How to make permanently 2 connections (VPN, normal) also for wifi?

Hello,

i am a R7000 running official firmware. Here is my current needs and set up.

R7000 is my main router connected to WAN (my modem). Most devices connects to R7000 via LAN and wifi(wifi_main). A 2nd router Cisco E3200 (running latest tomato advanced) is used to connect few devices to internet through VPN by both LAN and wifi (wifi_vpn). Both router are not on the same subnet and I am fine with that.

now I wish to remove E3200 router (VPN one) and use the R7000 to handle both via LAN and wifi the VPN and direct connection.

i tried to understand Vlan and virtual wifi and other things but I must admit I got confused on how to do that: in short:

Eth0-2 go out direct internet via wan.

Eth3 goes out via VPN 

2 wifi signal one direct out and the other via VPN.

can someone explain how to do it simply with Tomato or Ddwrt?

thank you very much.

As far as my knowledge, I think this is not possible in DD-WRT.

Thanks

This is not clear in terms of what you actually want.

You have seemingly decided on some very advanced things with little information.

I would suggest starting with the basics. Configure your router for the basics to ensure everything is fresh. Add the VPN in the appropriate tab (OpenVPN perhaps?) and test. Now everything is going through the VPN right? On the VPN tab a window should exist for iprouting where you can put an address for a static ip (198.162.25.135/32) then change one computer to this ip (manually not DHCP). Now that computer should use the VPN and others should bypass directly to net.

Is this basically what you want? More, be more specific.
