Introducing the DrayTek Vigor 2927 series

01 October 2020

Business class networking solutions manufacturer DrayTek has introduced the Vigor 2927 series, a new line of routers offering dual Gigabit WAN throughput, enhanced broadband failover, wireless and firewall VPN features - good for small business, home offices and remote workers.

The DrayTek Vigor 2927 series will help users make the most of fast, fibre-to-the-premise (FTTP) broadband connections and includes many features for security, segmenting users, load balancing, content filtering, Quality of Service and remote management.

“Building on the success of the Vigor 2926 and 2925 series, DrayTek UK/IRE is excited to offer new routers for small offices and demanding home offices,” stated Julian Hubble, DrayTek sales director. “The Vigor 2927 delivers the reliability and flexibility you expect in a DrayTek product, all with a total NAT throughput of 1.8 Gbps or 950Mbps per-WAN.”

For small businesses - connecting multiple sites or remote workers - the Vigor 2927 series supports up to 50 concurrently active VPN tunnels, with fast and secure IPsec VPN tunnels.

Home office users can address the challenges of sharing bandwidth with multiple household members with the DrayTek App QoS. This application based Quality of Service simplifies setup significantly by allowing users to select which latency-sensitive applications they wish to prioritise, such as Zoom and Skype. Voice traffic (VoIP) is automatically prioritised through the router without additional configuration.

With multiple LAN subnets and VLANs, the Vigor 2927 can manage up to eight separate networks. Each network can have its own Content Filtering, Firewall, Quality of Service and Route Policy.

For users who need fast and efficient wireless networking to computers and devices, the Vigor 2927 ‘ac’ models has AC1300 Dual-Band wireless and can also be used as a Mesh Root within a DrayTek Mesh wireless system.

DrayTek offers superior broadband failover options. The Vigor 2927 'L' models, with two SIM slots, good when connectivity is mission critical. In the event of an ISP service interruption, the router can switch to a mobile broadband connection using one of the two SIMs

The Vigor 2927 series is compatible with DrayTek’s cloud-based centralised management platform, VigorACS, which provides a cost-effective full management system for your entire network across multiple sites. The Vigor 2927 can also manage DrayTek VigorAP access points and VigorSwitch switches connected locally to the router.
