What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.7 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about DrayTek Vigor 2110N

  • Rock-solid reliability and stability even for 10+ years of use
  • Comprehensive feature set including advanced QoS, VPN support, and object-based firewall
  • Solid wireless performance and range for its hardware generation (802.11n)
  • Versatile connectivity options including support for 3G USB modems for failover
  • Strong long-term support with firmware updates provided long after product release
  • Detailed and helpful technical manuals for advanced configuration

What customers don't like about DrayTek Vigor 2110N

  • Outdated Wi-Fi standards (limited to 802.11n on 2.4GHz) compared to modern routers
  • Complex, text-heavy user interface that is not beginner-friendly
  • Lack of automated setup utilities, requiring manual configuration of most settings
  • Recent user reports indicate a decline in the quality of direct technical support
  • Boring, utilitarian design compared to modern consumer-grade mesh systems
  • Relatively high price point at launch for its specific performance tier

Verdict

The DrayTek Vigor 2110N is a SoHo broadband router featuring an Ethernet WAN port for cable or fiber connections, 802.11n wireless support with three external antennas, and a built-in 4-port 10/100 Ethernet switch. It distinguishes itself with advanced security features like an object-based SPI firewall, DoS protection, and a USB port that supports 3G modem failover or NAS storage. Main pros include its high WAN throughput of up to 95Mb/s, IPv6 readiness, and extensive management options like QoS and content filtering. However, its downsides include a lack of Gigabit LAN ports, no 5GHz Wi-Fi band, and some users reporting reliability issues with DNS and 802.11n stability on older firmware.
