How to use Access Control Rules to isolate/restrict LAN segments?
I have a wired network (TL-R470T+) and 2 wireless networks (main and guest — Deco M5) that I’d like to separate into different LAN segments as follows:
- 10.1.1.x = Wired and wireless devices with full access to the internet and each other. My home automation (Home Assistant) hub will live on this segment with secure access from outside the home via LetsEncrypt SSL and nginx reverse proxy.
- 10.1.2.x = Wireless (Smarthome/IoT) devices that depend on cloud services and therefore need access to the internet but shouldn’t have access to any nodes on the above segment except for the Home Assistant hub.
- 10.1.3.x = As above but not dependent on cloud services; no internet access required.
- 10.1.4.x = Guest network- internet only; no access to any of the above
Should I use VLANs? Access Control Rules? I’ve never used either so if someone could post a link to something that explains how to set this up, I’d really appreciate it.
