I have R6700V3 . I need more networks to keep devices separate. Please read on:
Safety question. I want husband, children, me, and smart devices on their own network.how many networks are on a good router? My husband gets all over the web. So, I want my home pc private & safer from his. I also would like my 2 kids to be on a separate network. Then my smart cameras should be on their own network, total devices then are 12-14. BUT please notice I would like 5 (five)separate networks. I have a R6700v3 router now and I configured 4 of them, but the devices would not recognize the 5G networks so I do not enough networks on current model. Thanks for any help. If I wasnt concerned about security, then this model would be ok to run everything on. But, I am a past product of identity theft and very insecure about sharing home pc with the rest of this household. Thanks in advance!

Not something that comes naturally to domestic routers, especially something as old and underpowered as the R6700V3. (That is based on a V1 router first launched in 2014.)
These days Netgear provides security through paid for services like Smart Parental Controls and Armor.
