Draytek routers are very good but not without problems.
I have a currently-spare 2600Gi. Great until I put in the latest firmware. Now, it goes totally dead if I config the wifi for SSID DISabled. They obviously haven't tested that. Also, WPA/PSK selects "WPA2 only". Obviously they haven't tested that, either. Also, the new firmware has a broken firmware upgrade function, so I can't downgrade either.....
I also have a couple of 2900Gi ones - these use the external modem. Thousands of features, most of which work and the rest don't, or don't quite. The traffic filters have various obscure bugs, the VPN works on PPTP but doesn't handle IPSEC for remote callers. The remote config port (443) is always open even if you disable the feature - this is something which is known in the hacking underworld; the fix is to set up NAT so that all packets sent to 443 are forwarded to an unused IP. One can spend weeks on this stuff....
Obviously there is no support. They have a forum on
www.seg.co.uk but nobody with much knowledge ever posts on it, except by accident.
There's no free lunch in this business. All the consumer gear works in the most common configurations, and the rest .... if it doesn't you chuck it in the bin, write off the £60 and try another box.
Probably the only stuff that works as it should is from Cisco et al but then you need a degree in gobbledygook (called the "Cisco certified engineer") to set it up. I had Cisco routers for years, running nonstop.
