I’m considering moving smart plugs and a couple of cameras off the main Wi-Fi network, but I’m not sure what setup is practical for a typical home. Some devices need to be discovered or controlled from a phone, so a basic guest network might isolate them too much, while VLANs seem like extra work if the router doesn’t support them well.
What approach have you used, and what router or access point features made it work? I’d be interested to hear how you handle phone control, local discovery, and access to the internet, especially if you ran into devices that stopped working after isolation.
