[QUOTE="michelangelo, post: 1768568, member: 54225"] Well, thanks for reviving my (otherwise) dead post. It made me feel better. Now, with the physical layout like you mention: Internet -> Router ->-> Switch with VLAN ->->->Clients I believe the above is more or less (practically) equivalent to the "three dumb routers" option of Steve Gibson. <[URL="https://www.grc.com/securitynow.htm"]https://www.grc.com/securitynow.htm[/URL]> Episode #545 | 02 Feb 2016 Internet -> One dumb Router ->-> two dumb Routers ->->->Clients But it requires separate wiring (and/or separate wifi access points), which I do not have. Here, I expect to use one single set of wiring (power line communication, more precisely) to access from the SG-1000 (in the basement) to the Airport Extreme to be located in the living room, ground floor and expect that this Airport Extreme will distribute, together with the main network, the guest (or IoT) network via wifi from the living room (which should be enough for that not-very-useful-so-far network). I hope this can work. It does not work (of that I am sure) from my Time Capsule located in the attic. The Time Capsule, even when it was connected to the Airport Extreme (then configured as the router creating the guest network) only relays the main network, and ignores the existence of the guest network (the packets of which it receives nevertheless, I believe). Now that my belt and suspenders seem to be on (with my possibility to reset by console the SG-1000 to factory default), I will start attempting to create a VLAN tagged 1003 guest network on the SG-1000. Just a question of time. Then I will be able to report here if the Airport Extreme sees the guest network (as Darko Krisik's does) or not. Thanks for your contributions.
