Looking for a router with VPN

[aethelwulf]

So I'm looking to buy a new router for our Home/Home office setup. My girlfriend has her own photography business and hired her first employee a few months ago and we would like to set up a nice VPN system (plus our current router kinda sucks). We talked to a friend of our who recommended this combo to satisfy our needs:

Linksys by Cisco RV042 4-port 10/100 VPN Router - Dual WAN

AirPort Extreme Base Station

Personally, I'm inclined not to buy the Apple wireless AP, and would normally go with something more like this:
Cisco Small Business WAP4410N Wireless Access Point

However, my girlfriend does use macs and so does her employee, so I don't know if the Apple might be better for wireless N compatability.

Overall, are these good choices and should I be looking at anything else? I've also looked a little at combined units, but I don't know if that would be better or worse to manage and since it seems the total price will be similar with 1 or 2 units, I'm inclined to go with 2 rather than 1.

Define how you wish to use the VPN system?
The Linksys/Cisco RV0 series is pretty decent, fast, stable. .I have over 60 of them in service. It does "OK" at router to router VPN tunnels. It works well with its built in PPTP VPN server, However....I don't like their IPSec "QuickVPN client" setup.

VPN won't be used a ton, but would be nice to coordinate between Home Office, Photo Studio, and other remote locations. Would only have one to two VPN connections going at any one time.
