Reply To: RT-AX86U wired network connection to second WIFI network Hi all, So I have setup a 2nd WIFI network which I’ve connected all my IOT devices to. I’m now considering setting up home assistant on a virtual machine and…

Yes, ideally want wired connection but I don’t see how I can assign say port 2 on the router to be on the same IP range as the 2nd WIFI network (on the same network), doesn’t seem to be a way so if I plugged in a data diode, it will be on the main network, not the 2nd WIFI network range, correct?

Effectively any device I plug into the router at present on LAN port connects to my main network, doesn’t seem to be a way to say this port needs to be on the 2nd WII network, they are all on the main network. I.e. main network 192.168.1.x and 2nd WIFI 192.168.2.x, every device I plug in comes up on 192.168.1.x not 192.168.2.x if you see what I mean.

Thanks
