Vigor 2820 firmware upgrade 3.3.4 – improved performance and reliability


Just replaced an existing Vigor 2820 that had been acting erratically. Noticed that the firmware on the replacement unit was well out of date so decided to check for current releases. I note that the last draytek firmware update was from 2010 but decided that this was worth having for the range of fixes mentioned (See below). Specifically some issues with DHCP that I had experienced seem to have been resolved. I would normally either update this directly (ie plugged into the unit) or via a wired land connection – NOT across a wireless link !!!

Firmware Version	: 3.3.4.1 (Release)
Release Date		: 4th October 2010
Build Date		: 24th September 2010
Applicable Models	: Vigor2820, Vigor2820n, Vigor2820Vn, Vigor2820Vsn

******************************************************************************

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Important Note:

Firmware 3.3.4.1 provides significant improvements and new features for Vigor2820
series owners.  It is possible that if you are using older firmware and retain
your old configuration, you could experience difficulties or unexpected operation.
We recommend firstly taking a configuration backup of your router before upgrading
and retaining a copy of the older firmware in case you want to revert back to it
later (old firmware versions are available from, ftp://ftp.draytek.com ).

Upgrade to this new firmware locally only (i.e. when you are with the router,
not remote to it). After you upgrade to the new firmware, check the operation of the
router and ensure that it is operating correctly.  If not, we recommend upgrading the
router again but use the .RST file which will reset the router back to factory default
settings; you will then need to configure the router from scratch.

NOTE: 3G modems listed here indicate drivers have been added but does not confirm compatibility with UK Operators.
For the list of officially supported models please see the Vigor2820 specification page http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor2820.html 

[Improvements and Corrections]

1. Fixed: Bind IP to MAC did not function correctly.
