Having recently purchased my 2862n, this is my first time here and I would really appreciate some help please. I've looked through the guides and online help and can't decide how best to do this so am looking for advice please.
Current situation:
On my home network I have
a vDSL link which is connected to the DSL port
a LAN (192.168.1.0) connected to P1 (this has a number of other Ethernet switches on it and about 30 wired devices
a WiFi network (WiFi_Net) with a few access points plugged into the LAN. It uses the same address range as the LAN
a Pi-Hole as the DHCP and DNS server (192.168.1.240). Main devices (CCTV cameras, servers etc.) have fixed DHCP reservations and use DHCP
the 2862n is on 192.168.1.254
NordVPN is working
This is all working well except that I must start NordVPN each time and some of the entertainment services won't work with it on.
What I now want to do is:
move the TV and other entertainment devices into their own network (subnet / VLAN?) and allow them access to the Internet but not the primary LAN. I guess the 2862n will be the DNS and DHCP server for this?
create a new network (subnet / VLAN?) for the CCTV cameras. This to have no Internet access. I guess the 2862n will be the DNS and DHCP server for this?
the main network (subnet / VLAN) to have internet access and access to both the other two networks - ideally still using the Pi-hole as the DNS and SHCP server
use QOS on the TV network to help ensure it provides good viewing of streamed media
use NordVPN on the main network but not on the TV one
I'm not sure how best to do this so any help much appreciated.
Thanks.
Richard
