I doubt it's the software on your PC / laptops. Most corporates are still happily runing XP and many have older software than that. Indeed a PC i'm just getting now for the office will be XP not Vista for compatibility reasons.

It probably is a limitation of your router's functionality. VPN's do have an overhead on the network and it's probably just a bit too much effort for the wireless. Since you cannot upgrade the VM supplied router firmware your only, expensive, option would be to purchase another router and see if that makes any difference.
