Hi Guys first time posters here, came across this site while searching for solution to my networking problem. I've spent the best part of the day reading almost all the threads on page one of the ASUS forums and still can't find a clear cut solution to what I would like to accomplish.
So, for starters here is what I have available to me, unfortunately I do not have images to provide, but I'll do my best to describe what I'm looking for in my network.
I have a -- TM - AC1900 ASUS which is AC68U that I will like to install Merlin on and then I have a
AC56U VPN that I'm planning to use as a vlan. Now I tried setting up the vlan on the ac56u but found out that the I can ping each and every IP's that I created.
I also have an old switch lying around that I would like to utilize as well.
So in conclusion, I have a ASUS tm-1900, asus ac56u vpn and a netgear fvs firewall.
My question is, how will you design a network from these equipment that will give access to my kids and friends, then secure and separate my work from them accessing their favourite game sites and whatever else my friends do online ( kids are teenagers by the way) at the same time protecting my emails and secure data.
My understanding from reading some of the threads is vlan will be ideal in this scenario, but I have no idea how to keep them from not talking with each other. I will also like to add a network printer with home security cameras.
I know this is a bit much, but I know there are experts here who have done this sort of thing before.
Thanks in advance guys.
