What are the top rated wireless routers for VPN IPsec connections and ease of use?

For lower-end home or small business use, the Cisco 850 series.  You'll likely want to go with the model 851W.  http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps380/products_data_sheet0900aecd8028a9a9.html

Best thing for personal internet security is a NAT router.  So long as you don't install any spyware or adware infected programs or applications from unknown sources the NAT router will stop bad traffic on the net from even seeing your computer. I recommend the Linksys WRT54G

PGP Universal Series 500 seems to be the answer to what you are looking for!  \n\n"PGP Universal Series 500 offers comprehensive, integrated enterprise security for all encryption applications covering all types of internal users, proprietary information, and external partners."\n\nhttp://www.pgp.com/products/universal/index.html\n(this link is for the system overview)\n\nhttp://www.pgp.com/images/wdefe_diagram.jpg\n(this link has a neat picture of the whole thing)\n\nHope this helps!

A virtual private network sits behind a NAT device such as a router or residential gateway. The device has the public IP adress while each computer on the network has a private IP adress. This makes each computer behind the NAT device basically invisable to the World Wide Web. All information to and from the networked computers goes throgh the NAT device. \n\nI highly reccomend Belkin software for routers and wireless access points. Belkin has a few differant types of network devices, and which you chcoose will depend on what you can afford and what you wish to achieve. I runn a bussiness, so I am using the highest grade devices, router and adapters. The system is called Belkin Pre-N, with N standing for the level above 8o2.11g stamdard and is campatable with 802.11b and 802.11g devices and supports WPA security encryption of data flow, has two hardware firewalls which are compatable with the windows software firewall, has strong controls on use of service, and parental and employee browsing and chat controls. It also has abilities to eccelerate both your connection speed by 800% with my connection maintaining an amazing speed of 108Mpbs, and has a 6000% increased coverage area for laptops. If I choose I could sit down the street or at a neighbors four houses down and connect to my own network, all without any worry of others getting into my network or using my connection without putting in a password. \n\nLinksys has a good product too, but I had severl connection drops which entailed having to push the reset button on the router in order to get the connection up and running again. While I understand this may have been a hardware failing, I have answered a few questions about the linksys routers doing this often. \n\nYou will need a router and adapters for each computer on your network. The router needs to be configured for WPA encryption not just WEP as WEP is simply not that secure. Then the key used for the router needs to be typed into each adapter interface in order for a connection to be made wirelessly. \n\nNOw, a virtual private network is not just a wireless network but can also be a wired network. I needed to add that so there is no misunderstanding. \n\nI hope this has helped you understand better what you were wanting to know about VPN's. Good luck. :-)

I agree that a Linksys is best, specifically WRT54G. I personally have one and love the features and the interface. It covers all the bases, although if you have a large area to cover with signal you may want to at a later date buy the huge Linksys antennas for the router. I have never used them but supposedly they greatly increase the range.

it depends on choosing a VPN solution over the internet, first you should know what function you need to run your VPN?\nif you have a local network, and a remote computer want to access this network (this is the most commun of vpn) to have a full access of your local network the best choice is to use encapsulation by using PPTP (Point to Point Protocol) or L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol), the first is easier to install but the second is more secure when using it with IPSec..\nthis kind of VPNs which you can install in your own.. also there is other kinds but it still need that your NSP (network service provider) can offer the service of VPN\n\nyou can find more on the following website:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vpn

Linux, Unix, Windows, most all modern ones. Just have to be able to route IP and use NAT. DHCP, and firewalling also help, but not required.

You need a router that can act as a VPN 'endpoint.'  Your router doesn't do that.  See the link below for a list of Linksys routers that can be endpoints (and other related information).\n\nHowever, yif you are running Windows XP you should be able to have one PC connect to the company VPN and have all the other use that connection.  They would connect through the PC that is running the VPN.  Use Internet Connection Sharing to do this.  See the second link below.

These are the two that recommend to everyone. \nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Hey pal,\n\nIn my opinion Linksys is better than the other wireless netwoking device.\nSpecially becuase its under the Cisco certification company.\n\nCiao,

..Hi..I would use the D-Link DFL-80 and the D-Link DI-804HV for the VPN. They both work good together and setup is easy. Be sure to update the firmware before configuring. Use Norton Anti-virus on the computers but not the Internet Security...\nkind regards!!

the number of router is the first thing to consider.. for a small network and and simple topology only RIPv1 or v2 can works very well!\nbut if you have a complex topology.. EIGRP is the best one to choose.\n\nalso you need to know which protocols are supported by your routers, you can't run EIGRP on a non cisco router for exemple.\n\nalso the capacity of your routers, OSPF or EIGRP need more pwerful routers then RIP for exemple\n\nhope this can help

Netgear makes a great router.  \n\nI always recommend going wired whenever you can.  Speed and reliability are sacrificed for convenience when you go wireless.  But going wireless would work.  And you're going to be slowed down to the speed of your DSL connection anyway.

IPSec and SSLv2 are really good secure protocols.

Yep, VPN.  Very good!
