DrayTek Vigor 2928 Wired Router

The Vigor 2928 is a high-performance multi-gigabit business router for small-to-medium businesses, branch offices and high-bandwidth environments. Its port mix looks forward: one 10Gb SFP+ LAN port, one 2.5GbE RJ-45 port and three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, plus two USB 2.0 ports — ready for fibre-based connections that leave ordinary Gigabit routers behind.

Multi-WAN support with load balancing and failover spans fibre, Ethernet and USB mobile broadband, while up to 50 concurrent VPN tunnels and IPsec throughput of up to 430 Mbps give remote workers a genuinely secure connection. As the network hub, it centrally manages up to 20 VigorAP access points and up to 10 VigorSwitch units such as the VigorSwitch G2282X, or the whole estate can run under VigorACS.

Frequently asked questions

What makes it multi-gigabit?

The WAN/LAN port mix: a 10Gb SFP+ port for fibre, a 2.5GbE RJ-45 port and three Gigabit ports. That lets the router sit at the centre of a network that is faster than plain Gigabit end to end.

How many VPN users can it support?

Up to 50 concurrent VPN tunnels, with IPsec throughput of up to 430 Mbps — comfortable headroom for a remote-working SME or branch office.

Can it manage my access points and switches?

Yes — up to 20 VigorAP wireless access points and up to 10 VigorSwitch network switches can be managed through the router, and VigorACS provides centralised multi-site management.

Does it have Wi-Fi or a DSL modem?

No — the 2928 is a wired router for fibre and Ethernet connections. Add VigorAP access points for wireless, and use USB mobile broadband for backup.
