3 WRV200 routers to create a 3 node WAN using VPN connections

I have looked through some of the other posts to see if this question had been asked before, and I didnt see anything.

I have 3 WRV200 that I want to install in 3 cities.

I want each router to have its own Internet connection from the local ISP.

I then want each router to connect to the other 2 routers and create a 3 node WAN using VPN connections.

This is what I think I need.  I am hoping somone will correct me.

WRV200-CA

192.168.1.0 - CA Local LAN

192.168.1.1 Default Gateway

255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask

192.168.1.10 Static Assigned for Printer

192.168.1.11 Static Assigned for Printer

192.168.1.12 Static Assigned for Printer

192.168.1.13 Static Assigned for Printer

192.168.1.101 - 120 DHCP addresses for workstations

WRV200-NYC

192.168.2.0 - NYC Local LAN

192.168.2.1 Default Gateway

255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask

192.168.2.10 Static Assigned for Printer

192.168.2.11 Static Assigned for Printer

192.168.2.12 Static Assigned for Printer

192.168.2.13 Static Assigned for Printer

192.168.2.101 - 120 DHCP addresses for workstations

WRV200-LI

192.168.3.0 - LI Local LAN

192.168.3.1 Default Gateway

255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask

192.168.3.10 Static Assigned for Printer

192.168.3.11 Static Assigned for Printer

192.168.3.12 Static Assigned for Printer

192.168.3.13 Static Assigned for Printer

192.168.3.101 - 120 DHCP addresses for workstations

I know how to get the public IP address that is assigned to the broadband modem by each of the ISPs.

Do I have to connect to each of the other public IP addresses to create this 3 location WAN?

I dont think this is the best way since the IP address might change since it is assigned by the ISP via DHCP.

Should I create a 192.168.4.0 network with a 255.255.255.248 subnet mask. and give each router its own address within the .4 network?  Im not sure where to do this if its different from the local LAN IP addresses listed above.

Do I have to have 2 cable modems at each location in order to create a point to point connection with the other 2 routers?

It seems like I should be able to send 2 seperate VPN signals over the same cable modem in order to connect with the other 2 routers.

If 192.168.x.x is non routable, how is a PC at 192.168.1.101 going to route through to the local cable modem and connect to the cable modem that is in NYC, and then print to the printer located at 192.168.2.11

Ultimately I want to:

1. print to any printer at any of the 3 locations.

2. Remote Desktop into any workstation at any of the 3 locations.

3. Connect to the Internet via a public WiFi hotspot and use my laptop that would have some type of software that would allow me to connect to any of the 3 LANs.

Thank you in advance.

Appendix D of the RVS4000 admin guide has an example of configuring a site-to-site VPN tunnel between 2 routers that have dynamic WAN IP addresses. For your scenario, you can configure a site-to-site tunnel between each pair of WRV200 routers.
