Greetings Geek-Lings!

I posted a run down on our famous DrayTek 2820VN yesterday at Overclockers, so I figured I’d replicate here for your reading pleasure.

————–

1. The unit supports ADSL1/2/2+.
2. It has a 3G fall over featured (via usb) so if you internet goes down, you plug in a 3G/NextG usb dongle and keep your interwebs up!
3. It supports VoIP, so you can save loads on phone calls to family friends, and people overseas.
4. The firewall features are fantastic for both newbies, and seasoned professionals in the security game.
5. The VPN features are outstanding, possibly the best VPN of all the units in this price range. (We sell hundreds of these units to HP staff, as they login remotely via VPN to their work).
6. Gigabit ethernet port – so run this out into a gigabit switch and you’re off and running!
7. Reliability on draytek units is second to none, their failure rates are extremely low.
8. It has built in wireless .N support. Great for wireless all around the house, and to your gaming consoles.
9. You can use the USB port as a NAS port.
10. And last but by no means least, it has a secondary WAN port. So you can connect another ADSL modem, or cable modem, or any form of connection really to this port, and setup a triple fail over redundant connection. (Including the USB port obviously)
