Re: Pleas help selecting a Wireless Router with VPN and firewall

How does the wireless internet connect? Is there a wireless modem that they give/sell you?

A normal wireless router will not be able to pick up a WISP connection, so you'll need a wireless modem. That wireless modem will have some sort of wired port on it that you can then connect to a router.

If you needto have a VPN on that side of the connection, get a router like the Linksys WRT54GL and flash it with DD-WRT firmware. This is the cheap way of doing things but it works very well. The VPN edition of DD-WRT will allow you to do a PPTP or OpenVPN connection through your router, assuming Frontier is giving you a public IP address...
