DrayTek Vigor 2960 Dual-WAN Load Balancing VPN Firewall

The DrayTek Vigor 2960 Dual WAN Load Balancing VPN Firewall is a comprehensive network security and connectivity solution designed for modern business environments. At its core, this appliance offers dual WAN support, enabling simultaneous internet connections for improved uptime, automatic failover, and load-balanced traffic distribution. This means your network stays connected even if one link goes down, while also maximising performance during peak usage.

Built with advanced firewall protection, the Vigor 2960 safeguards your network against external threats with stateful packet inspection, intrusion detection, and access control features. Its intuitive enforcement tools help block unauthorized access and minimise security risks across your network perimeter.

The device’s VPN capabilities are a key strength — supporting multiple protocols for encrypted, secure communication between remote workers, branch offices, and headquarters. With standard and site-to-site VPN support, you can provision secure tunnels that protect sensitive data and enable remote teams to connect seamlessly to internal resources from anywhere.

Traffic management and QoS (Quality of Service) features ensure that your critical applications — such as VoIP, video conferencing, and cloud services — receive priority bandwidth, enhancing performance and user experience. Flexible configuration options and a user-friendly management interface make it easy to set up policies, monitor activity, and adjust settings as your networking needs evolve.

Designed for businesses that require dependable performance, secure remote access, and flexible connectivity options, the DrayTek Vigor 2960 provides a reliable foundation for secure networking that scales with your organisation.
