DrayTek Vigor Router Firmware (.all vs .rst) & Support Hub
DrayTek's Vigor business routers (such as the Vigor 2927, Vigor 2865, and Vigor 3910) are widely used in small offices for multi-WAN load balancing, policy-based routing, and hardware LAN-to-LAN VPN tunnels. Important DrayTek Firmware Distinction: Every DrayTek firmware download zip contains two file extensions—.all (which upgrades the firmware while preserving your existing settings) and .rst (which upgrades the firmware and wipes the router back to factory defaults).

How to Update DrayTek Firmware Safely
- Back up your current DrayTek configuration first via System Maintenance > Configuration Backup > Backup.
- Download the latest official firmware zip for your exact Vigor model from draytek.com/support/resources/routers#version and extract it.
- Open System Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade in the Vigor web GUI and choose the '.all' file to keep your settings (use '.rst' only if you want a clean factory wipe).
- Under System Maintenance > Management, confirm 'Allow management from the Internet' is unchecked unless restricted by an Access List + 2FA.
DrayTek Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DrayTek .all and .rst firmware files?
The .all firmware image updates DrayOS while retaining your current router configuration, whereas the .rst image updates DrayOS and resets all settings to factory defaults.
How do I protect my DrayTek Vigor router from automated WAN exploits?
Always update to the latest DrayOS firmware immediately when security advisories are published, disable remote WAN web/SSH management (System Maintenance > Management), and disable SSL VPN on port 443 if you are not actively using it.
How do I put a stuck DrayTek Vigor router into TFTP firmware recovery mode?
Power off the Vigor router, hold down the factory Reset button while turning the power back on until the left LEDs blink simultaneously, set your PC to 192.168.1.10, and use the official DrayTek Firmware Upgrade Utility.
