    Solved Can I use AIMesh with a managed switch handling the DHCP and other main network management?

    Currently, I have a number of AC68U's running my network. All run the latest version of Merlin. Router 1 handles the incoming fiber line and does the heavy lifting for the firewall, DHCP, and AiMesh master node. The other 3 act as nodes and do their thing. I would like to replace Router 1...

    Unsure best direction for better logging and securing IoT devices

    I'm into IoT and home automation, but I'm embarrassed to admit I've rather ignored the security aspects of my home network so far. I'd be really grateful for some guidance on the best direction to address this, especially if anyone thinks I might be wasting my time looking into building a NG...

    For the millionth time, vlan/separating IoT setup

    Hi there, so I’m sorry to be the one to ask the same question over again. Unfortunately, I am a little confused in regard to vlans. Basically, I have a PC, NAS and Nvidia Shield Tv that I would like to be on one network. Separate from this I would like to have the, more or less, unsecure...

    Separated network for smarthome/IoT devices - Is a little modified Guest network enough?

    Hi there! :) I have an Asus RT-AC68U which have asusuwrt-merlin on it, and have some IoT devices (led-strip controller, air consitioneer, etc, amazon echo, harmony hub, connected all via 2.4GHz wifi) and computers/nas/smartphones (connected via ethernet and 5GHz wifi), and now I will install an...

    different wireless mode for main/guest

    I was wondering if I can downgrade a guest network to Legacy while keeping N for main wifi. Why would I be interested in such a setup: I got LIFX bulbs that need legacy settings to not loose connectivity… Any ideas … thanks

    DHCP fixed IP on IoT devices as additional security measurement

    I have isolated all my IoT devices on a separate wired guest network and on a separate wireless guest network. DHCP is turned on for those guest networks. Does it make sense to now, as an additional security measurement, log in to each IoT device and make its IP static and to set to the IP it...

    [Review] - GL.iNet AR300M Travel Router/IOT Hub

    Place marker for now - as I have some open questions to the OEM... It's a neat little device as a travel router, IOT hub, and developer box - QC-Atheros based and fully supported by OpenWRT. While it's only an N300/WiFi (4) device, the software support makes it worthwhile - and the hardware...

    Building Home Network, help with segmentation

    This is my first network I've created from the ground up. Cat6 wired in each room with a tech closet. The gateway is a fiber 1 Gbt service. The Netgear switches are L2+, L3. The Qnap NAS has the ability to segment the cameras and Iot devices. A handful of IoT devices require an internet...

    Control LAN Access via iptables

    Is it possible to control LAN access via iptables? I have a bunch of IOT devices that I want to access the internet and (and this is the kicker) accept incoming connections from specific hosts inside my LAN, but not create their own connections to hosts in my LAN. It looks like iptables rules...

    How to remotely access IoT device over VPN?

    One of my IoT devices has local access only (its App only connects to the device if they are in the same local network). I was hoping to access it (to read some sensor values) remotely by running a VPN server on my router, but OpenVPN seems to provide a different subnet and the App will still...

    Wifi SSID with routed interface for IoT devices

    I plan on adding a few wifi IoT devices in my house (Sonoff switches) that I'd like to separate from my main LAN and have a different address space and firewall rules for devices in that LAN. I still want DHCP in the LAN (though I can live without it). I'm using RMerlin's build on a RT56U. I...
