I hope can explain this correctly. My goal is to separate a Smart TV IP Address from the same IP range as the rest of our home network.
Currently I have an ADSL modem that is acting purely as a bridge to the ISP provider and that is all it does. Then I have a consumer router (Netgear r6250) connected to the modem which is configured with all the ISP credentials (PPoE) required for the home's wireless devices to receive internet. It has 2.4ghz and 5ghz capability and both bands are used by various devices. The router can only create one SSID for each of the bands. The smart TV is connected to the 5ghz band on a guest network I created, but it still has an IP address in the same range and subnet as all the other devices connected. My question is, therefore, whether it is possible to separate this TV to another IP address away from the other group i.e. 192.168.1 10 to, 192.168.5.10 (just a random IP address example)?
Would this be possible through some sort of smart switch configuration with VLAN capability. although I don't believe a layer 2 switch could separate out IP or MAC addresses from the router connected to one port. Maybe a layer 3? However, that would likely be expensive and overkill? Of could a separate firewall achieve a similar outcome? Or am I way off ;-).
The Guest SSID on the router the TV is connected to has an option to disallow access to the rest of the network which I have checked, but it bothers me that it still sits on the main IP range that all the other clients have.
The plan is that should there be an issue with the TV's privacy etc. as an IOT type device it will not affect the rest of the network if there's a breach of some kind.
Hope that makes sense, and thanks for any advice in advance.
