A point in right direction to educate myself on UnManaged switch
I'm new to the switch thing and I bought a GS108V4 to add more lan lines and to run another wireless access point. I'm hung up on not wanting to run a straight line and want to make 3-4 separate group...
Neither your router (wild guess) nor the switch does support a correct isolation of such two networks. Just different IP subnets don't bring any network segregation. Where do you intend to run any kind of routing? It's not so simple as the school theory implies.
Even if your router does offer multiple network ports, if your old re-purposed router has multiple network ports, if your un-manged switch offers multiple ports: Most consumer and soho devices operate on one network, one LAN, one IP subnet, one broadcast domain.
