[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1926851, member: 38864"] That depends on the devices. The reason to have a Guest network is so anything connected to the network can't connect to other devices on the same network. So... if you don't trust someone or something to not try to connect to your personal computer, isolate them on Guest. This was intended for people visiting your home, but it's increasingly common practice to put "things" on there also. My thermostat, lawn irrigation controller, and a couple other items are all on my Guest network because there is no need for them to have access to anything else on my network. Not that they would or should need to, but if they got compromised somehow, having them firewalled off protects me. [/QUOTE]
