Performance & Speed: The DrayTek Vigor 2927AX delivers reliable dual-WAN load balancing with gigabit throughput, though real-world speeds may fall short of the advertised 1.8Gbps. Users report around 700Mb/s on a 1Gb/s connection, which is adequate but not exceptional.

Wi-Fi 6 & Connectivity: The AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 offers modest improvements over older models, ideal for 4K streaming and low-latency tasks. However, some users question whether a built-in Wi-Fi AP is optimal vs. a separate mesh system.

VPN & Security: With support for up to 50 VPN tunnels (OpenVPN & SSL), VLANs, and client isolation, this router excels in securing IoT devices and remote access—perfect for SMBs.

Hardware Quirks: Hardware acceleration issues persist for some users, limiting peak speeds. Firmware bugs (e.g., crashes on v4.4.2.3) have been problematic, though beta fixes exist.

Verdict: A robust upgrade for those needing dual-WAN and advanced networking, but power users may want to wait for future models with higher WAN speeds (2.5Gb/s+).
