Awhile back I wanted to put all my Mac and iDevices on one band and all my Hue and TP-Link stuff on another.
The theory is WiFi goodies are more easily hackable than computers and phones, according to various IoT people. I have no actual knowledge of that, myself.
I tried doing just that with my Last Flat AEBS, and as jcd and maybe somebody else mentioned, no joy. Even though they are assigned to different networks, it seems I can still access them from one network to another.
So I'm going to get Last Mohican AEBS and use two separate routers. This prompts the inquiry— how do I connect two routers to one modem?
In addition, the modem is also a router, so when I connect my current AEBS, it defaults to Network > Router mode: Off (Bridge Mode).
I assume they can be daisy chained somehow, and there's no need or advantage to buying a switch.
A cheaper option that does ac might be a consideration, but I can't argue with the ease of setup with Apple kit, if limited compared to a third party router.
