I recently purchased a wired only business router that does not have wifi or openvpn. I wanted to add both to the network so I disabled DHCP on the 2nd router and connected an ethernet cable from the main routers lan4 to the second router (an asus rt-n16 currently running tomato). Once I did that I successfully added wifi to the network.
I managed to also get the VPN working but to do that I ran another ethernet cable from the main routers lan3 port to the second routers WAN and setup a port forward on the main router to the asus WAN IP. Everything appears to be working fine but I don't know if this is really the proper way of doing this.
What do you guys think? Is this going to cause performance issues for me?
