The Vigor2762 series is an ADSL2+ / VDSL2 router / firewall with guest network
capability for fast and secure home and small office connectivity, designed for
bandwidth-intensive applications such as high-definition video streaming, online
gaming and Internet telephony.
Packed with advanced features, the Vigor 2762 series offers truly comprehensive DSL
connectivity and security. Compatible with all UK variants of ADSL (including ADSL2+
and Annex M), VDSL2 (BT Infinity™/FTTC), the Vigor 2762 can also be used for
cable-modem or fibre connections, using its GigaLAN 4 port in Ethernet WAN mode
and 3G/4G cellular service using a supported USB modem.
A 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch on the LAN side provides high speed connectivity for
your computers or network storage (NAS) devices and can connect a VigorAP wireless
access point or network switch with 802.1Q VLAN tagging. Comprehensive security
features include content filtering, web application controls and an object based
firewall management system.
GlobalView Web Content Filtering allows blocking of websites based on the category
they're determined to fit in, which is managed by the GlobalView servers, making it
far simpler to block unwanted sites (e.g. Gambling and adult categories) with less
maintenance required as new or changed site categorisations are continuously
updated. A free 30-day trial is included with your new router.
Advanced IP based Quality of Service, Bandwidth Management and WAN Budget
facilities make it possible to control bandwidth usage fairly on your network,
prioritising important traffic such as Voice over IP over bulk downloads and making it
possible to limit network segments, such as the guest network from over-using
bandwidth.
The router's hardware accelerated IPSec/SSL/L2TP VPN (Virtual Private Networking)
functionality can dial-out quickly and securely to an office VPN server for
teleworking.
The SSL VPN server allows you to connect your computer, phone or tablet into your
home network from anywhere, with access to network storage and secure Internet
connectivity through the SSL VPN tunnel.
Two USB ports allow for connection of USB Printers, USB Storage (for Samba or FTP
usage) for basic NAS functionality, USB Modem for Internet connectivity or a USB
Temperature sensor to monitor temperatures remotely and warn if the temperature
goes outside of the desired range.
