Just upgraded to the DrayTek Vigor 2927AX from my old 2860AC, and here's the tea ☕.

The WiFi 6 is nice for future-proofing, but with my older devices, the improvement is subtle—not mind-blowing. Still, no buffering during 4K streams!

Love the dual-WAN setup (bye-bye, FTTC 👋), though losing a LAN port for it stings a bit. Throughput? Meh. My gigabit connection tops at ~700Mb/s—not the advertised 'ideal conditions' speed.

VPN tunnels? Chef’s kiss 👌. Remote work is smooth with 50 tunnels, and VLANs keep my IoT gadgets in check (no sketchy smart bulbs hacking my network).

BUT… hardware acceleration? Ghosted me. Firmware bugs caused crashes until I installed a release candidate. Also, DrayTek’s support gave me ‘it’s your Amazon Fire devices’ vibes instead of fixing their WiFi dropouts.

Verdict: A sturdy workhorse 🐴 with quirks. If you need raw speed or mesh WiFi, look elsewhere. For SMBs craving VPNs/VLANs? Worth it—just brace for tinkering.
