Description
The DrayTek Vigor2927 serves as a professional-grade networking gateway, delivering up to 1.8 Gbps NAT throughput through hardware-accelerated Dual-WAN load balancing. This router is engineered to handle high-density traffic with a capacity of 60,000 concurrent sessions, making it an ideal core for modern business infrastructures that demand both speed and reliability.
This product is for:
- Small Business Owners: Seeking a reliable gateway with an integrated firewall to protect internal assets from external threats.
- Remote Work Managers: Requiring secure, encrypted access for off-site employees via 50 dedicated VPN tunnels.
- IT Administrators: Needing a centralized platform to manage Vigor access points and switches across the entire local network.
- Retail Operations: Utilizing the Hotspot Web Portal to provide guest Wi-Fi with custom landing pages and authentication.
- Branch Offices: Needing to establish secure LAN-to-LAN connections behind NAT-heavy environments using VPN Matcher technology.
Detailed specifications:
- WAN Interface: 1x Gigabit Ethernet port and 1x configurable Gigabit WAN/LAN port.
- LAN Interface: 5x Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports for high-speed local connectivity.
- NAT Performance: 940 Mbps for single WAN; 1.8 Gbps aggregate throughput with Dual-WAN hardware acceleration.
- VPN Capacity: Supports 50 concurrent IPsec tunnels and 25 SSL/OpenVPN tunnels for secure remote work.
- Expansion: 2x USB 2.0 ports for 4G LTE modems, external storage, or network printers.
The Vigor2927 provides a seamless management experience through its object-based firewall and granular bandwidth management tools. Users can prioritize critical traffic like VoIP or Zoom calls using built-in QoS, while simultaneously restricting high-bandwidth applications to prevent network congestion. The interface is designed for deep visibility, allowing admins to monitor traffic patterns and device status in real-time.
Compared to standard consumer-grade routers, the Vigor2927 offers significantly higher session handling and professional VPN features like SSL VPN and VPN Matcher. While the base Vigor2927 model is optimized for wired environments, it shares the same powerful core as the 'ac' and 'Lac' variants, providing the same 1.8 Gbps throughput without the added cost of integrated wireless hardware for those using external access points.
Q&A:
- What is the benefit of Dual-WAN load balancing? It allows you to use two internet connections simultaneously to increase total bandwidth and provide an automatic backup if one connection fails.
- How many remote users can connect via VPN? The router supports up to 50 VPN tunnels, including 25 SSL VPN connections which are easier to set up for remote workers.
- Can I block specific websites with this router? Yes, the integrated firewall supports URL keyword filtering and web category filtering to enhance security and productivity.
- Does this model support centralized management? Yes, it can manage up to 20 VigorAPs and 10 VigorSwitches directly from the router's web interface.
- What is VPN Matcher? It is a DrayTek service that helps two routers establish a VPN connection even if they are both behind NAT or 4G LTE networks without public IP addresses.
