Nighthawk and SmartThings VLAN

Question

Hello, I want to setup a VLAN on my NightHawk for a SmartThings hub so none of my IOT devices can communicate with anything on the wireless or wired LAN ports.&nbsp; Anyone know how to do that?&nbsp; Thank you!

VLANs are not supported by stock firmware

Thank you but there's a tab that even says VLAN in the settings.&nbsp; Those aren't VLANs?&nbsp;

Those are used for Internet connections. They're not full-blown VLAN setup configurations

Got it, thank you!&nbsp; So I'll need to plug in another device between the NightHawk and the SmartThings Hub to establish a VLAN?&nbsp; Any suggestions on something cheap, simple and secure?&nbsp; I really want my IOT devices to have the most minimal of connections to my network.&nbsp; Thank you for your help!&nbsp;

Your router needs VLAN support. Placing a cheap managed switch with VLANs support, for example, won't do it. If your router is supported by DD-WRT or FreshTomato, you can try those firmwares. I've set up on Tomato VLANs in the past for the Guest network so I know it works
