Redesign home LAN for IoT
I am looking to redesign my current network for my home to accommodate these new IoT devices and want to maintain a secure way in isolating that traffic from my private LAN. Some of the IoT devices w...
For the AP, I would recommend the WAC730. The WAC730 supports VLAN wherein you could assign a wireless network for the loT network as well as for the Private network that are broadcast at the same time. Also, the WAC730 supports PoE. Kindly check its data sheet here.
Here below is a network diagram that I recommend:
From the network diagram above, the ports connecting the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite and the GS110TP on the 2nd floor will be configured as tagged ports so that it will become a trunk link. The same goes to the ports connecting the GS110TP on the 1st floor and the GS110TP at the 2nd floor. Tagging the ports is needed in order to identify which VLAN the packet belongs to.
The ports connecting the GS110TP on the 2nd floor to the RN104 and the WAC730 will be configured as tagged ports as well because both RN104 and WAC730 are VLAN-aware devices. However, the rest of the ports on the GS110TP (both on the 1st and 2nd floor) connected to the desktops and Arlo Base Stations will be set as untagged ports because the desktops and the Arlo Base Stations are not VLAN-aware devices.

Hi gdlgiii,
On the GS108E switch, you need to use 802.1Q VLAN in order to configure one port to be a member of 2 or more VLANs. As I understand your initial post, you will be connecting the Arlo Camera base station and the Roku to the GS108E switch, am I right? The ports where the Arlo Camera base station and the Roku will be set as access ports because as far as I know, the Arlo Camera base station and the Roku are not VLAN-aware devices.
