I’m using the latest ASUS firmware for the AC-66U (3.0.0.4.380.8228), which I don’t believe has VLAN capability. I would like to segment my IoT devices off from the main network for security since these devices usually are weak on security.

What would be the downside of using a guest network instead of VLAN for the IoT devices? It seems the main downside would be it wouldn’t work for wired devices?

What’s the easiest way to implement VLAN if I go this direction? I think it would require Merlin or some other 3rd party firmware.

Thanks in advance...
