Home Network

Segmenting your home network

  • Consider buying your own router. The routers provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider are generally designed with poor hardware to save money)

    • Create separate home networks. VLANS can be used on your router. A VLAN is a virtual network.

      • Assign categories of home devices to these different networks. For example: Separate TVs, your personal computers and devices, and your work devices. It is also a good idea to keep peripherals such as an Alexa on its own network.

    • Look into pfSense if you want to try to build your own router

    • Unify is a great option for getting a new router
