Hi,

 

I have an Arris TG2482 device. I want to create a VLAN to separate my TV + smart lights etc from the rest of my devices. Please note my networking experience is close to nothing. 

Is the virtual server the same thing as VLAN? What exactly put in as parameters when creating it? Can someone please guide me through the process? Or at least ease the pain when trying to do it.

I have understood that in order for the VLAN to function, I need to link it to one of the physical ports in the Modem/Router TG2482. Is it an issue if I have ethernet cables connected to all of them already? Does the VLAN port need to be empty? 

Then, how to actually connect a smart light to the VLAN?

Thanks for the help :)

Hello Toppe33,

 

I would like to inform you that TG2482 is a not supported by us directly and the VLAN feature by activating the LAN port can be assisted only by the ISP as they need to activate the PORT and enable it with VLAN feature. So, I would recommend you contact your ISP so they can check and help you with the best solution.
