So i know it may seem a good to put VPN on your router, however it dosent look like your very experienced at this and so i suggest you find another way around putting VPN on, say buy a different router with vpn built-in.

Hi,
Well yes, I guess that maybe you are right; everything is relative. I am certainly not claiming to be an expert. I am able to replace a HD in a PC, partition and reformat it, and then put 2 OSs on it. I also managed to use Remote Access to control a bit of equipment 50 miles away. It keeps crashing, which is why I want to try the vpn.
If the worst came to the worst, I could always put the old Netgear router back on and access the vpn that way.
So, I really should be grateful if you could advise me on whether I need to use the Wizard to configure the router when I have flashed it with the 2 files. I assume that whatever I do to the router wont affect the modem.
Many thanks for you comments and for taking the trouble to reply... and any other thoughts that may be useful !
Cheers
