  It takes a special kind of router to have such settings

  Eh, most good quality routers from reputable companies can handle separate VLANs just fine. My old Asus RT-N66U had that capability right out of the box. I use Unifi now, which obviously has that as well, but I’d be surprised to

    I haven’t seen “advanced” settings like this on consumer tplink and asus routers, only on business grade tplinks, when considering these brands. but I also wouldn’t consider those that I often see to be good quality, so there’s that.

    it is first and foremost a

    Hardware issue.

    but also who the fuck wants to have a power hungry PC as the router. old PC, so we can probably count with 80 W at the least

    but also, how the fuck would a PC help with the skill issue?

      It means you don’t know how to make it work. Last I checked, a used N100 all in one PC with dual Ethernet is cheaper than even most brand new consumer routers, and also sips watts.

        also, in my area most people either use the ISP router, or buy the cheapest ones which is around 50-75 eur which there are plenty, and they are already complaining that it’s too expensive

        cheapest n100 I see here is 100 eur: www.amazon.fr/intel-n100/s?k=intel+n100

        I’m not in france.

    You need to readjust your point of view, friend. It’s not a skill issue. It’s a “most people don’t have the kind of experience necessary to even begin to understand what goes on inside the magic internet box” issue. You’re speaking at a completely different level than most people understand.

    1. The average Joe doesn’t possess that capability in the slightest. It’s just Bob from Finance. The only time they interact with a computer in any meaningful capacity is at work, where IT fixes their problems.
    2. The average Joe is someone who declares “the wifi is broken” when they forget the password to their online banking portal.
    3. The average Joe will take their kid’s stick-drifting Nintendo Switch to the Geek Squad at Best Buy and get upsold a Switch 2 instead of listening to their kid and getting it fixed at the local repair shop next door for $50.

    Do you see where I’m going with this?
