Hi Guys,
Need your help. I have a router to which all th devices are connected. Mostly wireless but the TV is connected via LAN cable. I have installed few apps on the TV from not trusted sources and I dont want the TV on the same network. How do I isolate the TV from the network so that it can still access the internet but cannot see anything on the network. Hope it makes sense.
I believe that’s the VLAN for the WAN, basically you only need to enable that if your ISP is using VLANs, but you want to enable VLANs on your LAN. I have the Telstra version of that modem (I recognise the Technicolor UI) and it doesn’t allow you to use VLANs like you want to.
You could probably set up some routing stuff on a raspberry pi though, and use a switch.
Or if needed put your modem into bridge mode, and acquire a router that supports VLANs, I don’t know of any cheap consumer ones, but I’m in the process of switching to OPNsense with an old computer. Unrelated, but in my experience technicolor has severe bufferbloat anyway.
Yeah that makes sense. I can’t see why there would be a vlan enabled on your local network right now as it would make lots of things not work
