Description

The Vigor2136 of Draytek is a router, a device that connects other devices (e.g. computer, mobile, television) either wirelessly or with a cable, and shares internet access. It needs to be connected to a modem to access the internet. The device has the ability to configure a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet, giving us the ability to appear geographically in another country and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor's address instead of our own. This provides us with anonymity and access to content with geographic restrictions. VPN services are usually paid with a subscription.

With MAC address filtering, it allows specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, excluding any device with a MAC address that has not been defined as acceptable.

Type
Router

Type

The devices we encounter are standalone routers, routers with built-in modems, and mobile routers.

A router requires a separate modem and distributes the connection to multiple devices via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but cannot connect directly to the internet. A modem/router combines a modem and router in one device, connects directly to the internet provider, and distributes the connection to the local network. A mobile router, on the other hand, uses a SIM card and mobile data to create a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, ideal for use outside the home or in areas without a fixed connection.

Router

Plain router (without modem). The router is a device to which other devices (e.g. computer, mobile, TV) connect either wirelessly or with a cable, and it shares internet access with them. It receives internet access through a separate device called a modem.
Portable Hotspot
No

Portable Hotspot

Mobile routers with built-in battery so you can use them anywhere.

These mobile routers have a SIM card slot for wireless internet access through 3G/4G mobile networks.

Connectivity

Wireless network
Yes

Wireless network

The device has a wireless network to which we can connect wireless devices that support it. In case it doesn't, the connection can only be made through an ethernet cable.
Ethernet LAN connections
3

Ethernet LAN connections

The number of ethernet ports that the device has for direct wired device connections. Most routers offer 4 ports.
USB 2.0 connections
2

USB 2.0 connections

The device has a USB 2.0 port, which is an older version of USB with slower data transfer speeds (480Mbit/s) compared to newer versions, but still suitable for typical use (e.g. connecting a printer).

2. Depending on the device, the USB port can also be used to connect other devices so that all other devices connected to the home network can access them.
USB 3.0 connections
-

USB 3.0 connections

The device features a modern USB 3.0 port that offers faster data transfer (5 Gbit/s) compared to USB 2.0 but remains compatible with older versions. Depending on the device, the USB port can be used to connect other devices so that all other devices connected to the home network have access to them (e.g. USB stick, external hard drive, etc.).
ISDN Connection
No
SIM slot
No

SIM slot

The device has a SIM card slot for internet connection through a mobile network. The SIM card should have an active data plan.

Security

Firewall
-

Firewall

Protection mechanisms available on the device.

The NAT "hides" the addresses of all devices on your local network behind a unique address, while SPI controls data traffic for patterns of known attack types (e.g. DDoS). They can be used simultaneously.
Encryption Protocols
-

Encryption Protocols

The security protocols supported by the device for encrypting data transmitted wirelessly and protecting against third-party connections to your network.

The first protocol was WEP, which was replaced by WPA, which in turn evolves into generations with each generation having a corporate and home version. Anything older than WPA2 is not considered secure.

It is recommended that the device support at least WPA2-Personal (PSK) for home use.
MAC Address Filtering
Yes

MAC Address Filtering

MAC (media access control) address filtering is the ability of a device to allow specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, while excluding any device with a MAC address that has not been defined as acceptable.

Extras

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Yes

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The device has the ability to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. 2. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet. This way, we can give the impression that we are geographically located in another country and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor's address, not ours. 3. This provides us with anonymity and access to content with geographic restrictions (e.g. some YouTube videos are only available in certain countries, the Netflix catalog is different depending on the country, etc.). 4. VPN services are usually paid for by subscription.
VoIP
No
Mesh
No

Mesh

It is a complete home WiFi system with multiple access points designed to eliminate dead zones and provide seamless WiFi throughout your home with higher speeds and more devices.

    Advantages:
    1) Very stable for corporate use.
    You set it up, put it in place, and forget about it.
    .
    Disadvantages:
    1) It has terrible QoS management for bufferbloat.
    2) It has terribly high ping in games (+20ms) for no apparent reason.
    3) It does not show you the CLI commands of your setup, which means you cannot replicate it on another machine or even check what changes have been made since the last time you tweaked something (this is very important because you are always left wondering).
    4) You cannot do everything from the CLI (e.g., Wake-On-Lan), so to automate your tasks, you have to use the GUI.
    5) It does not have many capabilities if you want to do complex things, e.g., set up a softphone on Windows when you have FTTH from Nova.
    .
    I bought it for around €150 and I still regret it.
    .
    In the end, I bought the MikroTik RB5009UG for €220, which is a more powerful device and does everything correctly (except for broadcast relay between different VLANs, but the 2136 didn't do that either).
    It's harder to set up, but if you can't do it yourself, it's worth paying a technician €50 to set it up for you.
