i usually put my modem below the table, coz my table already full of things ==

below? the higher the better for the signal, am I correct?

What's the damage? Just Plug & Play ?

It's plug and play and compatible with Unifi. + all the enterprise features. They will soon release a new firmware which will add on a new features Damn nice!

I will upload the snapshot of control panel and full features of the router soon.

naise... welcome to club

i hv non-wireless 2130

What is the price & where to get this nice gadget?

yah...i wanna to ask this too

hmm...got usb port feature??

Just a question, the USB is to plug in the USB modem right?
If I am using huawai E220 maxis BB that required conect application in oder to make teh connecttion to maxis network. if I plug in the USB modem into this router, without the connect application, can i surf the net?

USB is to plug the USB modem or other USB peripherals such as printer, disk shares etc..

Regarding your question on maxis bb, I am in doubt.. maybe you need to key in the key strings here.

what is the price of thie wireless router?

Here are the prices.

Vigor 2130 (no wireless) @ RM510
Vigor 2130n (with wireless N) @ RM820

what about the promo price rm480 for wireless one.... is over? means u pay rm820 for ur 2130n???

another forumer said she bought for rm480 the wireless one (2130n)...
i was thinking sell the one i hv then buy the wireless version... the one i have is non wireless but i bought long ago ....no promotion that time

u bought from http://www.draytek-malaysia.com/ ???

also how is the wireless?? is it good range?

the RM480 for the wireless version is a limited time promo. just few units for that price. very very limited.

Yes I bought from Draytek Malaysia. The range of the signal is good.

They will soon release a new firmware which will add up more new features.

wow.. RM820... don't think its a ideal price for home user...

oh so u bought rm480

the wireless how much is the transfer speed? if u hv desktop and laptop... can u pls try transfer HD movie from desktop to laptop using wireless and tell the speed.... thanks
i want to make sure its worth i sell my nonwireless den buy the wireless one before promo is over...

wait wait....this thing its replacing the black TM thing or just replace the router?

What is black TM thing?

This will replace the wireless router provided by TM.

theres is 3 main component TM giving rite?

1 is D-link wireless router,STB and BTU rite?

Dlink its wireless router,STB its hyyp tv and BTU that black things

This will replace the Dlink wireless router. STB and BTU will remain the same.

aik...aint its expensive? buying a extra good wireless will do aint it? if u nid stronger wireless coverage

Just gotten mine @ RM480 + RM15 postage

Haven't get a chance to unbox it... Will try it out by tonight when I get back home...

Bank in yesterday at 11:30 noon and got it by pos laju this morning... fast delivery...

hi gotdamsg

bro did u test the one i ask?? let me know pls



bro can u test the one i ask before about the wireless? using wireless N try transfer between wireless laptop and ur desktop HD movie and tell the speed... thaanks bro

Personally Mikrotik replacement much more worth it

bro izzat, I will try n let you know ok...

MX510, I have Mikrotik RB750 too... I have to admit it is a very good router... but the quality of the router is too lousy...

I bought it on feb 2011 from SG and only get to enjoy for few weeks... the adapter just gave up on lightning stike through power socket... what I don't understand was none of devices connected at the same power socket spoilt except Mikrotik...

tried to bring back to the company but the company is gone... sigh... right now I'm not too sure if it affected the router or just the adapter itself....

For that kind of price, the specs for wireless router is just mediocre.

Draytek brand is well known over-priced Western brand sold in pound sterling currency.Not a wise decision.

With that kind of pricing level you're better off getting a high end Asus(Black Diamond or N16) or Buffalo model that is cheaper. You can also buy 3 sets of the TP-Link TL-WR1043D with an excess of RM800.

It has only 64Mb RAM + 8Mb Flash.

In comparison the Asus RT-56U has a 500MHz processor from Ralink with double amount of RAM-128MB with 8MB flash.You may disregard this factor, but for 3rd party firmware, this is a VERY important feature.

Now that's not just it. In about a year's time we'll even start seeing dual core CPU routers coming out the market. Just wait.

iipohbee, I agree at RM820 for 2130n is overprice especially you can have a good hardware + 3rd party software (DD-WRT) to do the same functionality!

