You have one of two options.

1. Get an Internet connection installed at the branch office and install a VPN client on the user's computers. You'll need to configure the firewall at the main office if there's no VPN profile already.
2. Get an Internet connection (with a static IP address) installed at the branch office, install a firewall and establish an IKE VPN tunnel between the main office firewall and the branch office firewall.

Whichever way you go, you need a device that will support a VPN, which you currently don't seem to have.

The first option is probably the best, given the small amount of users. It's also the cheaper option, as all you need to do is configure the firewall or replace the Belkin router.
