work for a medium size company. We have a 5508x firewall with IPSEC Remote Access VPN setup on it and an AnyConnect setup too. These work fine when an individual client logs in with client software.
We have a remote warehouse that uses the VPN buy logging the same – as a client.
Sometimes they complain about the speed. We were thinking if we bought a RV260 Remote VPN router that we could just put it at the warehouse and enter our public address and a few credentials and this would improve the speed and simplicity. It is not that simple. So, I have some questions.
Do we need two remote VPN routers, one at the main office and one at the warehouse? Then, do we need a separate Internet connection? Does the ASA act as the VPN router on our side?
I have a simple guide to setup the VPN router, but I unclear about the general setup.
Do I need to setup a site-to-site tunnel , which I don’t know how to do? I barely understand the IPSEC, IKE, Duff-Hillman, AES-192, etc. I imagine both sides have to match?
Anyway, I am not very clear on how the device functions. Do I need two, do I need to attach one to the firewall, what’s the general idea of how this works? Could someone give me a quick bird’s eye overview?

Hi,
Before considering to add a router/firewall on the warehouse and build and L2L IPsec tunnel with the ASA, ensure you don't have a bandwidth issue on the warehouse side (ISP, what is uplink/downlink). If they only sometimes complain about the speed, it may be that at that point the ISP is slower.
