it is definately faster to link up with a VPN and for file sharing through it...much faster than my Netgear, nearly twice as quick.
A decent router has been on my 'maybe' list for a while. Still using the thing BT gave me free
Works ok after a hour or so undoing all the **** BT did to it
I take it you read my review, dangel?
Mine's now running on an 8Mbps line, no trouble.
As for what Zak33 says about using IE to configure it, the 2800's firmware seems fine with Firefox, so I guess it's just the legacy Drayteks that have that issue.

I did indeed - but it's been floating around my mind for a long time as they get mentioned a fair bit on here. I suppose it's not that expensive for all that is does - and if it does it solidly i'll be a happy chap

Lol thanks a lot for that - she's warmed to the idea when i pointed out how flaky our current router is (netgear)Some backup for you vs the wife dangel...
GOOD CHOICE...IN FACT, EXCELLENT CHOICE...COULDN'T HAVE DONE BETTER MYSELF!!!!
Now that's over with...I bought a 2800VG last week...I've been very impressed with it on the whole...having a few issues with updating the firmware atm...but other than that niggle, it's been rock solid, the VPN is 10x better than the old router that managed it, and whether it's just me, but it seems a lot faster at doing everything...browsing the web, and transferring files across the network...strange, but it certainly seems that way

Well that wasn't fun to setup - good job i had the internet via the old router to find out how to get the blinking ADSL up and running. Otherwise very good tho and everything 'just works' without random power off/rebooting rubbish.

A mate of mine got one of these after having trouble with a netgear and a linksys and swears it's the best £150 he ever spent (and he is a tight git).
I think I will have to get the credit card out and just go for it
Which bit did you get stuck on ?
When i did it, it pretty much set itself up !
Mine took forever to connect, due to the Modulation not auto-sensing GMDT, but after manually setting it to that...all was good.
Still having problems updating the firmware...and Draytek seem to think it may be the router, but other than that, ~340hours uptime so far...
mine too.
Draytek do recommend manually setting this, I believe. Perhaps the only caveat in the setup process is that while it's hella easy to setup, it is still useful to peruse the manual.

Couldn't have said it better myself...it feels weird reading this thing that you call a "manual" though

....and there was my problem too - unecessary as it ought to either autodetect it or use it as a default for the UK firmware. Updating firmware felt a bit 'clunky' too (mine was very much out of data) having to do one thing on the router and then use a program on your pc to forward it to the router. It failed the first time and went ok the second. I've had 3 netgears and one linksys and all were far easier to get ADSL up. Without net access you're somewhat stumped for help

What, does your Draytek not have a backup dial-up connection?/reaches for the Supra Express 56k modem
