I am setting two ADSL networks at separate branch offices and want them connected through VPN. Each office is running about 5 computers peer to peer.
At the moment each office is running simple Internet sharing through an email server using USB ADSL modems.
I am planning to use 2 Netgear VPN Firewalls (FVS318) and change the USB modems to RJ45 ones with VPN passthrough. (Most seem to be routers with 4 RJ45 ports anyway)
One of the offices also has a laptop and has a RJ45 port and wireless capability. I was thinking of getting a wireless modem with RJ45 ports for the little extra it costs; to connect the laptop, but this may complicate things as the laptop wouldn’t be running through the firewall. I may just opt for the wired option.
Anyone used these FVS318’s, are they ok?
Also what about connecting the modem/router to the FVS318 as both have DHCP capabilities?
Any better suggestions welcome.
