I have an existing home office network with a special Actiontec DSL modem to support 20 meg down and 5 meg up speeds. The modem has 4 separate gig LAN ports. My network has several printers, servers, and PCs using a combination of DHCP and static IP addresses. The modem supports DHCP, port forwarding (which I am using) as well as wireless 'n' networking along with other features. I would like to keep all this as is.
Can a Cisco RV110W be configured so that it just looks like another device on my existing network with either a DHCP or a static IP address on my home network? If I can do this, can I also set it up to receive all VPN requests so I can connect to my home network from any remote location? I can configure my existing modem to port forward all VPN requests to the RV110W address.
I really need a VPN device on my home network that will allow me to connect remotely, receive a DHCP address on my home network and then act as though it is just another computer on my network so I can access all the printers, servers, PCs, etc and use my VPN connection to send out internet traffic through the Actiontec modem. Can I do this with the RV110W? It would also be a plus to be able to enable the networking on this so I could have 2 wireless networks.
I've tried 3 types of VPN hardware and software combinations so far and none of them have worked. The ones that want to replace my Actiontec do not work because they don't support the 5 meg upload speeds. I cannot use PPTP on Windows 7 due to the firewalls where I am currently doing some work. I have to use IPsec or perhaps SSL to get out of this remote network so I can connect to my home network.
The Actiontec modem gets a dynamic IP address so I use services like DynDns to associate a domain name with the static address on the DSL modem. Then a use a NAT network behind the modem.
Any experts on the RV110W that can address these questions?
Thank you...
