Advanced Connectivity for Business Continuity

The Vigor2865 provides dual WAN capability through its Gigabit Ethernet port and integrated VDSL2/ADSL2+ modem, supporting supervectoring profile 35b for ultra-fast broadband.

Built-in firewall protection with Network Address Translation (NAT) safeguards your network from external threats. The router supports comprehensive security protocols including WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption, plus Access Control Lists for granular traffic management.
