Wired Router DrayTek Vigor2765

The DrayTek Vigor2765 is a wired Gigabit router with an integrated VDSL2 35b supervectoring modem, designed for professional and small‑office environments. It combines a high‑speed DSL modem, firewall and VPN gateway in one device and offers four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, with one port configurable as a backup WAN. Models in the series may include built‑in 11ac Wave 2 Wi‑Fi and VoIP gateway functions.

Advantages

The Vigor2765 supports VDSL2 profile 35b supervectoring for higher DSL throughput and includes comprehensive VPN features for secure LAN‑to‑LAN and remote access connections, including a VPN matcher for devices behind NAT. It provides flexible bandwidth management and QoS to prevent a single device from consuming all available bandwidth, built‑in firewall and content filtering by keyword or category, and a free DrayDDNS service for fixed hostname access. The router can also act as a wireless controller to centrally manage compatible VigorAP access points.

Suitable for

• Small and medium offices requiring a combined VDSL modem and Gigabit router
• Sites needing secure VPN tunnels for remote workers and branch offices
• Environments with VoIP systems that need bandwidth reservation and port forwarding
• Deployments that require central wireless AP management and captive‑portal hotspot

How to use

Connect the VDSL line to the integrated modem and plug LAN devices into the Gigabit Ethernet ports. If required, configure one LAN port to act as a backup WAN via the router’s web interface. Use the setup wizard or manual configuration to create VPN tunnels, configure firewall and content filter rules, and set QoS or bandwidth limits to prioritise traffic. For VoIP, enable automatic port forwarding and reserve bandwidth for voice traffic. If managing wireless access points, register VigorAP devices with the router to enable centralized configuration and monitoring.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use Cat5e or better Ethernet cabling, keep firmware updated to the latest stable release, and configure bandwidth and QoS settings according to typical traffic patterns to ensure VoIP and VPN stability.
