Hello, I would like to establish a data link between our main headquarters and our foreign offices (3). I have 250Mbps internet link for the headquarters and 100Mbps for the offices.

I would like to use secure VPN tunnels to route IP traffic so that the offices can access the servers at the headquarters (with specific address range). If possible, I would also like to route our IP telephony traffic.

"Direct" VPN access may also be required for some users from their personal computers.

All options must be wired and preferably rack-mounted..

The question is:
What hardware should I purchase for the main headquarters and offices?

I found these: Compare Product

This is the only router that is for rack

Use this for headquarters

https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/omada-router-wired-router/er8411/

and this for remote office, cheap and pretty good router

https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/omada-router-wired-router/er605/

this router is pretty fast for Ipsec site to site, about 250-300 Mbps is mine experience. but not very fast with OpenVPN.

Wireguard about 100 Mbps.

make sure you get v2, v1 is EOL but still in stores

both routers can be used stand alone, but I would recommend using an Omada controller.

Alternatively, this one in the remote offices, it is more expensive but slightly more powerful.

This router only has v1 so here you are sure of what you are getting. It's a great router

ER7206 I would stay away, v1 of this has very slow IPsec site to site. v2 has arrived but you never know what you will get, most likely you will get v1 when you order.
