Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Hi

Newbie question.... I have four EAP 245 AP's installed via a TP-Link PoE switch. Controller is running on Win10

 

I need to add internet security... anti-virus, firewall, parental controls, etc. Instead of me buying Norton/McAfee/etc and loading onto each PC client, what do I need to do to load at the network level in the same way that a usual business would? 

 

I know on single modem/router networks, this is done directly in the modem/router software but I'm guessing for my scenario something needs to be installed and configured on the PC that is running the Omada Controller?

 

Thanks..

It' not a thing for data link later devices. Switch/EAP are only transmitting data in local network, from your router to your client device.

 

I will recommend Deco as your router. Your requirement is actually for home usage. SMB routers are designed for some special requirement like VPN server, portal authenticatio, VLAN etc.

Adding APs to the network is a very good move for anybody who wants to improve his/her internal network. However, those APs just take over handling internal WiFi traffic. Your Internet router is usually the one to deal with Internet security.
