Hi there !
I have two working setup for a VPN tunnel into my company LAN. Basically, the two options for a laptop are:
- VPN-Client - WLAN - *
2a. WLAN - PowerLine - C1710 VPN - PowerLine - * 2b. FE - C1710 VPN - PowerLine - *
both * - DSL router - 6/1 line -- IN -- E1 - PIX 515
Option 1 feels ways faster. At a first look, the double PowerLine piece seems to be the culprit but it should still be faster then my 1 MBit uplink and the E1 links. IIRC, the connection is faster on another machine (2b) using the PowerLine only once but I haven't tested it lately. This may blame the PowerLine again but what about the performance of a 1710 (VPN module installed) in this context? Can the router be the problem?
I'm planning to replace the consumer DSL router by a 1841 soon. The VPN tunnel will also terminate here. I think I can expect a better performance then?
TIA
