Can this router establish a vpn tunnel to another AC56U, enabling both locations to appear to be on the same network?

VPN is possible with it according to Asus's site but not sure about making them work as one network. http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTAC56U/specifications/

Yes, the device has site-to-site vpn ability as one router acting as a vpn server and the other acting as a vpn client

As far as I know the main difference is the number of simultaneous VPN tunnels. But both these routers shouldn't be an option as they're both EOL. The WRVS4400N has been replaced by the RV180W and the RV220W is being replace by the RV320W but IMHO the support for these small business routers is crap. There are still a lot of known bugs not solved for the RV220W....

I believe you can. But to be honest I'm currently running DD-WRT on it (which I know for a FACT will let you do it, I use DD-WRT on another router to do just that).

No its saying it will duplicate your pcs mac for outbound traffic. Some isps used to only support 1 pc setups. Pretty much outdated functionality anymore as all isps I've used allow home routers.

ehternet hub, switch, router...as long as the device is in the same subnet or there are proper ACL's in place to make it happen between subnets, it'll work as well.

I don't know. It uses an ethernet input, however, so it may work since I would assume the router is just a passthrough.

Correct. The configuration is a bit complicated, but it's a fantastic router with great features if you know how to set it up.

Short answer: no. Read on for the long answer. xaric, you are a bit harsh. Mode 1 is documented in the manual. An AP doesn't typically do NAT, they just pass data to the router, and the router does the NAT. Over here:

I remember reading at the time I bought the device, that it was possible to connect more than one unit on a network. I believe there are some steps that have to be taken for it all to work.

If you plugged in both units and connected the smaller of the two units to your router with an ethernet cable then it should work. No setup was required for me once I understood the small one is wired to the router and the big one goes far away where I want the wifi coverage improved. I had done the opposite (big one wired to router and small one far away where I needed improved coverage). The other thing is to try different power outlets, and look at what the lights are telling you about signal strength coming to the remote unit.

Yes. I have confirmed this by looking at the client list on my main router. So, with this unit attached to your network you have 2 wi-fi SSIDs but only 1 IP subnet.

I am not really sure, I have only setup for three different locations at one time.

If you mean Truly separate clients, then no, I doubt it since there is only one access list. You can however make a mock-up of that type of setup by making to separate logins between the 2, and limiting the access on the client side. I'm not sure why you'd want to though, since they will connect to the same network on the router. If I am understanding your question correctly. What the others are describing is a network, and an access point type of setup. NOT 2 distinctly separate networks. Just 2 different connection types that give you some combination of internet, and network access that you can custom filter to some extent.

Any time you mix brands you get into unsupported territory. That said as long as the upset settings are the same on both ends you should be ok but no promises. Fortune should have a Soho router similar to this though, why not go that route and have one throat to choke for tech support?

The power of this unit is very strong, but it does not live well with a router that wants to refresh the IP lease. Check with Amped Wireless tech support to see if the Router you are using will work with it. Th Amped AC2000 is a wireless access point that has good range too and is happy on any network. good luck John

No, this device converts one cable into two separate connections for two separate devices and you need two separate connections to your router at the other end.

Yes, just be sure to give them separate names, like "MyNet-East" and "MyNet-West". I have two of these and set them to static IP addresses in a range not assigned by my router's DHCP host so I can always get at them to check status, update firmware, and so on.
