Oh my god you're right, I'm dumb today. Anyway I was searching the internet about IoT security and I found a guy, who set up VLAN in ASUS-Merlin, so it should be possible even with my other requests. I'm still gonna stick with Synology. I don't have that much IoT devices and at least in my...

Sorry but I do not follow. How would VLAN protect IoT devices? It's just separate network from my PC and other stuff. So if my lights are hacked, it doesn't actually matter if they are on the same network or not. They could send data and act as botnet anyway. Btw, as I said, almost all of my IoT...

Price is not a problem, but that Cisco router looks like for business, I still think this is overkill for my household. Anyway, why would I need to have a separate network for IoT devices? Genuine question, I do not know, what are the advantages.

Peplink is unable to get in my country. And it looks like a business router. Actually, interface and wireless router maters to me. I got another suggestion to buy Mikrotik with RouterOS, but that's some command line bs. I really like the Synology, but I think that Asus has more experience in...

Guys anyone?
