| I have a Medialink N router. What do I need to do to make it work? |

Quoted:
Read the manual? Did. Didn't even find a reference to VPN. I'm thinking I'll have to change the firmware or something. You can check for yo' self as well. Maybe I missed something. manual |

Quoted:
what are you trying to do? make it be a vpn endpoint, so no matter where you are in the world, you can get home? or have it connect two lans over the internet, so it looks like one big happy lan? Endpoint. Mainly to have a secure connection when using open wifi. |

Endpoint. Mainly to have a secure connection when using open wifi. buy this instead. cheaper and works better. I use it constantly. trivial to set up on my iPad and laptop, slightly harder on my android tablet. |

If you want a VPN tunnel from one site to another use a router that is flashable with DD-WRT (or something similar)
Or head on over to ebay and pick up an ASA 5505 (can be expensive and still have a shitty base license or checkpoint UTM on the cheap though its a gamble on what license the checkpoint will have sometimes. Or setup a janky computer toss, esxi, hyper-v, xen, kvm etc on it and run a firewall virtual appliance. Run the existing wireless router as a simple AP. check the DD-WRT database for a supported router HERE PFSense m0n0wall endian Astaro are some firewalls that you can run virtualized just fine |

ETA: My router isn't compatible. I think that's the route I'd like to take in the near future though. Thanks! |

Maybe I missed something. manual Page 8, par 2.1C. that says See Section 4. But it appears this router is NOT a VPN server. It can connect two LANs with PPTP or L2TP. Your other option is to port forward 3389 to an inside machine then use a dynamic DNS service. That will let you use Remote Desktop (or any RDP client) to access that machine, provided it's on of course. From there you can get to the rest of your internal network. OR build a Linux box as a router/VPN server (2 NICs). Or a VMWare appliance. |
