in ADSL modem and an ethernet WAN port to allow connection of an external modem. The only other similar product with both a modem and a WAN port I know of is the Netgear DGFV338. However the 2820 series also have a USB port on the back which can be used as a print server or alternatively configured to accept a USB 3G modem (click here for a list of compatible 3G modems).

Also to be released within the next few weeks adding 802.11n wireless is the Vigor2820n model and late in March we should see the Vigor2820Vn with a built-in ATA for VoIP, but for now click here for my mini review of the Vigor2820 key features and pricing.
