Hi, has anyone installed a firewalla on their networks?
I am looking at the Firewalla red for my home (https://firewalla.com/products/firewalla-red)
But I have set up a Guest network for devices I don't want to have access to my NAS and home PC's
from what I can gather there are some issues with Guest Networks and the Firewalla and I am hoping someone has some input or experience?
If there are viable alternatives to this device I would also be very grateful.
The reason I like the Firewalla is that it is a simple dedicated device that is small and seems to require minimal upkeep.
I am not that keen to re-purpose a laptop with a firewall as I am a keen novice and I am worried I would get lost in the technical details, Plus I don't have an old machine I could repurpose.
Any input would be fantastic.
Additional detail,
Router = TP-Link d2 Archer
- Guest network enabled
- Fiber
