Unless you are sure that the problem with your VPN connection being slow
is your Netgear router, then the problem most likely is you pipe to the
internet.
Remember that your going have about 20% overhead for your VPN
encryption, then depending on what your trying to do, it could be
extremly slow.
A company I do some consulting work for installed Netscreen VPN from one
site to another. Site 1 has a 768 T1 and Site 2 is 1.5/384 ADSL. You
would think it would be plent as most of the data is going from Site 1
to Site 2, but it's too slow. Not only is it slow, when they transfer
large files from one site to another, many times, it will error out.
Because they wanted also to be able to browse without WINS or LMHOSTS
file, I put in 2 Netgear FVM318s. Speeds a tad better (Went from using
3DES to just DES encryption) but no more errors transferring files.
Because it's still so slow, they are now looking at going to a full T1
(1.5) in both locations.
From what you originally posted I have a feeling it's the internet pipe
not the VPN tunnel itself. Good luck on whatever you try.
