Great thank you, looks like it has qos over multiple wans. I will have to find some time to update the unit I have and try it.

Yes, I find these can be a bit quirky, but I have 3 vpns running stably across 7 wans on 2 sites.

I had 2 of these units even prior to the firmware being in pre-release. Every version of the FW has brought more stability and functionality.

I find my vpns can hang if I start tweaking config while the system is live so I try to avoid doing this.

I have issues with 120 routers. They use Infineon chipsets which are known for speed on stable lines, but not for resilience when you are further from the exchange. I am about to have a play with some D-Link DSL-320Bs which use a Broadcom chipset. Failing that, Im going to have to buy a leased line!! I also find that the units fail / become intermittently unresponsive to LAN and have switched out 4 to date.

Also, download your firmware from Draytek.com, not Draytek.co.uk as the UK agent (SEG) aren't always on the ball in keeping this up-to-date.

Or...more like they do their own extensive UK-specific testing before
releasing firmware and that's often the reason why there is lag...

Vigor 120s did have a bit of a bad patch n reliability but the design
was improved and any failed units should have been replaced if
they had the LAN port failed.

worth to give try but use the rst file extension for a clean install & also use the modem code 344001, is from the one which synchronise higher , how ever for more comparability with the local dslam try an other but that should be good enought, i was using it with broadcom exchange with good results
Change (get a new) and your adsl filter if you have it very long time
