Outer router with LAN 10.0.0.0 and DMZ at 10.0.0.100 DHCP enabled
second inner router with WAN port connected to a LAN port of outer router. WAN IP of inner router 10.0.0.100 LAN Range 192.168.1.0 DHCP disabled.
Should I replace inner router with a firewall box which then connects to a switch for the LAN?
Should I replace inner router with an opnsense box?
Reason for this config-prevent clients connected to outer router from interacting/seeing any clients from inner LAN, prevent any possible malware from outer LAN reaching inner LAN, as well as network segmentation(LANs have different functions)
From what I have read, this 'dual router config' adds about a second of latency to the inner LAN. I assume using a firewall instead of a router will add the same amount of latency?
