[Hidden-tech] Separate lan for company laptop

[PeopleFirst Tech]

Aaron is correct; I would just clarify since guest network / access can
mean different things on different routers: You are looking for an option
that will provide a separate SSID and password that you specify, and have
only the work computer connected to that one. You can confirm it's on a
different subnet because you will not be able to see your other devices
from that computer.
