 High praise. Which Draytek router BTW? I had one a few years ago but it
was strangely broken and I eventually had to return it and as it was out
of production I just got a refund. I went with a fairly awful Mikrotik
until I got around to building my own from a PC Engines APU2 board.
 

I have a Mikrotik HAPLITE TC as Wifi access point. Awful user interface, Nothing on it worked except by cribbing something off the net, I got it to work as a wifi access point!
Very cheap tho
Once I had incanted the right magic spell, it has been rock solid.
My draytek is one with two voip phone sockets in.
As the UK is moving away from everything except VOIP for landline phones, that would be handy, except the ISPs are reselling BTs proprietary shit and the old free SIPGATE doesn't like 'free' any more.

They are getting on for $200 now I think

I really like how Draytek puts a simulation of their web interface
online. Nothing like seeing it yourself, even if you can't really do
anything in the simulation.

I didn't know they did that!
