IOT and broadcast traffic

[free780]

Has any else stuck all their plugs/light bulbs/fire sticks on to their home guest wifi rather than the main SSID?

 

My router blocks traffic from the guest to the main SSID.

I think it will break screen mirroring from android devices.

I was getting all my plugs (2.4 only) fall off the WiFi. This might be due to the 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands having the same name.

 

Apple devices recommend not having Tkip enabled anymore but I found this can upset some older kit.

No, I poked Ethernet cables everywhere and use PoE. Secure, no batteries, reliable

I have all of my IoT stuff on a separate subnet that has zero internet access. Mainly because the stuff on it consists of smart bulbs, IP Cameras, etc so it only really needs access to my LAN. I also found that my IP Cameras send data back to China when connected to the internet (Thanks Untangle!) so its desirable to have them firewalled off.
