Hi Guys,
Need your help. I have a router to which all th devices are connected. Mostly wireless but the TV is connected via LAN cable. I have installed few apps on the TV from not trusted sources and I dont want the TV on the same network. How do I isolate the TV from the network so that it can still access the internet but cannot see anything on the network. Hope it makes sense.
Some consumer routers have a “DMZ” menu that you can add devices to, which will isolate them from the rest of the network. Since you’re asking this question, I am guessing you don’t have a more enterprise-grade router that will have much in the way of vlan or firewall capabilities, so poke around looking for DMZ. I have a TP-Link router that has this.
Otherwise, a switch is probably the way to go as others have mentioned.