I was trying to look for some all-in-one gigabit wireless router but was down with limited choice for Unifi... with RM480, i think its still somehow "reasonable" price for the features...

yes bro i disregard that factor
fancy hardwares SPECS dun matter

in real life is what matter not specs... like amd bulldozer 8 core cpu new architetcture but den .... ahh.. but i still waiting for amd to pull together NEVER INTEL
go to smallnetbuilder and australia forum whirlpool and read what ppls say about vigor most of them are coming form WRT610n or asus or other super high speed box

i hv been use non-wireless 2130 that i bought more than year ago at first with streamyx 4mbps and now Unifi.. i hv been so impress that i go around advise anyone who wan high end to buy one.... its class alone not using the same broadcom/TI/ralink common stuffs u see in all others... no crash no reboot no feature that dun work
actually dir615 cpu is higher.... but compare the two in p2p or many user..
i send email ask about cpu speed.. they told me its 200mhz lol i was whaaaaaat???
den they explain to me many of the feature is hardware accelerate with own chip.. den challenge me to crash the router with any software if i can lol
how can 200mhz cpu reach 800mbps route speed

if i go to the shell and check the load cpu its idle... and i see in the data flow page 7 active user and 4 my housemate are torrenting each with 1000-1500+ session... qos and bandwidth limit enabled but still its idle...
they r right the cpu is not doing load..
haha i pay rm490 for NO wireless... and still after a year the price online is like before it didn drop...its worth it really a great router that u jus install den forget

ts and thankyou got same model as me... how izit?

Please do not ignore the memory storage for the router's OS.

It's a very crucial feature for future upgrades when new features come in demand.

You're not going to be able to load the full package of the 3rd party firmware such as customized VPN support, CPU overclocking and ISP customizations without the extra storage.

This refers to a RM800 piece of hardware that was reviewed back in March 2010?

lates firmware release 2 months ago... nuff said

what r u talking about? customized VPN?? lol
see the vpn menu bro

can reach 800mbps at stock... overclock it?? isp customisation mean like vlan tagging for unifi which already supported? what u wan to do? put TM logo?

read what real broadband 150mbps user from netherland r saying not me.. jus search in the forum i post up

like i say in my sig.. 1 to 3 user tp-link is best choise.. very2 great price and stable for p2p
but if wan spend 400+ on anything toprange vigor is king

Specs does not matter? I don't think so. Some specs do matter, especially the RAM memory, it is really crucial on the performance.

You cannot compare CPU based on speed only, Cisco 4900 series router/switch, guess what? It has only 266 mhz CPU on board, and the throughput is 70 million packet per second, switching capacity is approx 90 gigabit per second, all running on 266 mhz CPU only. Different CPU architecture and type does matter too.

It is a nice product nonetheless, just that the price is a bit too demanding.

Hurm, it's a good router actually. Last time I used tplink load balancer at my shop. My customer always whining about lagging and delay while playing online games (HON and Blackshot, it's around 40-50 people playing BS on peak hour, oh my, this game is using p2p protocol to establish connection). The tplink can't handle too much sessions on peak hours, sometime the device hang! I decided to change to better enterprise router, on the first place im going peplink. The price was overy budget RM6.5k (Peplink 380). So I change to Draytek Vigor 3200 which had 4 WANs.

Guess what, with no fancy firewall rules, no bandwidth and sessions limit, the router easily handle 60 PCs and fully utilize 4x4mbps Streamyx. This month I will be open 2nd floor with 30 more PCs, I hope it will do the job perfectly!

And the great thing is, today my unifi will be install. It BIZ20 x 4! FYI, draytek 3200 is unifi compatible and I can get rid those dlink router

Bro izzat80, I do not have 300mbps wireless client card so I couldn't test it out for you...

This is what you've requested:

2130n location: downstair living hall

File Transfer: Sitting beside 2130n router


File Transfer: Upstair bedroom at the end of the house "door closed"

Draytek 3200 Specification

CPU: Danube-S
Memory: 64MB
NAT: 100000 sessions
64 concurrent VPN tunnels
10 concurrent SSL VPN tunnels

This is a business model, many features are hardware-accelerated with dedicated chips, including packet forwarding and VPN.. looking at it from cpu/ram perspective doesn't give it justice.. but rather real world performance.

