After reading this discussion, I need to improve my security of Internet of unsecured Things (IoT). If everything was wireless, I could put them on a guest wireless network SSID(s). However, my old DirecTV box, Arlo camera system, and Roku are connected via ethernet. (I could switch the Roku to wireless on the guest network). My understanding is I need to create a virtual LAN (VLAN) for the IoT devices connected via ethernet. The ASUS router does not support VLAN. My research mentions adding a managed switch that supports VLAN could be a solution. I am not sure if a switch would be placed before or after the ASUS router.
Here is a picture of my current set-up (sorry for my awful writing): 35585 The ASUSs WiFi appears to be sufficient power to have good signal for the house. The only time I will need to turn-on WiFi at the second router is when I need to have WiFi in the backyard and the guest cottage, which is infrequent. Does anyone have any suggestions, that are hopefully easy, on how to improve the security of the Arlo, Roku, and DirecTV? Thanks in advance! +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Network small.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35585| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Nelson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58158 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115017
