The recommendation is to segregate the devices. Not just stick them in another subnet, and not to put them in another segment with what needs to talk to them being dual-homed with routing preference. There should be a device which can handle ACLs between the IoT devices and the remainder of the

@Michael - to remedy this, I've seen customers deploy things like super flat topologies with VPLSs to tie it all together. It's always fun to have to increase someones's mac table size as their apple TVs were edging out their DHCP servers. I know you're paying me to do this, but an obligatory

OK, I'll narrow this down: We will have a router serving the same subnet in wireless and wire. We'll have a laptop with 2 interfaces, wifi0 and eth0. We'll not do any routing configuration beyond a default. Finally, this explanation is watered down to dilution because I don't have a lot of time

You need to make sure your modem supports 3.1 too, don't forget that. Cox has just recently finished upgrading to all the new 3.1 hardware here, and phoenix tends to be their technology leader market due to being their biggest, so I'd be surprised if comcast has done more rural areas. They

Agreed, if comcast provides a testing server, test against that first. Cox did before, not sure about recently, but speedtest.net isn't bad to use to test either if you pick a correct server. They tend to want to test you against your locale, but as stated, understanding your isp peering egrees
