I have had this router for a long time and i am really happy with it. Its one of the most stable routers i have had in almost 10 years. I do however notice that if i run traceroute (or tracert for windows users) the router is responding as "my.router" and i was wondering if its possible to change that at all? Draytek dont seem to be big on the whole documentation side of things.
Have you tried the telnet function ?
sys name my.router

:welc: :karma: Not sure about that username though.
heh, guess my googling skills have a bit of room for improvement.
Thanks for the swift reply. After playing around, it seems that this is composed of two variables. sys name and sys domainname
(in my case i had to specify wan1 or wan2)
sys name wan1 test
sys domainname wan1 homenetwork
traceroute to google.co.uk (173.194.66.105), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 test.homenetwork (10.0.0.1) 0.402 ms 0.396 ms 0.396 ms
There's a funny story behind my nickname which i wont get into on here hehe.. :)
Have you tried in a similar format i.e. dhcp.server and see if it then doesn't add .router

hehe, thanks for the help steve,
I was hoping to edit my post before you replied but oh well. Its all sorted now.. Thanks for the help! No doubt i'll be back in the near future ^_^
I used to use a Draytek 120 it's only a modem but a fine one at nevertheless.
I'm Baack!!
I just bought a second 2820 however its just a plain old 2820 not 2820vn like my current.
My question to you is, my primary router (the 2820vn) has firmware with a modem code of 211801 however the new router has older firmware with a modem code of 232201.
Can anyone advise what the differences are? I live in the UK and currently unable to get ADSL2 in my area so does it matter if i put the new firmware on with either modem code or could i risk bricking it if i put 211801 on it?
They both seem to use the same firmware so in theory you should be safe, I did find this.
NOTE: ADSL Modem Codes
For general purpose usage on UK lines, modem code 232201 is recommened
For ADSL2+ Annex M lines, the latest modem code 2471201 is suggested
For line speeds of less than 4Mbps, on lower quality lines a modem code with more conservative paramaters, 211801 is suggested

I have a Vigor2820Vn
Firmware Version : 3.3.5.2_232201
Build Date/Time : Apr 7 2011 18:10:43
ADSL Firmware Version : 232201_A Hardware: Annex A
Upgrading to the latest firmware was worth the effort for me.
