Add DSL connectivity to any Router

The DrayTek Vigor 167 modem connects to VDSL2 FTTC and ADSL2+ connections, for use with Superfast FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) services and regular ADSL Broadband.

Connect your Ethernet-based Firewall or Router to Ultrafast and Superfast broadband, simply by adding in the Vigor 167 modem.

The DrayTek Vigor 167 operates as a full-bridge modem straight out of the box and is pre-configured to work with most UK DSL connections, with no configuration needed on the modem itself.


 
The Vigor 167 makes it easy to connect your Router or Firewall to VDSL and ADSL connections. Simply connect your router to the Vigor 167's LAN ports, then in your router's configuration enter your ISP's username and password, or use DHCP with ISPs such as Sky or TalkTalk. The Vigor 167 converts DSL for use with Ethernet routers, without any additional layers of complexity such as NAT (Network Address Translation).

It is compatible with IPTV and ISP Video on Demand services like YouView and Sky Q with no extra configuration needed on the modem.

Support for Vectoring, G.INP and VDSL2 35b SuperVectoring, ensures full compatibility with UK VDSL and ADSL networks.

When used with a DrayTek Vigor router, the Vigor 167 modem reports its DSL status to the router, so that you can check on the modem's DSL status straight from the router's web interface.

 
Two Gigabit LAN Ports

The Vigor 167 has two Gigabit LAN ports, allowing two devices to be connected to the modem at once.

For an example of how that can be beneficial, it allows High Availability to be used with two Ethernet routers and the Vigor 167 providing the DSL > Ethernet link to both, without needing a separate switch.

Two LAN ports also enable Vigor 167 to be managed by VigorACS 3 while providing DSL modem functionality, for easier remote firmware upgrades and troubleshooting.

While still providing Internet connectivity, you can plug a laptop into the second port to check the Vigor 167's web interface, without disrupting the Internet connection.


 
No Setup Needed

DrayTek's Vigor 167 modem is pre-configured and designed for use in the UK, with the required network settings pre-set, such as the Openreach VLAN tag.

This means that a multitude of routers and other devices, can connect through the Vigor 167 with a minimum of hassle, even devices that don't support VLAN tags.

Out of the box, the Vigor 167 passes through the DSL Internet connection to the device connected to its Ethernet port.


 
Wall or Shelf Mountable

The Vigor 167 modem can be mounted securely to a wall or shelf, using the included wall mount fittings.

A drill pattern is included in the box so that the Vigor 167 can be installed quickly and easily.


 

The DrayTek Vigor 130 is an ADSL and VDSL modem with an Ethernet connection; it is not a router but a true ADSL/VDSL Ethernet Modem (bridge). The Vigor 130 provides compatibility with all current UK VDSL/ADSL technologies; it has been extensively tested and tuned to provide a robust and reliable DSL connection.  



By providing a PPPoE bridge, the connected device (firewall, router or PC) can log into the Internet (your ISP) directly and have full control over the Internet connection  - that makes the Vigor 130 a unique product. You can connect any device to the Vigor 130 which has a PPPoE client facility, which includes PCs, most Ethernet-WAN routers and the Apple Airport/Time Capsule™ products.

Other Ethernet 'modems' may use workarounds to get a public IP address 'through' to your secondary device/client, requiring non-standard operation and complicated dual-stage setup (modem logs in, router routes) but the Vigor 130 provides the secondary device with a real routed IP connection and the ability to fully manage the connection, making setup easy. In most cases, the Vigor 130 needsno setup or configuration - just plug it in and set up your PC or router. All login/ISP details are entered on the connected client device, not the Vigor 130. The actual connection to your ISP is still PPPoA or PPPoE (depending on your ISP and line type).

This transparent bridging method also differs from using a normal ADSL/VDSL router which logs in itself and then uses NAT or multiple public IP addresses to create an onward client connection for your secondary device; that is not IP Address thrifty and can introduce secondary NAT compromises or interference with various protocols/traffic. With the Vigor 130 bridge/modem, you get a true single public IP address (or multiple, if you have them) straight through to your firewall/router.

Line Info in Vigor Router Interface

When connected to a Vigor router (2860, 2925 series and 2830n v2), DSL line information is now displayed in the router's own web interface, alongside any built-in DSL interface stats. In the example below, WAN1 is a Vigor2860's built-in modem but WAN2 is a connected Vigor 130:
