[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1926858, member: 396914"] Wait, I thought you said that somehow you had isolated the 5gHz and 2.4gHz bands into two separate networks. Now you say you have a 2.4gHz in your non-guest network? What what does "one of our non-guest networks" mean? Do you have more networks than just the two you have told us about? Well, you are expending an awful lot of work to protect against something, but then use an older security method, so that would seem to be counter-intuitive. WPA3 has been around since 2018, so that makes your router pretty old in technology terms. If you are so worried about security that you have fragmented your LAN, then maybe a move to a WPA3 would be logical. Read this and make your decision: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.diffen.com/difference/WPA2_vs_WPA3[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access[/URL] Why? Basically, with the exception of the smarter devices (Smart TV, Apple TV, Game consoles, etc), the devices are pretty dumb. No need to be paranoid that somehow your refrigerator is spying on you any more than you are being spied on anyway through your cell phone. The latter is a lot more intrusive than a game console.
