Comment on Holiday Upgrade Disasters

  I am certainly not an expert by any stretch. But here are my reasons: Ability to isolate some “sketchy” IOT devices into an IOT only vlan, where they are not allowed to access the rest of the network, only the internet and incoming traffic from the other vlans. Having a “clean” vlan/subnet for servers and services where I can give out static IPs without worrying about collisions with client devices

    Ah, nice. Very cool, very reasonable.

    And you can do this all with a consumer grade router maybe? Or do you need to have like a small PC-like device running special software that acts like a router, that handles this?

      I have a Unifi router (Unifi cloud Gateway Fiber to be precise), which one you could argue is on the higher end of consumer hardware. But there are also more consumer oriented routers with that capability.
