Review · Router with built-in VDSL2 modem
Verdict
The DrayTek Vigor 2750Vn suits small businesses wanting one box with a built-in BT VDSL2 modem, VPN and fast 5GHz Wi-Fi, but BT lines need setting up by hand.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about DrayTek Vigor 2750

  • Comprehensive feature set for small businesses, including VPN support and 3G modem backup
  • Highly reliable, rock-solid performance with stable wireless and no line drops
  • Excellent documentation and extensive tools for network control
  • Integrated VDSL2 modem, reducing the need for separate devices
  • Lower power consumption (approximately 2W) compared to many competitors

What customers don't like about DrayTek Vigor 2750

  • Considered expensive compared to basic ADSL or Ethernet routers
  • The management user interface is often described as complex, unattractive, or 'a mess'
  • Outdated Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) technology with lower speeds (300 Mb/s) compared to modern standards
  • More difficult to set up for non-technical users due to the density of options
  • Bulkier design, weighing significantly more than some alternative consumer routers

Verdict

The DrayTek Vigor 2750 is a legacy VDSL2 router and firewall designed for SoHo users, featuring an integrated VDSL2 WAN port (RJ11) and a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch for high-speed wired connectivity. Key specifications include 802.11n Wi-Fi at 300 Mbps, support for up to 15,000 simultaneous NAT sessions, and two USB ports that enable 3G/4G failover, printer sharing, or NAS functionality. Its primary pros are its robust security suite—comprising SPI, DoS prevention, and two dial-out VPN tunnels—alongside dual-band Wi-Fi support and IPv6 compatibility. However, significant cons include the lack of simultaneous dual-band operation, requiring users to manually choose between 2.4GHz or 5GHz, and its status as a legacy product which lacks modern Wi-Fi 6 standards and higher-speed VDSL profiles found in newer models.
