[QUOTE="Tiamati, post: 889018, member: 56785"] Hello! First of all, ty for your help. Let me explain my problem. I'm currently using an old Philips smartTV, which the last update is from 2014. So I believe it probably has a lot of vulnerabilities issues. According to some articles ([URL='https://www.zdnet.com/article/fbi-recommends-that-you-keep-your-iot-devices-on-a-separate-network/']here [/URL]and [URL='https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/guest-wifi/23843/']here[/URL]), all IOT should be connected to guest wifi, as they isolate those things from your home network. That's what I do. However, my old tv also can't connect to 5Ghz wi-fi what causes some performance problems. So, I considered changing it to an ethernet connection as I could easily connect the SmartTV to an ethernet cable. However, IDK if I could isolate the TV from my network in the same way I do with the guest wifi. Do you have any idea? Btw, my d-link router (EXO model) has a so-called Triple-Play option into VLAN section. Idk what exactly is that, but I wonder if it could help. (I'm posting a print of the function in case you wanna help me with that too) [SPOILER="Triple-Play print"] [ATTACH type="full"]242628[/ATTACH][/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
