Can someone give some comprehensive help with these possible network configurations?

Question

I have these possible configurations in mind specifically...
http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/4590/networkih0.png
Router 1 is a Linksys WRVS4400N and Router 2 is a WRT54G.

My question is which network is a better solution, with reguards to security and usability? And is either configuration feasable (or is ther another solution?)? I have some requirements...
[1] Linksys QuickVPN to connect to Router 1 (able to access Server 1)
[2] Need to be able to access shared files on Computer 3 as well as the printer.

Now, I know that WEP is easily cracked and I would definitely like to isolate a possibly comprimised Router 2 from my more secure Router 1 network. For this reason I thought configuration B might be the better solution? However I am not sure if Router 1 can be configured how I would like (able to connect through VPN and access Computer 3).

Well, If I can get any help or informed dialogue on this problem I would greatly appreciate it!

Answer 1

Ok, there is a major problem with your two configurations. Two routers will not work on the same network, unless one of the routers is actually an access point or can be used in repeater mode.

Also I see no computers accessing your network using WPA. so why do you want one router WPA and the other WEP, as anyone still wanting to hack your wireless connection would just connect to the WEP router/access point.

Answer 2
