Draytek Vigor 2865 VDSL and Ethernet Router with AC1300 Wi-Fi and built-in LTE modem

The Vigor 2865Lac packs the whole connectivity toolkit into one unit: a VDSL2 35b/ADSL2+ security firewall router with AC1300 (802.11ac Wave 2) Wi-Fi and a built-in LTE modem. For a small site that wants broadband, wireless and mobile backup without a stack of separate boxes, this is the straightforward answer.

The integrated DSL modem handles the common ADSL and VDSL variants, including profile 35b supervectoring, while a Gigabit Ethernet WAN port can load-share or stand by as a failover path — and the LTE modem adds a third, independent route to the internet. Extend the wired LAN with a VigorSwitch G1080 or push Wi-Fi deeper into the building with a VigorAP 912C.

Key features

• Built-in LTE modem — mobile broadband as a backup or independent connection, with two detachable LTE antennas included.
• AC1300 Wi-Fi built in — 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless from the router itself, no separate AP needed.
• Integrated VDSL2 35b/ADSL2+ modem — terminates FTTC and ADSL lines directly, including 35b supervectoring.
• Gigabit Ethernet WAN — share the load with the DSL line or use it for failover.
• Security firewall built in — business-grade protection at the edge.
• USB mobile broadband option — the series also accepts 3G/4G/LTE USB modems for further flexibility.

Frequently asked questions

What does the L in 2865Lac mean?

It denotes the built-in LTE modem. Mobile broadband can act as a backup connection if the fixed line fails, or serve as the connection in its own right — two detachable LTE antennas ship in the box.

Do I need a separate modem for my broadband line?

No — the VDSL2/ADSL2+ modem is integrated and supports profile 35b supervectoring, so the DSL line connects directly.

What wireless does it provide?

AC1300 dual-band 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi, using the two included Wi-Fi antennas. If you need Wi-Fi 6, look at the Vigor 2865Lax-5G instead.

Can I still add a wired backup line?

Yes — the Gigabit Ethernet WAN port takes a second broadband feed for load sharing or failover, on top of the LTE fallback.
