DrayTek Toolkit

Web-UI step builder for DrayTek Vigor routers: DHCP, port-forward, and LAN-to-LAN VPN.

Why this exists

DrayTek Vigor routers have a dense web UI where DHCP, NAT and a LAN-to-LAN VPN each sit behind a different menu. This emits the exact menu path and the field values to enter, so you apply them in the web UI without fat-fingering.

How to use

Pick a task: system info, DHCP, port-forward / DMZ, or LAN-to-LAN VPN.
Fill in the fields, and the web-UI menu path and field values build live.
Follow the menu path in the Vigor web UI and enter the listed values.
Use the factory-defaults reference when recovering a unit with unknown credentials.

Log into the Vigor web UI (https://192.168.1.1) with the admin credentials, then follow the menu path. Each path copies.

Tasks flagged destructive reboot the unit or wipe its config. The Reset to factory default reboot is a full wipe, back up first (System Maintenance → Configuration Backup).

Check firmware version, model and build date

System Maintenance → System Status

Note: First stop on any unit, confirm the model and firmware (and serial/MAC) before you change anything. The Dashboard also shows it at a glance.

See uptime, LAN/WAN status and port state

Dashboard

Note: The landing Dashboard shows port status, LAN/WAN status, system uptime and (on xDSL units) DSL info in one view.

Set the router's system (host) name

System Maintenance → Management → Router Name

Note: Helps identify the unit in logs, Syslog and across a fleet.

Reboot the routerdestructive

System Maintenance → Reboot System → 'Using current configuration' → Reboot Now

Note: Config is preserved. Drops all sessions and the WAN link for ~1-2 minutes, warn the customer first.

Factory reset (wipe all configuration)destructive

System Maintenance → Reboot System → 'Reset to factory default configuration' → Reboot Now

Note: Irreversible. LAN returns to 192.168.1.1 / admin. Back up the config first (System Maintenance → Configuration Backup → Backup).

Back up / restore the configuration

System Maintenance → Configuration Backup

Note: Backup saves a .cfg; Restore loads one back. Always grab a backup before any change on a production unit.

Change management ports / restrict WAN access

System Maintenance → Management

Note: On the WAN Access tab move HTTPS off 443, disable Telnet/SSH from WAN, and restrict remote management to known IPs (Access List) on internet-facing units.

Check xDSL line sync, rate and SNR

Online Status → DSL Status  (or  Diagnostics → DSL Status)

Note: On ADSL/VDSL models. Check sync rate and SNR margin here on a slow/dropping line before escalating to the ISP.

View the routing table

Diagnostics → Routing Table

Map a MAC to an IP (ARP cache)

Diagnostics → ARP Cache Table

Note: Shows IP ↔ MAC of LAN devices the router has seen, handy for finding which IP a known device holds.

See who currently holds a DHCP lease

Diagnostics → DHCP Table

Note: Live lease list (IP, MAC, hostname, remaining lease). Pair with the DHCP tab to size the pool.
