The DrayTek Vigor 2110n wireless N router is designed to be the ideal cable-broadband sharing and firewall device for the SoHo (Small Office / Home) user. It combines compatibility with the latest cable modem connections (such as Virginmedia) and other Ethernet fed Internet connections together with performance, features and price to offer an attractive, relible and easy-to-use product, with the pedigree and thoughtful design DrayTek are renowned for. Outgoing VPN makes the Vigor 2110n ideal for your home office and/or VPN link to your main office.
A new style case for this range provides stylish looks and space saving design, allowing upright desk usage or wall-mounting. Cleverly conceived cable entry points also minimise the overall size of the unit. The Vigor 2110n isn't just for cable-modem lines; you can instead use a 3G modem from any of the main carriers (Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone etc.) for Internet connectivity instead of a cable-modem. See the '3G' section below for more information.
Wireless BroadbandThe Vigor 2110n router with built-in Wireless LAN allows you to use your wireless equipped computers or laptops wirelessly, without needing an Ethernet cable back to the router; this provides convenience and mobility in your home or office. By adding an additional Vigor 2110n, you can expand the wireless range using WDS (in repeater mode). For increased range/coverage, BroadbandBuyer have a range of directional aerials.

3G Data Features (Firmware update now available*)All major mobile phone networks within Europe now support '3G data'; this uses the latest 3G standard for high-speed data connections to the internet in addition to regular phone calls. The latest 'HSDPA' version provides speeds up to 7.2Mb/s download, which is comparable with fixed broadband lines but with added flexibility, mobility and convenience.
All of the networks supply USB 3G modems; these are typically available 'free' on most monthly data contracts, or to buy on PAYG ('Pay as You Go') packages. In addition, many 3G phone handsets also have a 'modem' facility via a USB cable and can also be used with the DrayTek routers. The 3G USB modem connects directly into a DrayTek router/firewall and provides shared Internet connectivity to all PCs and other devices on your network, including wireless laptops.
The Vigor 2110n offers support for 3G modem access to the Internet instead of using a cable-modem. That's ideal for temporary installation, locations where ADSL/cable isn't available or a cheaper alterative to cable-modems (depending on your usage and contract/package). Check with your chosen network provider for their current contractsd or PAYG schemes, as well as the model of USB modem they would supply you with.
The Vigor 2110n 3G modem setup is ideal for:
Providing lower cost broadband than a fixed line
Areas without fixed line broadband access
Compatible with a wide range of 3G phones
Temporary Locations
Mobile Homes
Locations on the move - coaches, trains
Fairgrounds & temporary exhibitions
Outdoor locations (the router and modem itself must be indoors!)
