Looks good, now I need to get off the couch and begin segmenting the network for when my SO clicks on a green download button.

Man, if anyone knows or a VLAN capable wifi 7+ access point that’ll dump different SSIDs on different VLANs, please hit me up.

Right now I’m using an Orbi 6 Pro in AP mode, and it’s fine, but I’m not getting the throughput I want for streaming games over my home network.

I want to keep all my networks separated from each other:

  • Primary (phones, laptops)
  • IoT very limited group of things like thermostats
  • Always on VPN (a weird setup I made where if you connect to this SSID you’re instantly in New Zealand)
Unifi, does that and just works for me.
