Hello, I have a grievance and need a proper solution. It seems that TP-Link’s Deco mesh WiFi APs don’t tag the three SSIDs to vlans (and they see no operational issue with this), and I would like to make the most use out of the “iot” network they provide to separate smart devices from my own. I could do by IP and assign static routes to such devices, but I was hoping something would be possible in router mode, though im unfamiliar with how such a structure works.

Edit: may not matter to include I have a couple M5 units and an x60

Any other suggestions (including other brand mesh WiFi units, most especially supporting openwrt) are appreciated

    Can you put the second SSID on a different subnet and block the traffic between them on your router?

      Issue is assigning static IPs to devices like nest cameras and the dubiously branded vacuum cleaner, NAT alone should be enough to restrict connection even if the adapter its on is configured as lan then? Im a little in over my head as far as routing goes, wanting to self host some web server and I want to take as many precautions as necessary (maybe even overkill)
