Attempting to divide my renters onto their individual networks
Attempting to divide my renters onto their individual networks
Hello, I’m seeking the simplest method to divide your tenants into separate networks. They currently share your connection, but now devices like Chrome Cast and Home are causing interference. You’d like two distinct networks: one for your own use and another for media sharing without access. You provided a network diagram excluding phones, IP cameras, and laptops, along with an 8-port switch and a Dlink router. Any suggestions on how to achieve this efficiently?
Use a managed switch or a router to create separate VLANs. Alternatively, a multi-port edge router can assign unique subnets to each LAN port. Your current router might already support this—check the manual for details. The easiest path is dedicating a router to each network, though it will require double NAT.
Consider acquiring another SG200 or comparable switch, connect it in front of the HomeHub 3000, and use it to manage VLANs from there. Isolate tenants on the existing SG200, then link the other unit directly to it while separating the remaining devices connected to the HomeHub.