Quote from Draytek's Tech Support

Some more, draytek staff called and guide me through phone around 9pm. He helped me until I can connect to Unifi!

hi forum

Im interested in this... can someone confirm is it fully smooth with xbox360 (open nat and upnp)? also the wireless doesn't drop for ipad/iphone?

xtreamer, xbox, NAS in the network

Streaming 1080p from NAS and p2p seeds running all the time. Not many torrent downloads ~few gigs per day. There is good upload traffic though, see my nickname

I need a device that can manage seeding and smooth game play. Is this a suitable router for me? word from existing xbox owners would be nice... THANKS

Received the Draytek on 20th Dec.


Have been busy testing this unit vs my previous setup Mikrotik RB250GS + Asus RT-N16 + DD-WRT. Pretty happy with Draytek 2130n.

wowww great!..

cool...what that oren box for?

That box is the Broadband router 4 port switch without Wi-Fi.

neway so i got this
after install can stream and work but for upnp now I'm confused, refer to picture. How is it there is a speed setting for Upnp?

before in my linksys the upnp is for auto-open then close the ports right? no need manual forward and all that. So if got utorrent enable upnp then enable in router, can get open port (green status) automatically... same for xbox can get open nat.

this router it opens the port but I need to specify speed? isnt upnp just for opening and closing ports? sometimes the unifi speed test is higher than what i subscribe. upload speed always higher. so should it be 6m if got 5m unifi?

also it says it supports DLNA, anyone tried streaming directly from the router to hdtv? that would be neat no need for streaming device/player. Already got the new xtreamer but just curious. If got second hdtv no need to buy another xtreamer

it extra feature la.. u can set the speed for upnp client...
if u want no limit just put 6mb if got 5mb... like u say

dlna look interesting.... dun think i hv any device that hv that... just normal tv no fancy stuffs.. if u try it tell how is it

try d
You will need to put a USB thumbdrive or disk to install it.

did you try the new firmware? now I can view the QoS real time stat

I'm seeding full speed and downloading, then I view youtube video automatically QoS reduce torrent download (red one).. and the green (youtube video) takes priority. the black is skype I was making a call, was perfect clear! this baby is epic
still dont know the high. Red = torrent/p2p, green = browsing. black = skype/voice. purple = ? dont know yet never see it move before
UNIFI FTW. Man I was missing much with the old crappy connection. I downloaded gigs and gigs. unifi is EPIC

its looks cool I will try it
yes unifi is great i remember i was excite like this when i got it first... after a while nothing left to download... all HDD is full hahaha

Regarding the external USB drive, I was told using ext3fs (linux file system) gives much better read/write performance.

With NTFS it wasn't fast, but to use ext3fs you have to format the HDD, meaning lose all data on the drive, because you are changing the filesystem.

I don't have linux, but there is a format tool in the router BUT my external HDD is packed with content and I have no place to move it. Have any tried the ext3fs? Is there a big jump? Is it worth it to reformat?

I don't think any of my friends has 1TB laying around for me to use so need to get rid of the 1080p collection . And after doing this the HDD will not be usable in windows right? Since its a linux file system. Ahh man

I found a lot of techniques to read and write ext3 file system on Windows. you may try google around :-)

Oh. This you mean? http://www.fs-driver.org/

Mind sharing the app you are using? Thanks

if u find good one already share lah..... we needs to google again?

but.... is there app that can integrate with win and not open manual to do all? dun think so....
anyway why need to access? if u put the hdd with vigor, u can access from share direct... why u need to put it back to windows? just make the hdd permanet attached to vigor router...

found a lot but haven't tried it yet.. so I didn't know which one is working best I will let you all know once I got the chance to do it

Yup, I think thats what I'm gonna do. I will keep my current HD for my use and buy a new HD just for the Vigor and attach it, format to linux file system and leave it there permanently for use by the router

Looks like this wireless router is good.

I do have a question, as the current TM provided DIR-615 is just not working for me - my front upstairs room can't get the signal from the wireless AP situated at the ground floor back room.

I would like to know whether with 2130n setup at the downstairs backroom, can reach the upstairs front room? Anyone with similar setup?

I actually put at my house living hall and i don't know if this consider as front? and my bedroom is actually located upstair back of the house...

with DIR-615, i barely can get signal and sometime the line broken... but with 2130n, I can have at least 3 - 4 bars of signal when i move my notebook til the edge of the room. If i stay near the door of my room, I can actually get full bar!

As for iPhone/iPad, 1 bar at the edge of the room, 2 - 3 bars near the door of the room...

Conclusion, it is actually quite strong for the signal... If you need any further technical detail, i guess I can spend sometime to give you the dbi signal strength if you want...

