Hi Guys,

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.

    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.

      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.
