Just upgraded to the DrayTek Vigor 2927AX from my ancient 2860AC, and here's the real tea ☕
First off - dual WAN works like a charm! Finally putting my FTTP connection to good use. Though fair warning: you'll sacrifice a LAN port for that second WAN connection. Priorities, right?
The WiFi 6 is... fine? My devices aren't exactly bleeding-edge, so the improvement feels more like going from 'good' to 'slightly better good'. Future-proofing was my main reason anyway.
Big shoutout to DrayTek for letting me transfer my old configs! Saved me from total network meltdown when switching routers. IP reservation transfer = lifesaver.
Now the not-so-great: Throughput claims feel... optimistic. Getting about 700Mb/s on my gigabit line when the ISP router hits 940Mb/s. Hardware acceleration seems to be on permanent vacation in my setup.
Pro tip: If you're running IoT devices, this router shines with client isolation and VLANs. But maybe wait for firmware updates - had some crashing issues until I installed a release candidate.
Final verdict? It's a workhorse that gets the job done, but don't expect miracles. If you can wait, might be worth seeing if they release a version with faster WAN ports soon.
