    Need help with setting up home network with VLANs

    Let's say, I have a media server that I want to access from both tv and pc. Which network would I put my media server in? If I put it in guest, how can I ensure that guest network can reply to a request initiated by main network but it can't access main network directly i.e. one-way communication?

    Need help with setting up home network with VLANs

    Definitely not what I'm looking for. I'd prefer something that I can do from GUI. Similar to how you can setup vlan on pfSense. I haven't decided budget yet. I wanted to know different ways of setting it up so that I could pick the cost effective one. One option is to buy all-in-one router...

    Need help with setting up home network with VLANs

    Can you post some links so that I can check if it's my cup of tea? In general, I'd say I'm somewhat familiar but I'm no sysadmin. I definitely don't want to configure firewall rules or vlan through cli, if that's what you meant. Any recommendations for wifi routers?

    UPS and Active PFC Power Supply compatibility table.

    I agree with you but if there are huge number of negative reviews, I usually assume all of them can't be clueless. This, coupled with my own experience with APC, made me apprehensive. Anyways, I decided to go with APC again. Thanks! I don't know how reliable this is but according to this, more...

    [Complaint] Extremely poor service by TP Link

    Huh. I have the same router and the same problem. I couldn't get through their helpline. So, I gave it to MD Copmuters for replacing as I bought it from them. It's been over 1.5 months, and I'm still waiting for that replacement. Apparently, the kolkata service centre is all out of stock.
