Good Day everyone...
I need some help with split I on my Asus router, model RT-3200ac.
I can program and configure my router to use a vpn service with a vpn provider, either by pptp, or open vpn (my preferred choice). What I would like to do is the following...
a) I like the stock firmware on the Asus RT-3200 router (therefore NOT reflash)
b) I would like all my wired LAN connections (lan ports on the back of the router) and my extended router switch (8 port d-link) that is using of the Asus Lan ports, to route at all times through my preconfigured open vpn provider (I understand how, and it works perfectly).
c) Here is my problem... I do not know how to allow my wi-fi connections to connect to the same Asus RT-3200 router, and bypass the open vpn connection, and simply bypass the openvpn vpn provider and access the internet directly (as if there wasn't any openvpn connection in place).
I do not want to set up a second router (my internet service provider uses the Sagemcom 5250 {which they call the Bell Homehub 2000}, and has a firmware control over the outputting WAN port that is monopolized for there IPTV Television service {you cannot use the wan port in the traditional sense of the word, like most ISP's}).
For what it's worth, connected directly through my lan ports (and the 8 port router) are a QNap NAS TS-201, 2x apple TV devices gen2, 3 smart televisions (non 4K lol).
Connected through my Sagemcom 5250 (lan port 1 feeds my Asus RT-3200AC router) Asus RT-3200AC Router, lan port 2 my VoIP phone service provider, lan port 3 my slingbox, lan port 4 my Samsung Surveillance system.
Ideally, I would like to turn of the wifi on my Sagemcom 5250 (located in the basement where are my Hardware is located). On the main floor I have my Asus RT-3200AC router set up and broadcasting a nice clear wifi signal. Connected by wifi, are the various laptops, tablets, cellphones, and a guest wifi.
So, in a nutshell, I would appreciate and solutions to basically help me configure my Asus Router to allow NON OpenVPN wifi connections to the internet, and all LAN connections to be routed to openvpn through my vpn provider.
Cheers,
