Hello,

I love my Draytek 2820n routher and am considering upgrading to a 2850n. One of the features of the 2850n I am particularly keen on is 5Ghz 11n wireless, but not all my devices support 5Ghz.

As far as I can tell the 2850n does not offer a mixed 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz mode (mixed 11g and 2.4Ghz/5Ghz would be even better). Is the 2850n ever going to offer such a mode via a firmware update or is it a limitation of the chipset?

Does anybody have any idea when such a model may be available, how often does Draytek refresh their products?

Thanks.

Is anybody able to help with this please? Even if you're not 100% sure.

email info@draytek and see if they can advise you.
I have a couple or 2850s and are on the latest ip6 firmware and they wont do mixed modes

you have e mail support or sales info@dreaytek.co.uk as mentioned
as for how long they refresh their products for the 2850 i see about 3 firmwares (with new features/fixes) each year about

The 2850 has one wireless radio - if you look up how simultaneous dual band routers work, they all have two radios to operate on the two frequencies. I really doubt that a firmware update could add that facility.

Okay, thanks very much for your advice everyone.
