A friend of mine decided to install his business-related server in his home. He has two ISP at home. One ISP provide 500mb+ of bandwitch, and second is solid 100mb for failover.
Currently he have a mess of old routers in his house, two first floors are served with first ISP, two second are served with another, the networks are even not connected.
Devices he have are: 2 NetGear R7000 and one Xiaomi AX3600
The server will be accessed from 3 separate branches of his business, the server will connect itself to each of them through VPN, there will be RDP access through this VPNs to the server and it's very important home network would never be accessed from the server.
So, the needed configuration is as I see:
1. Both providers connect to single entry router.
2. His "business" server connects by wire to the entry router on the separate isolated "work" VLAN
3. Other ports of the entry router are allocated to "home" VLAN, with switches and additional routers on the floors for wifi coverage.
Is it possible to may be install some third-party firmware on NetGear R7000 to use it as the entry router for configuration described above? If not, what should he purchase for it to do the job.
I have old Asus RT-AC66U with Merlin lying somewhere. Would it do the job?
