Draytek are sometimes a little conservative, but there's little reason to doubt that the max. throughput will be there-or-thereabouts. Of course, you can always disable the Firewall, but you'd be losing one of its main features.
(From 2000 -> 2019 I was an NTL/Virgin Media customer. My Draytek upgrades (from 2300 >> 2900 >> 2820 >> 2830 >> 2860) were driven entirely by Virgin Media's speed increases. I now find myself on the end of an FTTC connection - so bring back the 2820, is what I say - it's 2005 again!
On the bright side, Draytek seem to have finally produced an affordable Router (the 2927) that might be in the same league (speed-wise), as the bottom-of-the-range 'thing' that an ISP gives:wink:
(If FTTP ever makes it to North Devon, that's what I'll be investigating)

Firewall: Up to 300Mb/s max...
...but the FW seems to be a limiting factor, does this mean that in reality the WAN2 port is limited to 300Mbps (with the FW enabled)?

Thanks for the info. I suspected as much, as I've since tested it with the firewall temporarily disabled, and I do see an increase in the download speeds.
I have looked at the specs for the 2927, and it does say it's capable of "up to 950Mbps throughput per WAN interface" with HW acceleration, so it sounds like this will fit the bill.
