With the current effort to slow the spread of the 2019 coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, many businesses are looking at how they can operate by having employees work from home. Accessing company resources, even PBX phone systems, is all possible over the Internet using a secure VPN (Virtual Private Network).

In this video we'll look at what a VPN is and the types of VPNs available that can be used to access the company network and resources from another location. The level of security may be a concern as well, and will determine your choice of VPN protocol to use, and we’ll discuss the advantages or disadvantages each offer. Then we’ll look at how to choose the most suitable router for the task.

If you’re looking for a quality dual-WAN small office or home router, DrayTek’s Vigor2915 series may be just what you’re looking for.

The DrayTek Vigor2915 series picks up where the previous Vigor2912 series left off adding Gigabit Ethernet Ports and an upgrade from 802.11n Wi-Fi to 11ac. Two models are featured. A non-wireless model and an AC1200 wireless model which supports 300Mbps on the 2.4Ghz band and 867Mbps on the 5Ghz band. Business class Wi-Fi features are supported including DrayTek’s Airtime Fairness and Band Steering.

The Vigor2915 series are Dual-WAN routers with one dedicated Gigabit Ethernet WAN interface which supports technology types FTTP, HFC, Satellite and Fixed Wireless deployed by NBN in Australia and UFB in New Zealand. The second WAN can be either a second Ethernet WAN connection via a switchable LAN/WAN port (Port 4), a USB port for 3G/4G mobile broadband or a Wireless ISP connection (Vigor2915ac model only). Load Balance and Failover functions are available between both WAN connections.

Features such as a comprehensive firewall with Content Security Management and support for up to 16 VPN tunnels including 8 SSL VPN tunnels make the Vigor2915 series an excellent solution for SOHO and small businesses that require moderate network speeds with high security and reliability.

In our last video we discussed replacing the router that the ISP supplied to connect to the NBN service, if it didn’t do everything we needed it to, and what to do to retain the existing phone service, which was now locked to the ISP’s supplied router instead of plugged into the old copper phone line system.

In this video I’ll go through the configuration of the DrayTek router and placing the ISP’s supplied router in the DMZ to continue using it for the Voice over IP service, so we don’t lose the phone number.

In our last video we discussed the NBN multi technology mix and the different routers needed for each type of nbn if the router, or gateway if you prefer, that the ISP bundled with the service didn’t do everything that a customer might need it to.

While swapping the router out for a more advanced one is generally fairly straight forward, there is one issue where it can get a bit tricky, and that’s when we want to retain the same telephone service, now provided by the ISP.

In this video we discuss the basics of swapping out the ISP supplied router with a more advance DrayTek router while retaining the existing telephone service provided by the ISP.

One of the most common enquiries we receive is:

“I'd like a router to connect to the NBN. Which one do you recommend?”

The first problem with that question is that the NBN isn’t just the NBN. It’s actually 7 physically different types of internet services using different technologies grouped under one umbrella called the NBN Multi Technology MIX, or MTM. Each technology uses a different type of cable and broadband Internet technology for at least part of the distance to connect a house to the national broadband network. Even wireless and satellite connections may be the case for many people.

In this video we’ll take a look at the NBN Multi Technology MIX and go through the different routers needed to suit each different type of NBN connection.
