vpn router ?

Hello everyone
Can someone with more knowledge than I, answer me a few questions please ?
Is it possible to keep the plusnet hub one, and use it for connecting the kids pads/computers Wi-Fi to BBCiplayer and other as well as being the modem/router connected the fibre out BUT for me to connect a new Wi-Fi router to the plusnet one, but for this to be a vpn enabled router.
I realise the Wi-Fi settings would need to be changed to not conflict with each other, but does the second vpn router (connected to plusnet one via cable) still function as a vpn (and devices connected to it) if the final modem (plusnet one) is not vpn (not possible) ?
Sorry that was a bit long winded, but can a vpn provider still work, if the signals you wish to vpn, go through a non vpn device (plusnet one))
Is this what a pass through setting is ?
If it is possible would we then have 2 ssid's one for the adult vpn connection passing throw the plusnet one
(children's Wi-Fi).
Is this possible, or am I just dreaming ?
any help much appreciated.
Thanks

I think that it not possible, if you want advanced features (like VPN and separate SSID's) buy your own kit and leave the hub one in a cupboard as a spare.
Your shopping list
ADSL/VDSL (if on fibre) router
VPN
SSID separation
I would have thought a draytek or ASUS may do all of the above (and more)

Actually yes it is possible, just get yourself a suitable cable router, plug its WAN port into a LAN port of the Hub One and off you go. You may have to change the IP address range on one of the routers so they don't clash, and use a Wi-Fi analyser to make sure the Wi-Fi channels of each router don't clash with each other, or any others in the area.
The techy people will warn about double natting, which with a VPN and some other applications may cause you problems, but until you try you won't know.
