Ok, right now I have one router that I use for everything. It is plugged directly into my modem. My brother keeps on getting infected with malware no matter how many precautions I set up. He won't switch to linux because he can't play certain games.
Can I isolate his computer and consoles using a second router connected to the main router? I have a second router used solely as a switch but it has full access to the network.
I tried getting him to use the guest network feature through wifi but he complains about it being slow compared to the wired speeds.
Is the router configurable? – cybernard – 2014-02-03T01:51:46.797
yes, currently the second router has DHCP off so it is acting as a switch – mocko44 – 2014-02-03T01:53:51.290
Sure bit his computer being infected isn't a security risk provided your computer is closed off from it by disabling network file sharing – Ramhound – 2014-02-03T01:54:27.273
Last time he got infected his computer started slamming one of the linux machines I have, but the firewall blocked everything. I don't know, I guess I am paranoid something is going to happen. – mocko44 – 2014-02-03T01:59:23.867
