I have two routers, one wireless and one that has a built in VPN Firewall. I want my wireless clients to access the VPN and I want any VPN client to have access to the wireless clients. Will this work?
wRouter --> Firewall/VPN/Router --> Cable Modem
Or do I have to do this:
wRouter --> Cable Modem <--Firewall/VPN/Router (FVR)
Both will be able to connect to the Internet with the second configuration, and all clients will be able to see the wireless clients (so long as they are in the same subnet), but I don't think they'll be able to communicate over the VPN. In fact, I'm pretty sure.
With the first configuration, I'm hoping that the wRouter simply acts like a switch and uses the FVR as it's default gateway. Can I simply go with a Static IP setup and plug the FVR's IP address as the wRouter's WAN IP address?
