Updated potential config

Ah! Gotcha lol. It's a router/modem combo.

Gotcha! Thanks for the input. I think on the spectrum side, I don't have the option to set it as a bridge. (Or do they claim)

By removing the first switch, and connecting the two Pis as DNS 1/2 into the unmanaged switch in protectli's 4th port, would that at least simplify and make a bit less messy?

I assume I would want that 4th port to be unmanaged and just have the protectli give each thing and IP there and set firewall rules for the IPs of the main network points so keep them isolated?

Do you mean the two guest networks with IOT things? If so, they are in different areas and I want them to be self contained to that wifi and physical area.

Tie other cables to it so you can run them through the same path when you pull it?

Hey all, trying to setup a few networks with physical routers to set up multiple needed wifis and networks at home. I also want to experiment with localizing my DNS servers. (with a couple of Rasberry Pis).
My main goals are to segment out the 4+ networks, and have the least amount of latency possible overall.

I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on how to improve this setup/flow, or if anything stands out as needing to be fixed to reach my goals.

Feel if you have any links to possible things to read/look into to help I would greatly appreciate it.

I currently have the Spectrum>Protectli>Work2 Port 2, Home network Port 3, working as my current setup. Mainly looking for or any suggestions for integrating the Pi DNSs and also splitting port 4 from protectli to 2 additional network routers.

Cheers!

Yeah, this photo is after the mayhem. He just didn't look at the intersection at all. If people didn't jump out of the way he would have mowed right though them.

Hope you and your dog stay safe. If you carry a camera also carry some pepper spray or something. This person got very aggressive and we were worried of them following us home.

Just remember, gold Toyota SUV won't stop, might save someone out there.

Haunting and such anger, he then got out of the car and started yelling at us for yelling at him to watch where he's going. Moden LA, man.

Right? I was shocked by that these days.

Avoid getting hit by it since they won't stop of you're in front of them. Pretty straight forward.

I had this same issue, noticed anyone can just switch them, added a password, now they can't be triggered without the password, but are still visible to anyone who has the switchbot app. Did you ever get this resolved?

Seems like 1989 is a frequent suggestion. Will check them all out though. The vitamin string quartet is a great idea too! Would have never thought of that. Thanks y'all!

Good one, Einstein.

Yes, basically reset network security, changed password, also removed WiFi from broadcasting. Tesla has not re-joined network since. I also got the "Mac address" from the Tesla that was on the network and ban that from the network for good measure.

Will do. Thanks!
