Oh, I said that before: because I did not trust Telefónica router.
It sounds much more like you didn't trust your own machines.
I trusted existing machines, but not guest machines. I don't have a separate LAN for them. Even a machine on my Guest Wifi gets given an IP in the same LAN as every other machine. No way to separate them with my existing hardware.
I thought you had a reserved range that you could allocate as fixed addresses. Something about 20 addresses?
AFAIR, no, it is just the global DHCP (or whatever method) pool.
So ... I'm curious, how do you guarantee fixed, known addresses for your machines? I tried searching, but google is not up-to-date with our archives. I feel so sure you mentioned something about a reserved range not used for dhcp.
I can use static leases defined in the router (there is a limited number of them, maybe 30), or I configure a static address in the computer. Ah, that's something not feasible with my IPv6 (aside from ULA). But I think I was saying that I can not give guest machines IPs in a different LAN or VLAN. Not supported by my current hardware, AFAICS.
The wifi configuration of my current router page says, that it allows 64 guest clients. Says nothing about an VLAN for them.
Any VLAN would be assigned to the SSID, not the clients.
Ok, but no such a thing, AFAIK. There is VLAN support, but can not assign an VLAN to the guest wifi config.
Well, that isn't too unlike Netgear and Tp-Link and D-link etc. By default they also all comes with the same admin userid and password. I was not aware that it was hardcoded in Telefonica equipment, but nothing surprises me about Telefonica any more. I think everyone is just amazed that you keep using them.
Oh, they learn. The fibre routers I have seen all had a custom password written in the label or sticker all routers have. Same as commercial (home grade) we can buy. Still, the user is 1234 and can not be changed.
As to why we use them, I feel in the family, million of us do use them.
Yep. Millions of flies can't be wrong.
I was hoping you didn't remember that saying :-p -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
