I highly recommend that anyone who buys IoT devices, including smart TVs, gets a router or access point that supports multiple SSIDs and VLANS.
You can segregate your IoT devices from the rest of your stuff. You can even give a VLAN per device if you really want to, although it's probably not worth the effort.
I have 3 VLANs: one for my home network where my computers are, one for my security system, and one for the rest of my IoT devices. I don't even trust my Roomba on my home network!
I have a Unifi Dream Machine, but there are a few other consumer products that can achieve this kind of setup. If you have basic knowledge of how to use a computer, you can follow some YouTube tutorials about how to set up VLANs and firewall most of your devices from reaching your home computers.
