    How exactly do IoT smart devices pose a threat to home networks?

    I'm just curious, how exactly does a smart lock, or a light bulb or a smart kitchen appliance pose a threat? If you have your router properly set-up, disabled UPnP, enabled the firewall and no port forwarding, then there's no way some remote hacker can enter my home network through a security...

    IOT Mystery - Help Needed

    I am a longtime Merlin user and have lurked the board for what seems like ages. I've never had to post before because like every tech savvy guru, I know that my problems are not unique. Someone... at least one person has had the same issue as I, and most likely there are multiple solutions...

    Input on ways to implement IOT network

    Hi all, I'm relatively new the the forum, but from everything I've picked up about this place over the last year or more of running into it, this is the place to be if you have questions with ASUS routers. What I'm looking for is a few different ideas of how you would implement the below...

    IOT security question: Seperate a Smart TV from rest of network.

    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)...
