I'm trying to secure my network and I can't seem to find a way to set up VLANs within Merlin. I'm probably overlooking it but I see you can set up guest networks (which is what I have set up now.) Wouldn't this constitute as multiple SSIDs? My question is which would be more secure? I am wanting to have my main devices on my main network and then my IoT devices on another network that can't connect to the intranet.
I also want to set up Security Onion to monitor the network and I see the Asus routers support port mirroring but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this? I'm thinking it would be to resource intensive on the router. Would it be better to get a switch like this, link below, to set up the port mirroring and VLANs? Thanks in advance.
