Hello Kees,

On Wednesday August 10 2016 13:58, you wrote to me:

If my router has a similar way of delegating other subnets to downlink routers, I am not likely to find any information about it any time soon. It is a beta firmware of an ISP custom firmware. There won'' t be any public information flying around...

I could think of the following being useful in a household:

1) The general purpose LAN.

2) Guest network

3) IOT.

4) Smart car #1

5) Smart car #2

That's all I can think of right now. I am sure more will pop up.



Cheers, Michiel
