Create isolated (wired) LAN for Guest Room?
-
@JaredBusch Why don't you agree?
VLAN's are very simple to setup, and don't require anything special. I'm willing to be enlightened tonight.
So go.

And what does "Woodworking do exactly what he wants, yes" mean?

@DustinB3403 We occasionally rent it out for AirBnB, and have friends of our children stay in it.

Well they may be simple to set up on the router they're very hard to deal with in the switching specially in a home where he probably does not have VLAN aware switches. So without that your choice is to take all of your equipment and put it on a VLAN and then leave the default VLAN for any guest equipment. That is not simple that's a pain in the ass

Gotcha, so a VLAN works, but you don't agree its a simple approach. So what would be more simple, creating a separate lan entirely?
While networking wise there would be 2 separate flat networks, this seems like way more effort to setup.

And while I agree having a dedicate Ethernet for the room is usable, do most of your clients walk in with desktops asking where they can connect to the dial up internet?

Correct because to continue my prior post, if your equipment is on the default VLAN then it's a pain in the ass to configure every guest device to be on the appropriate VLAN

He's driving. I assume thats supposed to be would it, not woodworking.

The simplest solution for something at home like this would be to basic gigabit dumb switches both plugged into the router to separate physical LANS.
The firewall set up in the router will be the same whether it's the VLAN or a LAN.

When I talk slowly enough and enunciate the punctuation by actually saying the word period. Siri generally does not do too bad

Does the router he has offer the capabilities he'd need for this? I've never used anything from T-Mobile so I have no idea..
-
@JaredBusch Is this something a bright person without a whole lot of network customization experience could set up? I'm up for the challenge -- set up my own home network. If so, what is the recommended hardware, and a resource for doing the customiazation?

I have no clue, but for $60 you get something awesome.

It's an Asus router -- AC-68U -- which has been DD-WRT disabled by T-Mobile. I have and can purchase other routers. I want to run the Tmobile router on the home network becasue its tuned for wi-fi calling. Not essential to keep if I can't use it. I'd heard the Ubiquiti router was a good one. My other router is an ASUS TM-AC1900
-
@jeffepops well DD-WRT disabled is odd.... but that should be able to do what is required.
How or why you had to mention DD-WRT disabled I find as odd..... It makes me think T-Mobile is doing something fishy.
-
@DustinB3403 No, but it has a small home theater system with a roku box. It's much more stable with a wired connection.
-
@jeffepops I would buy an edge router and if you only need one port going to the wired Jack in that room you don't need anything else. Yes this is something that you could do very easily
