Vigor3910 Series, a broadband router, integrates IP layer QoS, NAT session/bandwidth
management to help users control works well with large bandwidth.
By adopting hardware-based VPN platform and hardware encryption of AES/DES/3DES, the
router increases the performance of VPN greatly and offers several proto cols (such as
IPSec/PPTP/L2TP) with up to 100 VPN tunnels.
The object-based design used in SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall allows users to set
firewall policy easily. CSM (Content Security Management) provides users control and
management in IM (Instant Messenger) and P2P (Peer to Peer) more efficiency than before. By
the way, DoS/DDoS prevention and URL/Web content filter strengthen the security outside
and control inside.
Object-based firewall is flexible and allows your network be safe. In addition, Vigor3910
Series supports USB interface for connecting USB printer to share printer, USB storage device
for sharing files, or for 3G/4G WAN.

It means wide area network. Public IP will be used in
WAN.
It means local area network. Private IP will be used in
LAN.
Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of subnets
regulated and ruled by router. The design of network
structure is related to what type of public IP addresses
coming from your ISP.
When the data flow passing through, the Network
Address Translation (NAT) function of the router will
dedicate to translate public/private addresses, and
the packets will be delivered to the correct host PC in
the local area network.
This page is used for configuring tranmission rate for LAN and WAN ports respectively.
Due to hardware restriction, the speed of P3 is the same as the speed of P4. So whenever P3 is
changed, P4 is changed too and vice versa.
Available settings are explained as follows:
Item Description
Port Display the physical ports on Vigor router.
Function P1 ~ P8 - These ports are switchable between WAN and LAN
ports.
Speed P1 ~ P2 - Available options include Auto, 10G and 1G.
P3 ~ P4 - Available options include Auto and 2.5G. Due to the
hardware limitation, the speed for P4 is the same as P3.
P5 ~ P12- Available options include Auto, 1G, 100M, and 10
M.
IP means Internet Protocol. Every device in an IP-based Network including routers, print
server, and host PCs, needs an IP address to identify its location on the network. To avoid
address conflicts, IP addresses are publicly registered with the Network Information Centre
(NIC). Having a unique IP address is mandatory for those devices participated in the public
network but not in the private TCP/IP local area networks (LANs), such as host PCs under the
management of a router since they do not need to be accessed by the public. Hence, the NIC
has reserved certain addresses that will never be registered publicly. These are known as
private IP addresses, and are listed in the following ranges:
As the router plays a role to manage and further protect its LAN, it interconnects groups of
host PCs. Each of them has a private IP address assigned by the built-in DHCP server of the
Vigor router. The router itself will also use the default private IP address: 192.168.1.1 to
communicate with the local hosts. Meanwhile, Vigor router will communicate with other
network devices through a public IP address. When the data flow passing through, the
Network Address Translation (NAT) function of the router will dedicate to translate
public/private addresses, and the packets will be delivered to the correct host PC in the local
area network. Thus, all the host PCs can share a common Internet connection.
From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
In ADSL deployment, the PPP (Point to Point)-style authentication and authorization is
required for bridging customer premises equipment (CPE). Point to Point Protocol over
Ethernet (PPPoE) connects a network of hosts via an access device to a remote access
concentrator or aggregation concentrator. This implementation provides users with
significant ease of use. Meanwhile it provides access control, billing, and type of service
according to user requirement.
When a router begins to connect to your ISP, a serial of discovery process will occur to ask for
a connection. Then a session will be created. Your user ID and password is authenticated via
PAP or CHAP with RADIUS authentication system. And your IP address, DNS server, and other
related information will usually be assigned by your ISP.
For 3G/4G mobile communication through Access Point is popular more and more, Vigor3910
adds the function of 3G/4G network connection for such purpose. By connecting 3G/4G USB
Modem to the USB port of Vigor3910, it can support LTE/HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/ GPRS/GSM and
the future 3G/4G standard (HSUPA, etc). Vigor3910n with 3G/4G USB Modem allows you to
receive 3G/4G signals at any place such as your car or certain location holding outdoor
activity and share the bandwidth for using by more people. Users can use LAN ports on the
router to access Internet. Also, they can access Internet via 802.11(a/b/g/n/ac) wireless
standard, and enjoy the powerful firewall, bandwidth management, and VPN features of
Vigor3910n series.

After connecting into the router, 3G/4G USB Modem will be regarded as the WAN3/WAN4 port.
However, the original WAN1 and WAN2 still can be used and Load-Balance can be done in the
router. Besides, 3G/4G USB Modem in WAN3/WAN4 also can be used as backu p device.
Therefore, when WAN1 and WAN2 are not available, the router will use 3.5G for supporting
automatically. The supported 3G/4G USB Modem will be listed on DrayTek web site. Please

modes for WAN1~WAN8 in details.
This router supports multiple-WAN function. It allows users to access Internet and combine
the bandwidth of the multiple WANs to speed up the transmission through the network. Each
WAN port can connect to different ISPs, Even if the ISPs use different technology to provide
telecommunication service (such as DSL, Cable modem, etc.). If any connection problem
occurred on one of the ISP connections, all the traffic will be guided and switched to the
normal communication port for proper operation. Please configure WAN# settings.

also can establish the PPPoE connection directly from local
clients to your ISP via the Vigor router. When PPPoA protocol
is selected, the PPPoE package transmitted by PC will be
transformed into PPPoA package and sent to WAN server.
Thus, the PC can access Internet through such direction.
For Wired LAN – If you check this box, PCs on the same
network can use another set of PPPoE session (different with
the Host PC) to access into Internet.
Note: To have PPPoA Pass-through, please choose PPPoA
protocol and check the box(es) here. The router will behave
like a modem which only serves the PPPoE client on the LAN.

RIPng Protocol RIPng (RIP next generation) offers the same functions and
benefits as IPv4 RIP v2.
Below shows an example for successful IPv6 connection based on PPP mode.
Tunnel setup protocol client (TSPC) is an application which could help you to connect to IPv6
network easily.
Please make sure your IPv4 WAN connection is OK and apply one free account from hexago
(http://gogonet.gogo6.com/page/freenet6-account
connection. TSPC would connect to tunnel broker and requests a tunnel according to the
specifications inside the configuration file. It gets a public IPv6 IP address and an IPv6 prefix
from the tunnel broker and then monitors the state of the tunnel in background.
After getting the IPv6 prefix and starting router advertisement daemon (RADVD), the PC
behind this router can directly connect to IPv6 the Internet.
At present, the IPv6 prefix can be acquired via the PPPoE mode connection which is
available for the areas such as Taiwan (hinet), the Netherlands, Australia and UK.
