Is it possible to plugin a 'VPN Router' into my existing C7000 router, (a dual-router configuration), to create a VPN to use while away from home?
The basic answer to your question is no.
However, you should be able to enable and configure the OpenVPN server feature on your existing C7000v2. Once done, you would install the Open VPN client software on the devices you travel with to connect back to your home network.
