Hello, I’m planning on creating a home server and getting some cameras.
I would like to have the server, cameras and all IOT devices be disconnected from the internet but still be able to access them within the house from different devices and maybe have limited access to them when outside.
Do I need a specific hardware for this? And what router would support this? I’m still in the planning phase but I’m looking for budget friendly solutions.
My router’s admin console, OOTB, gives me the option to either deny individual devices (based on MAC, etc.) access to the external internet, or create a second (or third, etc.) WiFi network that, itself, is not connected to the outside.
What’s your router? Can you install OpenWrt on it? OpenWrt provides a GUI for the firewall where you can set that a specific device won’t be able to access the internet with a few clicks.

Perhaps you have similar settings?
Mine doesn’t, what router are you using?

My router doesn’t support OpenWrt, I’m planning on buying a new budget friendly one to support it
Thank you for the
