Need your help. I have a router to which all th devices are connected. Mostly wireless but the TV is connected via LAN cable.
I have installed few apps on the TV from not trusted sources and I dont want the TV on the same network.
How do I isolate the TV from the network so that it can still access the internet but cannot see anything on the network.
Hope it makes sense.
The switch on its own will do nothing for you. It’s only useful with a router that supports VLANs
Unfortunately in your situation you’ll need to replace your current router-modem combo with a dedicated modem, a commercial router (if you don’t want to build your own linux one then EdgeRouters seems pretty good value for money) and a managed switch.

Thank you so much. I think i’ll have to buy a switch. I have a shitty iinet tgvac789 V2 router which I think is useless.

Can you enable multiple vlans?
I only see one VLAN option but then I also found this
