DrayTek Vigor 2865 Multi-WAN VDSL Router with Advanced VPN

The Vigor 2865 combines VDSL and Ethernet WAN connectivity with enterprise-grade VPN, firewall, and bandwidth management capabilities. Designed for small to medium businesses requiring reliable, high-performance networking with failover protection.

Dual-WAN Load Balancing and Failover

Connect via the integrated VDSL modem for Superfast Fibre, or use Ethernet WAN for VirginMedia Cable and FTTP connections. Hardware acceleration delivers up to 950Mbps per-WAN throughput while maintaining full feature functionality. Load balancing distributes traffic across multiple connections, while automatic failover ensures continuous connectivity if one WAN fails.

High-Performance VPN for Business

Standard IPsec VPN throughput reaches 300Mbps, with Hardware Acceleration boosting performance to 800Mbps for 16 tunnels. Support for up to 50 concurrent VPN tunnels makes the Vigor 2865 ideal for connecting multiple branch offices, remote sites, and teleworkers. The VPN Matcher service enables VPN connections even from behind NAT or Carrier-Grade NAT, solving connectivity challenges with 4G and CG-NAT environments.

SSL VPN supports 16 active tunnels using SSL/TLS encryption. Remote workers connect easily using the free Smart VPN Client app available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices.

6 Gigabit Ports with VLAN Support

Five dedicated LAN ports plus one flexible LAN/WAN port provide wired connectivity for computers, servers, and NAS devices. Manage up to 8 separate networks with Multiple LAN subnets and VLANs, each with independent Content Filtering, Firewall, Quality of Service, and Route Policy settings. Full 802.1Q VLAN tagging enables integration with DrayTek VigorSwitch devices for expanded network capacity.

Comprehensive Security Features

The object-based firewall protects against DoS attacks, IP-based threats, and unauthorized access across Wireless, Ethernet, and VPN connections. Dual-Stack IPv4/IPv6 support ensures compatibility with modern networks. DNS-based content filtering blocks restricted websites, file types, and applications with per-user, per-device, or universal restrictions on customizable time schedules. HTTPS/SSL filtering blocks encrypted URLs that standard routers cannot filter. GlobalView service provides category-based blocking with continuous updates (30-day trial included).

High Availability and Central Management

Hardware Failover with High Availability mode uses primary and secondary routers for redundancy. Automatic switchover maintains Internet, routing, and VPN connectivity without intervention. Config Sync ensures both units remain synchronized. Compatible with VigorACS central management platform for visibility, control, and reporting across entire DrayTek deployments.

Traffic Management

App QoS prioritizes latency-sensitive applications like Zoom and Skype using 4 separate queues. Support for 802.1p and DSCP packet tagging enables VoIP prioritization. Auto Voice VLAN automatically prioritizes VoIP calls. Bandwidth Limit controls throughput for individual clients, IP groups, or entire subnets.

Additional Features

Free DrayDDNS hostname (myrouter.drayddns.com) automatically updates with IP changes for easy remote access. LetsEncrypt SSL/TLS certificate automation for SSL VPN and services. Central management of connected DrayTek VigorAP access points and VigorSwitch devices from the router interface.
