Need to upgrade current wireless router...
E-E
We currently have a NetGear ProSafe FVS318N (Which are not made anymore) and we need to upgrade it to new/current product.
> One of the key issues is that we have field managers who use Windows RDP to remote into their office PCs, so having the ability to configure this (Something which I have recently discovered that not all routers can do... Asus RT-AS3200 is an example).
> I would like stay with NetGear, but would consider any manufacture so long as we can retain the RDP capabiilty.
> Also, must have wireless capability.
Any suggestions?

You should be only allowing access to your office network by VPN . Direct access via the router is usually insecure. Get a good VPN Wireless router (Cisco RV series) to do this.

This router will give you the rdp straight through the router but will also give you VPN ability which as stated by john is more secure then straight through RDP. Not too hard to set up.

As stated before you need a router that supports VPN.
I think D-Link DSR-150N or DSR-250N will fit your needs see detailed spec here

Thank you for your suggestions all of which I will look into, including the VPN part... Will need to do some research on this topic, as I don't have too much experience with VPN's.
> Any "how to do" documents are use small words would be greatly appreciated
I will keep you all posted..

VPN should be IPsec and you need a VPN router for this and a client application. Once done, RDP into the office works great - I do this routinely.
You should engage a consultant to help you set up the VPN. It is not do-it-yourself the first time.
