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.

Thank you

I have a similar set-up

I use a wireless access point that can expose multiple ssid with different vlans (I think it a fairly common feature)

my router runs openwrt and the iot vlan is in a different firewall zone

use wireguard to remotely access the lan zone

I was attempting this, but TP link doesnt actually care to tag their different SSIDs to vlans and don’t provide the configuration to, I only found that their guest may be tagged on some models. Just a word of caution, I think I’ll have to use IP range filters to achieve this

Does the router creates the VLAN or the access points?

Also to achieve this I have to gave wiregaurd on a device connected to the internet right? I can’t install it on my home server if I wanted it disconnected from the internet, correct?
