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)

I’ve been extremely into QoS lately and CAKE with nftables has been incredible. I’m regularly saturating the upload link (huge NAS backup to the cloud on cable internet) but you’d never guess it — video streaming, voice calls, etc. all take priority so the bulk upload just completely backs off.

Oh man, I should look at QoS throttling - I have a Synology that does backup to Wasabi S3 on the regular. Good call.
