<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">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. <div><br></div><div><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(122,122,122);min-height:14px"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"></span><br></p>

<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Most routers have the
ability to set up a guest network (I know that Netgear does and I
think that other companies have similar things). If you login to
the router, look for something that has 'guest' or 'subnet" in its
name, enable it and uncheck "</font><font face="Times New Roman,
Times, serif">Allow guest to access My Local Network" (at least
that is what you do on Netgear). I would keep a firewall in place
though, because the firewall is mainly preventing malicious
incoming traffic from getting in. There isn't much that you can
do to prevent them from knowing that things are coming from the
same place unless you set up a VPN but placing your work computer
in a different subnet will allow you to share files in your
personal network without risking it being seen by your employer.</font><br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve spent a lot of time working remotely
for various companies but I just got a new job where I am
being issued a company laptop (in the past I’ve been a
consultant and provided my own hardware). Because this is
company hardware they can put anything they want on the laptop
and I not only have zero say on it but they don’t even have to
tell me what they put on the laptop. I would like to
structure my home network so that this laptop sits outside of
the firewall that surrounds my home network. How do I go
about doing that? Is it as simple as putting a small
inexpensive router between my cable modem and my primary house
router? Do I need to do more to secure my home network from
my foreign hardware?</p>
