Draytek Vigor 2200USB

Draytek Vigor 2200USB ... shared access to the Internet as well as firewall and VPN facilities. As the Vigor2200USB has its own host USB port, you can connect your USB modem straight into the back. This means that there are no problems with your ISP whose terms typically require that you do not remove the ADSL modem from the line and if you run a network or computers which don't support the USB modem your ISP supplies, the Vigor2200USB makes it platform independent. As the Vigor2200USB is a self-contained unit, it provides a stable platform for operating the modem so its operation and reliability doesn't vary depending on the state of your host PC. You don't need to worry that upgrading or reconfiguring your PC might suddenly cause the modem to work differently as the Vigor2200USB is a dedicated device.

The Vigor2200USB's Web Interface allows you to control all features of the router. Facilities such as its packet-filtering firewall are easy to set up allowing you full control of what you do, and most importantly don't let onto your network. You can also configure the Vigor remotely, from elsewhere on the Internet (password protected). The Vigor's VPN facility enables you to connect two or more remote LANs or clients to each other using the Internet. A secure 'tunnel' is established and as you are making use of your existing Internet connection, there are no long distance phone charges or huge leased line costs typical of LAN links. Multiple VPN links can be supported simultaneously including a mixture of remote LANs and individual teleworkers connected to their ISP (via dialup or broadband).
