i've got this old "smart" toaster that keeps trying to connect back home every time i use it. now imagine if someone could hack into my network through such a device - yikes! netgear routers seem like they might help, but what's the deal with vlans?
so here's where we can get clever: by segmenting our networks using
vlans (virtual local area networks),
we create separate traffic lanes for different types of devices . this means even if a "smart" device gets compromised or tries to misbehave, it won't be ableto mess with the restof my network.
i've been thinking - does anyone have tips on how they set up vlans in their home networks? i want something simple but effective!
