Re: VPN/Firewall keeps losing connection
Not the simplest of home networks is it?

You don't really need the netgear VPN/Firewall for a start, and your using a wgr-614 router as an access point, so three routers in total. Lot's of things that could go wrong.

First thing to check is are you using the WAN port of the 614 or one of the LAN ports to link back to the Netgear Firewall/VPN, If you using WAN port, then that;s going to complicate things, because your essentially spliting of a private network into another private subnetwork.

Don't suppose you'd like to do the diagram again would you? only this time with IP address/ranges for all the equipment on the network. May help to locate the failure point.

You really need to sort yourself out with a decent networking book, read it and learn from it, instead of plugging things in and hoping they'll work.

As I said again, loose the VPN/Firwall, it's really meant so that remote workers can connect to a network remotely, or so that two private networks can be joined together. Your getting absolutely nothing from it.
