Internet traffice through my home ISP and not the VPN

I will assume you want to say only send data though the router VPN that is destined for your corporate network and send the rest out to the internet.
I have not used that router so I can only provide general guidance. Most routers you need to specify the subnets that go into the vpn tunnel. Many times people just put in 0.0.0.0 which means all. If you were to say have 2 office locations with 2 tunnels you would have to specify what ip were at each location.
What you should be able to do is only specify the subnets that are at the office location and the rest should just go to the internet because they have no place else to go.
The concern would be most companies do not allow this configuration. This is referred to as split tunnel. It means someone from the internet could attack your machine and then use it as a hop off into the corporate network since you are on both networks at the same time. It in effect would bypass any firewall they had since your machine is now acting as a path from the internet into the inside network.
