Is VLAN a meme and should just get another router for guest wifi, or is it worth it?
>>107676241if you have to ask you either>don't need itor>too stupid to implement it anyway.
>>107676251I can implement it just fine. I'm just wondering why go the VLAN route if you can just get another router with guest wifi. I want to segment my IoT devices.
If you don't trust your router's VLAN's to work you shouldn't really trust it to not get instantly compromised by any guest phone in the vicinity either. So buying a second router won't help.
>>107676251>>too stupid to implement it anyway.looked how to make VLANs in LuCi (OpenWRT)looked way too complicated/too much pain in the ass for no reason at allslapped simple parental controls on printer and cameras to block all outgoing traffic achieves same thing I wanted to do, just way quicked/easier to undo
>>107676407how is adding a 32-bit tag to an ethernet frame "too complicated"
>>107676273So you don't have to get another router is why you'd implement VLANDumbass
>>107676591But VLAN routers are more expensive, cunt.
>>107676626what
>>107676731You need a router that supports VLAN features. They're more expensive.
>>107676821any router that you made a conscious decision to buy (i.e. any router other than the one that you overpaid for on your 24 month plan from your ISP) supports VLANsagain, if you're asking this question, you don't need it
>>107676859They literally don't baka anon. Not all routers have VLAN capability. You must be autistic.
>>107676896I think what he's trying to say is that a conscious buyer of networking hardware would buy a router that supports VLANs desu
>>107676241unless you're an enterprise you can just create subnets and firewall them from each other just fine.
>>107676896I would love to see an example of a router with gigabit ports and no vlan/guest network support
>>107676917Yes, which is what I'm trying to do right now. This is why this question is happening: Why not just get another cheap router i can firewall and let that be like a VLAN. But ohh no, I guess asking question to autistics is too difficult with their reptilian brain disposition. >>107676932Makes sense >>107676936It's called being satisfied with the Wi-Fi connection. And yes, my router/modem combo is an example of that.
>>107676821you mean switch? who buys a fucking router? that's the dumbest shit you can buy. make a fucking router out of scrap hardware you find in your nearest dumpster. it will support vlan. what the actual fuck?
>>107676945>I guess asking question to autistics is too difficult with their reptilian brain disposition.I guess you have your answer then...
>>107676946Because I want my devices on wi-fi, I don't care about ethernet connections. It's too gay to set up.
>>107676945How old is this thing?
>>107676960use your fucking wifi bullshit with openwrt as a fucking ap/bridge and nothing else. and build a fucking router. holy shit /g/fags these days are retarded as fuck lay off the estrogen it's rotting your brain
>>107676961Over 10 years old. I will not get a newer modem/router combo because they probably have way more telemetry shit installed. I feel like I've been able to get away with a lot of stuff because this modem's too fucking old to suport the newest goyveillance. >>107676981What is lil bro saying.
>>107676993broda, build a fucking router. install openwrt on your shit wifi nonsense, it doesn't have the CPU power to do anything else really, configure it as an access point, no firewall, NOTHING, pure wifi bridge, you take care of firewalling on your fucking router, with a proper CPU, that can actually do fucking shit.any piece of shit wifi "router" has shitfuck cpu anyway that can barely survive, that shit shouldn't do anything else but connect clients and broadcast ssids and that's fucking it. with openwrt it will support your fucking vlansthen do a proper config on your firewall (router). your shit "wifi router" cpu will choke and die with some proper firewalling
>>107677033BRODA, FUCK YO BITCH ASS. How bout I do nothing of what you say. How bout that? BIATCH
>>107677168oh you're an idiot. you understood nothing innit. and you being a fucking imbecile is somehow my fault
>>107677196Nah I understood you perfectly, I just don't like you. How bouts it? heh
>>107677196>>107677227mom dad stop fighting
>>107677227>I just don't like youdam broski you hurt my feefees ain't gonna sleep now
