Is there such a Wifi router that also has a built-in L2TP/IPsec VPN client? I want to share a VPN connection from multiple wifi clients but without having to setup VPN on each and individual client.

What you want is a VPN router. DLink makes several like this one here. I'm certain Netgear and Linksys make them as well, they are often used by remote offices to connect to a larger corporate network.

It was pointed out to me that I should just include the product search link for the full line of VPN routers: http://www.dlink.com/search/?qry=vpn%20router – ChargerIIC Jan 5 at 4:31
I cannot find information that suggests that, e.g. DIR 330, can connect to a remote L2TP/IPsec server and allow wireless clients to access internet via the remote VPN server – Alex Jan 5 at 6:24

I can understand the confusion as the VPN router has two modes - a client mode that achieves the goals you are discussing and a host mode that allows VPN connections to be made to your network. From the feature list: PPTP/L2TP Server/Client You can also download the manual here. Page 32 shows the settings you would need to change. – ChargerIIC Jan 5 at 13:35
found out that DD-WRT can also do this (and some other "generic" router firmware products). – Alex Jan 9 at 10:06
