thanks for your reply dsenette I think he uses software called "conectivity VPN"..so your basically saying its usually more likely his companies VPN router and there client rather than our router?vpn's are generally more affected by the router that's hosting them and the connecting client...alot less by the router you're connecting from...

the vpn specific routers are designed to facilitate you allowing a vpn IN to your network...they don't really have a methodology for facilitating a VPN OUT of your network (to my knowledge)...the client side of the vpn is controlled by the client (usually the client software)..
you may notice a bit better performance from an upgrade but i would suspect that this performance would be better attributed to the quality of the router...not it's vpn status

oh ok so basically a VPN router would be more for if we have a VPN network coming INTO our house rather than going out to someone elses (his companies) VPNi can't say one way or another if it will help your situation...but here's the difference between the classes of routers you're talking about...

some of the newer fancier routers do have options for QOS (Quality Of Service) which COULD allow you to give network preference to VPN traffic...if you know how to set up QOS that is....so that all VPN traffic gets priority over anything else on the pipe (music dl's, surfing, email, etc...)...but this doesn't guarantee success

from the wall to the modem, from the modem to the hub, from the hub to the router and also from the hub to your dad's comptuer with the vpn stuff...
i'm not sure if this would work but it might allow your dad to connect through the modem instead of the router without losing connectivity to the rest of the house...
i can see a few reasons for this not to work...but you can get a cheap hub for 40 bucks or less..and if it doesn't work you could return it
