Hi,
My home network is a bit of a mess. I would like to make it better, with these as ultimate goals:
- Have two different subnets for LAN and WLAN (allowing communication from LAN to WLAN, but only a few selected ports between WLAN and LAN)
- Being able to communicate with the Plex server (LAN) from WLAN clients
- IPv6 with different prefix for each subnet (like using 172.16.0., 172.16.1. for each subnet with IPv4)
- Having a more controlled WLAN (more firewall rules)
- If really lucky, I would like some service discoverability between subnets, but it is optional (mostly me here anyways!)
This is the current situation:
I had to bridge igb1 and igb2 (LAN and WLAN) in order to have my WLAN clients (Android devices, Chromecasts etc) communicate with the Plex server properly, as this seems to go online and back (somehow).
This is what I think I'd like:
But I am not sure this is the best idea either. Is it impossible to have some typical consumer services work between subnets like this? What is a better way to segment my network that I don't know about yet?
