Hi Guys,

Need your help. I have a router to which all th devices are connected. Mostly wireless but the TV is connected via LAN cable. I have installed few apps on the TV from not trusted sources and I dont want the TV on the same network. How do I isolate the TV from the network so that it can still access the internet but cannot see anything on the network. Hope it makes sense.

Yeap thats the one. I think this is the part that I need to configure but dont know how. The page is called “setup gateway” . VLAN was off which I just turned ON. How do we setup VLAN?

You should be able to assign that vlan to a port (ex. eth0, eth1)

So should I type “eth0” in VLAN ID ? Eth0 is where the internet cable is connected ?

I found the manual Can you get on that web site using a laptop? Can you log in, click on Internet, and take a screenshot (from a laptop)? Make sure to remove your public ip address form the screenshot. In your case it means remove ip addresses that does not start with 192.168.xxx.xxx
