Vigor 2927ac and mesh was created by dcharwood
Hi,
I've just bought a Vigor 2927ac to use as the root to a new mesh network.
Nodes to be 2 x 903 , 2 x 802 and an outdoor 918R.
plugged in the 2927, gave it internet access, updated the firmware to 4.2.0.2 - clients can connect.
can't find any function in the web interface to enable or use mesh at all. the online help doesn't. the 950 page pdf manual has not one mention of the word 'mesh'.
excellent.
any clues would be much appreciated
thx

This:
https://www.draytek.co.uk/news/introducing-the-vigor-2927
does say:
I'm guessing the Marketing Dept. is a bit ahead of the Software Team
(I believe the 2862 received this functionality after it had been launched).

The datasheet https://www.draytek.co.uk/support/downloads/vigor-2927/send/896-vigor-2927/2060-datasheet-vigor2927
says that it requires firmware 4.2.2

Could you use WDS Bridge mode in the meantime?
