Network switch selection for VLAN design
I currently have an unmanaged network consisting of a 24 port switch, 3 - 8 port switches, a Netgear RS series router and a cable company supplied modem. Several IOT devices reside on this network, ...
If I repurpose some old routers as APs, I could potentially hook up the IOT devices and use the guest network on the RS600 to isolate these from the rest of the network.
Again: Neither the Guest network nor the IoT network of the RS600 is available on the Ethernet LAN. Sso no way to connect a Wireless Access Point.
Unless one of your spare units can be repurposed as a Wireless Client, so becoming a bridge, allowing to establish a network connection. And that port can be connected to an access port on a Smart or Managed switch - this could create an Ethernet VLAN, being for the guest network, or an IoT VLAN.
