![]() One of your first duties will be to set up your Internet access ( Figure 4). You can’t, however, access the admin features from a wireless client, since DrayTek feels this is too insecure. You can also limit remote access (disabled by default) to three different IP addresses. You actually get a pretty good set of management options ( Figure 3), including a command-line Telnet interface and support for SNMP. I also found some problems with button clicks not being accepted while using Mozilla 1.6b as my browser, which switching to IE 6 seemed to remedy. ![]() ![]() You instead navigate around using your browser’s Back button or the back-arrow and house icons that appear on most pages – a method that gets old real quick. While the Home screen presents links to all the major functional groups, you’ll be visiting it a lot because the 2900G’s interface doesn’t have a navigation bar that appears on each screen. Unfortunately, DrayTek has a ways to go to achieve this. Providing an understandable and easy-to-navigate interface is important in order for users to take advantage of all that the 2900G has to offer. It also comes without a default password set, so when the login authentication box pops up, all you need do is hit return and you’ll be at the Home screen ( Figure 2). The 2900G comes set to 192.168.1.1 as its factory default and with its built-in DHCP server enabled. Note the ISDN versions are not available in North America. The 2900 drops the 2900G’s wireless capabilities, while the 2900i and 2900Gi add integrated ISDN terminal adapters to their non-“i” siblings’ capabilities. There are actually four products in the 2900 series. That in itself is a first, but there are more surprises in store once you start digging into the 2900G’s wide array of features. The Vigor 2900G Broadband Security Router combines a four port VPN-endpoint router, 802.11g wireless access point and LPR-based USB print server. I’ve been in search for a consumer-priced router with bandwidth management capabilities for some time now and it appears that Draytek has produced another first.
