Hey all, long time no post.
In case anyone is wondering, or cares, I've spent the last 8 months in short sale/new business owner hell... hence the radio silence. However, now I come to you all with a question.

I am running a franchised business with corporate HQ "support" and recently changed over my ISP. HQ maintains a VPN in order to facilitate data communication throughout the nationwide network and thus, each location has a VPN appliance. All clients on each local(store) network has a static IP. There is no "official" support for wireless access in stores.
My current network diagram is as follows:


However, wireless internet access would be very helpful in our day to day operations, not to mention a good service to provide to our customers.
In other words, I want my network to look like this:


When I plug the router in between the Juniper and the cable modem, no traffic can get out from behind the Juniper. I thought to myself it would be a simple matter of setting up a static route on the Netgear to allow traffic to get out however I'm not much of a networking guy... the static route I set does not work.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Soup

The NetGear always does NAT/Masquerade, and since you most likely plug your cable modem into the WAN port of your NetGear WiFi, your packets get "lost in translation" (I know, horrible pun).

Either use your WiFi router as a dumb AP/Bridge (connect only using it's LAN ports, not WAN), or use a different device with route-able ports (like a MikroTik).

Who is your cable internet provider?

Most VPN hardware requires the device have a public IP, so putting a NAT device between the modem and the VPN device won't work.

I would contact your ISP and get another static IP address. Put the VPN device and your office network on one IP and the netgear/wireless on another IP. If your modem only has one LAN port then they should also provide you with a new Business Gateway.

Thanks for you responses guys. I think the first thing I will try will be another cable modem on our second IP.

I'll keep you updated with the results.
