[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1926967, member: 38864"] Look, I don't want to derail this thread or get into an argument. I actually don't disagree about the practical risks as we know them today. What I do disagree with is whether or not to be proactive or reactive. Is there a GOOD reason to NOT limit IOT devices to the Guest network? It's not difficult. It's not an encumbrance. It doesn't compromise the ability to use said devices. It's considered best practice by basically every security professional out there. That's my stance. Reasonable proactive measures beat reactive ones. Every. Single. Time. It's why I have never... ever... say, installed an app from 3rd party update sites as an example. There are many people who shrugged off the "just crying wolf" alarmists about the potential risks of acquiring from said sites, only to regret it later. [/QUOTE]
