This is why you segment out your WiFi, I have 4 SSID's
1. Normal Traffic
2. Guest
3. Security Devices (Camera's, and other Home Automation)
4. Media Devices (Roku, FireTV, Smart TV's, etc)
media devices only have access to my home Plex server and the internet nothing else
- dsl 6y agoI just have a GLiNet travel router I picked up for $20 that is open and not connected to anything. Any "smart" devices get connected to that so they can talk to each other but not the internet.
- hanklazard 6y agoYeah, VLANs work for a TV that is only trying to connect to your network, but doesn't deal with the case of a TV that will connect to any open SSID (a case that at least one other commenter in this thread claims is already occurring). It wouldn't be difficult to have the TV check different open networks if it's not able to reach a server due to a firewall config on the home network. For anyone living in a relatively dense city, this could be a problem.
