A Nice Router . This is not a rack mount router so It should have all the status lights at front and the power, antena and ethernet connectors at the rear.
I have intermitent problems with one of my two ISP providers and the router unfortunately doesn't detect that leaving all the users without access to the internet instead of seamless routing them to the working WAN , of course defeating the purpose of having a router capable of balancing the load between two carriers and unfortunately I had to set the problematic WAN port to work only as a backup, wasting a two WAN capable router.
I wish the manufacturer would improve the firmware and correct this.

DrayTek Vigor 2920n Wireless 802.11n Dual WAN Security Router Reviews
Nice router but did not fit my needs . I purchased this router because of its feature set. This is a well thought out and well executed product, but fell short for me in the VPN area. I was specifically interested in the VPN server/client capabilities, but found the IPSEC/L2TP VPN to be unusable because it is easily blocked by corporate firewalls (specifically mine). OpenVPN was/is a much better solution on 2 counts. The ports can be user defined, and it supports a TAP connection which allows layer-2 networking on a LAN. This was great for my needs, since it supports protocols like Bonjour, etc... Also, OpenVPN is every bit as secure as L2TP/IPSEC.I was running an old Linksys WRT-54GL router with Tomato VPN firmware, which was working wonderfully for me. But the old router hardware was getting a little long in the tooth, which is what motivated me to upgrade. I wanted integrated 5Ghz wireless and a Gigabit switch. Do to the aforementioned VPN issue, I returned the DrayTek and picked up a Cisco/Linksys e3000 and loaded Tomato on it. WOW. This is what I have been looking for. Gigabit ethernet, dual-band wireless (the DrayTek made you choose 2.4 or 5Ghz, but would not run both together like the Linksys). All that and the unmatched interface and feature set of Tomato. If that's not enough, I was able to buy 2 E3000's for the price of one DrayTek. I'm very happy.

Cons Review
Not really worth it. . I've had this router for a few months. I'm not impressed. I run a small website behind it that averages about 28,000 pages requests per day.
First, part of the purpose of a Dual-WAN router is increased connectivity reliability. I've yet to add the 2nd ISP/WAN but I'm not encouraged to do so with this router. In the few months I've had the router, I've had to reboot it 4-5 times due to it freezing. All traffic through the router came to a halt....WAN->LAN, LAN->LAN, and LAN->WAN. In that time, my ISP has not gone down once. Exactly what good is a Dual-WAN router if the router is more prone to failure than the ISP?
Second, the wireless performance is poor. I don't get a very good signal even less than 10' from the router. Using various wireless tools to analyze the signal strength, I get a strong signal from some of my neighbors that are 40' away or more.
