RE: Vigor 2910VG

["John Nye" <john@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mal,

I've got a 2900VG (the previous model) in a holiday home in Spain. I was
after something that was going to be ultra reliable as I stream video from
a
couple of IP cameras (I've got a 2600V here which has been rock solid for
about 3 years).

So far its been great. Can't comment on handling that sort of speed as my
link is quite slow, but would have no hesitation in recommending any
draytek
router.

I'm also using Voip. On one port I've got a voipcheap account used to make
outgoing calls. On the other port I've got a draytel account (which gives
me
a local UK number) and I've also bought a local spanish number through
http://www.didww.com
which is mapped to my draytel account. Both routers set
up the same so if anyone rings my local UK number or Spanish number I can
pick them up at either home. Draytel account also has the benefit of
sending
me an email with a voice attachment if the phone is not answered.

I guess it sounds a bit complicated, but seems to work!

John
