The branch office does not have a server, only workstations. The vpn
router is wireless and has two separate ip addresses. 192.168.x.x as the
gateway for the wired, 172.x.x.x for the wireless.

That makes no sense. The device should have a single address on the LAN and
a single address on the Internet. The VPN Device should sit on the edge of
the Network just like a Firewall. The "wired" -vs- "wireless" is totally
irrelevant,...they are only two different types of "medium",..they are not
two different networks.

A VPN Router is really just a Firewall or Router that also has VPN
capability. Whether it is a Firewall or Router is determined by whether or
not is does "NAT" at the same time.
