[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1926977, member: 38864"] Uh, dude. It's a simple drop-down menu to switch networks on a Mac. And the IoT things I have... well I program the network password and login details directly on some of the devices. Others, connect by bluetooth; set up using their companion iPhone app; then done. All controlling done over internet. (EDIT: to be SUPER clear here... I don't have to be on my Guest network to control these things over the internet. I don't even have to be at home). If I could forcibly control over my local network, I'd opt for that, but I can't (EDIT: actually, considering the convenience of controlling my thermostat and lawn irrigation from work, no... no I wouldn't). Now for things that require local access and control over intranet, that's another matter. Even more so if done regularly. Obviously this applies to the printer and some other types of devices. Anyway, 'nuff said. I'm going to agree to disagree. [/QUOTE]