Thanks! This gives me anidea about the signal strength. Currently i'm using a repeater which i'm trying to avoid unless necessary.

I wonder whether 2130n antenna allows stronger signal strength compared to Asus RT-N56 ?

Never own an Asus RT-N56 so I can't comment on that...

I don't think the signal is stronger than Asus RT-N56 but even at 2-3 bar, the signal is stable and never drop.
Later, will experiment with a higher dBi antenna to see if the signal improve.

happy with the draytek wireless range also, covers the entire place comfortably
and the three antennas are detachable, they can be replaced/upgraded easily

Good to learn about Draytek here, but the price is too high for us to get one just to try and test it

I'm facing one very annoying problem!

My company VPN (PPTP & L2TP) keep disconnecting! From time to time, the connection will just suddenly freeze but the connection remain "Connected"

I have to reconnect the VPN in order to re-establish my SSH/Remote Connection...

When i change this back to TM D-Link router, everything is back to normal!

send email to the support. I sent to them to help me setup my network itunes server, very responsive

no need send email i think i knw why like this
there is builtin vpn server in vigor... since u r using ur company vpn server.... u dun need vigor vpn and it conflict maybe
go to vpn menu and disable all vpn service
can see there is vpn passthru aso...

owners of 2130, install the new firmware its waay better

torrent downloader now works great. The trick is must use the ext3 file system on the hard drive not fat/ntfs



lol don't mind all red lines. got to hide those torrents haha

Just get a empty hard drive then attach to your router, then format using ext3 file system. After you plug the HDD, use the format tool available in the router menu.. And now you got a good NAS!

That ext filesystem is much better than NTFS/FAT.. Copying to/from router shared folders now are faster also

i see ur speed slow what happen torrent speed

yea it doesn't go as high as bitcomet on my PC.
there are specific highs and lows in the day, see my weekly graph when using built-in:


See the waves? its constant. TM enforcing something? the client in router not encrypted I think.
when I disable the router torrent and download with my PC using bitcomet the speed is constant maximum so it could be that

Somehow with the new V1.5.2 beta firmware installed, the VPN disconnection no longer appear...

Will have more testing before any further comment! Good start!

thankyou maybe you can help me with something

I'm trying to play a game called Left 4 Dead 2 with my friend and this game supports LAN play.

I tried to use hamachi, I get an ip like 5.48.7.5
then my friend installed hamachi also, he gets IP: 5.77.1.9
But I can never find him in lobby, after research it appears L4D doesn't allow it. The IP must be the same except last digit. For example:
me: 192.168.1.10
my friend: 192.168.1.15
Then it will work. I saw in some forum that people use VPN to play. from my understanding VPN allow other to join my local network right?

In vigor2130n how can I let me friend get IP 192.168.1.15 and act like local?

can...
ask ur friend to use win7 vpn wizard... and he need to key in ur ip... can see it from online status

in ur vigor router... go to vpn option. enable pptp then add new user.. then put user name and password
and give static ip... like u say 192.168.1.15... make sure u tick allow pptp..
i attach pic for u u just need add usr for ur friend.. i actually did same but for sharing folder not vpn but is same
gaming time


Attached thumbnail(s)

THANKS a lot I will try it with my friend tomorrow and see how it goes

Draytek 2130N user reporting in ...

So far Uptime : 30d 11:09:10

Transferred A LOT over LAN (few TB at least), downloading on Usenet and torrents constantly, and perfectly stable.

Much more reliable than the original DLink and the TP Link I used after that as a replacement, still happy

Might change to the Beta firmware soon

Yea its great. I sent many emails to support asking about all things I think if I send anymore they will refund and ask for the router back lol

But I understand more about networking now. Anyways regarding the beta firmware there are different versions

The first file I got when I asked about it was named v2130_r25xx.all
Then I asked if there are any updates and they sent me a newer one: v2130_r2623.all
And all of them are called 1.5.2beta

They also said the final is soon. So keep that uptime counting for now haha

pls test it for wireless ping vigor 2130n router ip address show me screenshot

Actually 2623 is not the latest one. I had mine updated to 2640

You can get the latest one from the following link:

ftp://ftp.draytek.pl/Seria_2130/Firmware/1.5.2_BETA/

i finally upgrade my router...
i installed v2130_r2650.all recevied this morning
firmware is oni two days old released

but my uptime counter reset...

