Setup & Configuration

This section provides examples of how to initially access the router and configure internet access for the most common types of Internet connection.
If the instructions in this quick start guide do not allow you to get online with your ISP or type of Internet connection, contact your dealer for advanced information.

Note
To access the router, your PC will need to either get its IP address using DHCP or have an IP address in the 192.168.1.x  range.
For details on how to change this, please refer to the “Trouble Shooting” section in the User Guide.

Accessing the Router Web Interface
Open a web browser on your PC and type https://192.168.1.1.
The https:// prefix ensures that your connection is encrypted using SSL so that your session data cannot be intercepted. Without that prefix, your data passes in clear text.
You may get a warning from your browser (IE, Chrome, Edge, Safari etc.) about your server (the router) having an invalid certificate. Your browser will demand further confirmation or exception before allowing access. The warnings will look something like these examples.
An example of how to access the router via HTTPS with Mozilla Firefox:

DrayTek-Vigor-2763-Series-VDSL2-Security-Router-7

An example from Microsoft Edge, click “Continue to this webpage” to proceed:

DrayTek-Vigor-2763-Series-VDSL2-Security-Router-8

Most other browsers will present equivalent warnings. In each case, following the prompts/links will allow you to access the router’s web interface. It is still encrypted with SSL/TLS.

Note
This warning appears because the router’s default certificate is ‘self-signed’ rather than issued to you by a certificate authority  who has verified your identity.
A self-signed certificate means that you cannot verify the identity of the server, but as it’s your own local router, that  shouldn’t be an issue – your connection is still encrypted.
The router login prompt will then request a username and password to allow access.

DrayTek-Vigor-2763-Series-VDSL2-Security-Router-9

The factory default login details are:

  • Username: admin
  • Password:  admin

Note
If you cannot access the web interface, please go to the “Trouble Shooting” section in the User Guide to determine the cause of  and solve your problem.

Upon successful login, the router will display the Dashboard, which shows a summary of the router model, WAN status, front panel port status and other information:
