- Long Line ADSL router
- Posted by ianh on August 15th, 2007
Thanks for helpful comments with regard to long line problems.
after a further 12hour resync this week I have finally put the BT
Voyager on its own UPS....hopefully that will keep it connected
slightly longer -
I have been pointed towards the Draytek2600 as a good longline
router . but doesnt support VPN....all the later products the 2700 and
2800 support VPN but the firmware doesnt support a long line update.
Can anybody recommend other routers that might be more suitable for
both long lines and vpn.

The 2600 does support VPN - I've deployed many, but it's all done in
software and has a throughput limitation of about 1.5Mb/sec. which will
be fine for outgoing data over an ADSL line. Make sure you flash it with
the long-line version of the software.

VPN servers with default configuration apart from the basic
ADSL setup, it also P2P port forwards without any special

ME102 wireless access points are from 99p on eBay if
you want to add wireless to the 4-port switch.

I got, congratulations, you are completely invisible,
it's as if your PC doesn't exist, not responding to
echo request (pings) or port probes.
