Does the EE Smart Hub offer:
- guest network (with client isolation), and/or
- VLAN segregation, and/or
- bridging to a third-party router (not just disabling WiFi)
Some background: I have an Echo device and growing number of IoT devices. To protect against network intrusion (from an IoT device into my home network) it's been suggested I should either put the Echo and IoT devices on a guest network or on a separate VLAN.
A more complex recommendation is three VLANs: home, devices, guest.
I'm currently on BT Broadband using a BT Smart Hub 2 which doesn't support:
- guest network, or
- VLAN, or
- bridging
It seems that I will be encouraged to migrate from BT to EE Broadband sooner or later. So I am trying to find out if the new hub will be better suited to securing my IoT network, before I start shopping for yet another device.
(I'm aware of Advanced Web Protect but that sounds more like a firewall, rather than internal security from a hijacked device. If there are more details on how AWP works I'd love to read them.)
