Marco mentioned just a couple of weeks ago (at least on the live show, not sure if it made the edit) that he was using Ubiquiti APs at his house. This was in reference to having a dedicated "IOT" SSID in your home.
"This was in reference to having a dedicated "IOT" SSID in your home."
In what way does that matter? Can you vlan them directly on the wireless router that way? Or are these devices 'all in one' routers (i.e. both wireless and wired)?
Oh that's cool. I have a ~5 year old 'prosumer'/small business AP (don't recall brand) and it doesn't let you do that (it's probably different with anything you buy new today). I spend ungodly amounts of time trying to get the vlanning to work on the switch it's connected to and gave up (of course that still wouldn't have let me separate different ssid's into different vlans).
I think OP just meant that Marco mentioned having Ubiquiti products when he was talking about having a dedicated wifi network for his IOT products. It's not that Ubiquiti has some special IOT mojo.
Yeah but what I meant is that having different ssids doesn't buy you much from a security pov when all traffic is still commingled on the router. But if you can get vlanning for 'free', then all of a sudden it starts making a lot more sense.