I was curious to try 2650 so I sent another email the guy said:

lol yea I guess I will just wait fed up with my emails I guess hahaha. Seems he knows you well

yes.. i think im first owner here.. i buy long ago standard price not promo and that time i call speak not email

L4D2 works like charm! My friends ip in my network became 192.168.1.201
smooth play! Thanks izzat.

Unifi symmetrical speed it feels just like LAN play!
Much better than hamachi! I guess because this way is direct

With over RM800, I'm better off getting an Asus RT-N66U aka the Dark Knight.

Only cost around USD$180-190(not even RM600)

Broadcom chipset.

Maximum simultaneous connections:
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/rout...-max-simul-conn
It can do twice as many as the Draytek2130n

Built quality is way better coming from the top motherboard manufacturer and superb quality heatsink that is as heavy as a brick.

Asus Malaysia provides 1 to 1 replacement as they were challlenged by TP-Link previously.

its rm480 for vigor2130n.. I don't think I will need to replace this baby anytime soon. But as you said, for cheap hardware you need 1-to-1 replacement

Its worth it. I own one, you don't seem to. As a satisfied customer with the superb hardware and the nice service by the people working there. I want to say all your nonsense is exactly that, nonsense.

you go around in broadband topics trying to start arguments, I saw your whining about Unifi and TM or the bandwidth pipe stuff blablahh
I for one am very happy with Unifi despite what you say, its the best internet in malaysia, and I tried the majority

yes vpn is better..
actually hamachi not bad... but for some game like urs not working so just use vpn...

also in win7 super easy to use (just click start >>> type vpn in search) first one the wizard... next put ip next... thats it!!

ignore that guy la... see my reply him in this thread even.. he repeating again same bs.. here and /k also...
search lyn rt n56 see owenr feedbacks first..

Sudah harga turun ka bro? No demand? Tak laku?
Price dropped by half with less demand?

We are talking about hardware here kiddo. What's with the ISP service promotion now on a hardware thread?

Your post seems more like an argument inciter than mine. I'm just making the public aware of a new router model that all.

here we ago again....u dun see this is owner thread? why u come here try convince us we r wrong and stupid for buying? we already buy man... its too late

since u always use smallnetbuilder.... do u check the forum ? go there...
also my fav forum: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum/82?g=56
read the feedbacks about each... vigor king man

and if u wan to make the (public aware of new model) like u say... go to unifi thread... the word router is not even in title of this thread... only ppls who know this come inside here so get out and promo ur super asus in main unifi thread lah..sure got much more ppls see it there
the only kiddo here is u not goodseeder or anyone else... its U.. iipohbee the clueless spamming bee

Hi Vigor owners, any of you use the VPN server on the 2130? How fast is it using 3DES or AES128?

My friend thinking of getting one for the office. Currently he has an Asus n56u but VPN from him to his supplier's VPN server is problematic. i.e.: doesn't really work from what he tells me. Now he needs incoming VPN but not a dedicated box or server so that's why I suggested to him the Vigor. Only 2 or 3 person needs to use at any one time.

Anyway he's gonna give me the n56u if I can get something working for him. :-)

PS: does the Asus n56u have a VPN server built-in?

This post has been edited by soonwai: Feb 17 2012, 03:37 AM

Not sure if its the same as what you ask but I'm doing this. Hamachi did not work with L4D2 so I enabled VPN in the vigor and my friend used the Windows vpn wizard to join my network, see izzat post I followed it

In the game his IP is 192.168.1.201, just like a local LAN IP

What type is that or what is the speed no idea

This post has been edited by goodseeder: Feb 17 2012, 11:43 AM

Exactly what we want to do also sans the gaming part. :-) What are the ping times like with the VPN? What encryption do you set for the connection? The speed I was asking about is how fast it takes, for example, to copy a file from your friend's PC to yours. Because the encryption will slow things down for sure. If you got time, maybe you can just copy a file for me and see how long it takes. Thanks in advance.

This post has been edited by soonwai: Feb 17 2012, 12:21 PM

Ok I will check with my friend tonight when he goes online. I usually call my friend on skype and we speak then he joins using VPN to my network so we can play
I guess using skype to send file will not use VPN right? How do I copy to see the VPN speed?

Once he's connected to your VPN. If he's got File Sharing on, you should be able to see him in My Networks. Just drag and drop as usual after that. Thanks, man.
