My mom's company bought a Linksys WRT54G so she can bring her laptop home and access her company files through a VPN client. When she signs on she has to go through a VPN client. Her IT guy messed with the router before she brought it home where I just set it up...He set it up and when I look at the local network signals from her laptop it shows up that it is secure. I want to know if I get my own laptop, would I be able to access the router or would I need to log into the VPN (which I wouldn't be able to do for her companies safety reasons). If this is the case I am pissed, cause I pay for the DSL and just let my mom share it for work. I want to be able to get my own use out of it. If I did get my own laptop and shared the router, would her IT guy be able to see my download history and things if they ever ask for the router back?
Any help would be appreciated.
