Network configuration for multi router vpn houselhold

[brubaker88]

Network configuration n66u, actiontec v1000 & airport extreme

I have an Actiontec v1000 ADSL modem/router this is connected to the WAN port of my airport extreme which is WAN connected to my N66u which is running Tomato 1.28

I have everything mostly working the way that I want it. My N66u is VPN client connected to StrongVPN using a PPTP connection. My airport is my non VPN connected wifi. The wireless on the actiontec is set the same as the airport. The problem I am having is that I would like only 1 router (the actiontec) to assign IP addresses...the only way I have been able to get the VPN client to work however is if I let the n66u assign an IP outside the pool that the actiontec uses. The actiontec is assigning 192.168.1.60-100 and the n66u 192.168.1.10-40 I know this is probably not enough info, but maybe what I'm attempting isn't possible, so I thought I'd start here.

Thanks,
B

Keeping It Simple

If you want to keep it simple and have only a single router look at the custom modified Tomato OS from Sabai Technology.

It will allow you to run a dual gateway setup on a single router. You assign by IP if a device connects locally or using a VPN. You can change it on the fly by accessing the router's setup screen from a PC. The current version of their software is set up to work especially well with StrongVPN.

If you really are using the VPN and need maximum through put Sabai Technology is also offers an Accelerator to be used in conjunction with certain supported routers. Moves the VPN processing off the router. This device has worked very well for me.

Sabai Technology is a pleasure to deal with. Their technical support is the best I have ever experienced for any product.
