Folks:

I've been trying to figure out how to do this for months, but have had no luck.

Since I'm now working from home (as many of us are), I want to isolate my work laptop from my home network.

The work laptop needs full access to the internet, and I don't want to use WiFi, but I don't want it to be able to access my home network.

I know I can put it on a guest WiFi network with isolation, but I want to keep it on hardwire.

I do have a switch that supports VLAN's, but I'm not sure how I can use that.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

david
