I need to set up a VPN between 2 offices that are 8 miles apart. At our main office we have a Linksys RV082 VPN Router. The new site needs to be able to connect to the server at the main office and also needs wireless capability.
see that Linksys has a new Wireless G VPN router (model # WRV54G). Does anyone have any experience setting up a VPN on the WRV54G? The VPN setup on the RV082 seems pretty straightforward so I am trying to keep this as simple as possible.

My other option is to buy a 2nd RV082 and a wireless access point for the offsite location.

any thoughts?

thanks, malaize2
 
if the router has IPSec capability with preshared keys, use that one. very safe. all you need to do is enter local and remote tunnel endpoints (public IP's of the routers) , enter a complex (alphanumeric + strange symbols) key and presto, the tunnel is there
 
Thanks for the response pmf71.

I plan on using a second RV082 and the WAP54G for the wireless capability.

thanks,

Let me know if things work out, always interesting to hear if it worked or not.
