Isolate IOT LAN PORT
I need three separate LANs Will hardwire satellite to router using LAN port 1. 1) Need to isolate my Ethernet only Solar panel inverter on an IoT LAN at the Router level that cannot access a...
Appears there is (a lot) of confusion. Why do you think about putting (wired) or wireless TVs on that network?
Is there any IPTV (like live TV) available on your ISP network? What else do you have in mind to be operated on your IoT subnet?
Technically, you have four VLAN, IP subnets, and SSIDs available. Don't worry to much about the default which allows to have the first VLAN predefined for simplicity.
What is the projected total Internet bandwidth to start with, how much Internet bandwidth you intend to have available, and how much total Internet bandwidth is available possibly from your ISP?
We don't have IPTV, just basic cable and internet. Xfinity box is connected via wifi. We could use coax, but wifi works fine.
We don't need a lot of bandwidth. We do fine with 150 Mbps or less. I can't see paying for speeds we don't need. $130 a month is already too much
I currently have two routers with "double NAT " with the financial computer behind the second one, but because the family wireless is on the first router with everything, including the solar inverter goes through that, creating security concerns.
I want all the IoT devices ( Solar Panel inverter, TV box, Roku) on it's own isolated network for security reasons. I can find nothing out about the security of the inverter company and the only way to monitor it is to hook it up to the internet.
Inverter requires an Ethernet connection.
So I think what I need to do is use the IoT VLAN 30 for those devices and assign the Router LAN port 3 or 4 to IoT and also change the port mode to Access
Hard wire the Satellite to Router ( in basement) through LAN port 1
Use Satellite LAN 2 for financial computer in loft with separate Wifi ( which I have now)
Use "employee" VLAN for family stuff
If I need an LAN in loft here will assign the Satellite LAN 3 to Family
Am I correct in assuming that the LAN ports on Router and Satellite are totally separate and LAN port 3 can be assigned to IoT on Router but to "Family " on Satellite?
Continue client and network isolation for IoT but disable client isolation for Family.
Am I also correct that Administrator network can access all other networks even if on isolation?
Will use mDNS to share printer on Family LAN Satellite port
Use
I set up my router LAN port 3 to VLAN3 for IoT devices, one of which has to be hardwired. I also connected the Satellite port 3 to VLAN3
When I connect the Iot device ( A solar inverter)via Ethernet to LAN port 3, the IP Address in the attached devices list for the inverter is 192.168.1.103, indicating it is on the default VLAN1 network, not VLAN30. I have connected and reconnected several time with same results
When I connect my laptop to the same LAN port 3 ipcofig gives me IP address of 192.168.30.3, indicating it is on the VLAN30 network.
The Iot device on the Satellite LAN port 3 has the correct 192.168.30.* address.
Called technical support but they were too busy but will call back tomorrow
