Wireless, VPN, router
I have two main routers, probably not idea, but let me explain.
I have a technocolor something or nother from comcast, which is a cable modem/router and has VOip.. unfortuntelly I can not configure too much on this device. So while wireless is enabled, I do not use it.. I cant even disable it. I cant switch to bridge mode or anything.
So I connected a linksys e4200 wireless router... this is on a different subnet, and is configured for wireless, and etc. This is our main device we connect to and all forwards from this device accordingly.
My question, is somehow I want to enable and have the ability to VPN into home...
I dont think natively I can do this, and would have to add to dmz port forward... not sure... To test, I have a Linksys wrt54gs v 5.0. I flashed with DDRT but not sure what to do now, and how to add to infrastructure.... I think adding it as a repeat bridge with same SID and passwords and authentication, but i need thoughts are corerect setup and how to enable and use vpn so i can connect from external

I know what the comcast router is.. its the 10.x.x.1 I can even login, however I can not disable Wireless or advance rules or features... and it is connected LAN to LAN.. e4200 is 192.168.x.x

What do you intend to use for terminating the VPN in the office? That's rather key in this discussion.
What do you mean by terminating VPN?
Like when the session is closed? I am new to this, I know what I need, just dont know how to get there, while utilizing the most secure, least amount of effort, and maintaining best practices and guidliness.
Hardware:
-Techno (Comcast)
-LinkSys e4200
-Linksys Switch
-LinkSys Wrt54GS - DDRT-WRT

I also have an ASA 5505, but it seems to loose its config all the time, and then I cant get anything to work... But it also could be a rookie user error. Which is perfered. DDRT or ASA 5505. I have 80MB download speed. subscribed to 105+
Presumably if the Comcast router has wireless then it's providing NAT and a private subnet. And, if it's on a LAN subnet then you should be able to access it - if you can log in. The access address is likely the same as the gateway address one would use to connect to it.
If all you are doing is using the e4200 for wireless then I would connect it LAN port to LAN port. There is a diagram attached for that.
