Sometimes you go looking for information and no matter how much you try, you can’t actually find what you are looking for. This is yet again one of those occasions.
I’ve recently had my speed increase on Virgin Media to 60Mbps and I was dismayed that I wasn’t getting the speeds I thought I would; in fact it was only 16-18Mbps.
After much testing, directly connecting to the new modem/router was giving me 60Mbps+ but my old trusty Vigor 2910VG security router was only pushing sub 20 speeds. It’s a shame, they are rock solid but just not capable of today’s speeds, that’s even after the firmware upgrade to 2.5.2.5.
Hopefully this may be of use to someone else. I can vouch for the Draytek 2920 Series though, I’ve got one on a 50Mbps business line and it’s absolutely fine.
I am having the same problem. Got upgraded to 50Mbls but only getting around 20Mbs on wan. I have also concluded that it is the router.
Thanks for the advise about the 2920 series
Aye, thanks for the info. I’m using my 2910VG for VOIP on ADSL.. Luckily my max speed is only 14MBpS although I guess sometime in the next 5 years it may get upgraded. Good to know that the 2910VG is only really useful for ADSL2 speeds.
2820: 50 meg and 15k connections (split adsl/cable unit)
2910: 15 meg and 10k connections
2930: 60 meg and 20k connections
According to Draytek..
