When directly connected to a computer you are able to access the DrayTek status page at http://192.168.2.1/. This allows you to get your VDSL Line Stats.

To achieve this when the DrayTek Vigor 130 is connected to a MikroTik router with a live PPPoE session, do the following: Under IP , add a new  DHCP client on the interface connected to the Vigor 130 m...
