I-1 Introduction
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.
