2 Networks, 1 ISP Connection

Status
Not open for further replies.
I am currently setting up a new home network.
I need to have two separate networks, I.e router1 & router2.

router1 will be the main home network with wifi for tv etc. It needs to have different name and password to router2.

router2 is my home office network which will connect to router1, router1 will have the main isp connection attached.

my question is I need them to not be able to see each other’s clients or traffic for security reasons.

Is this possible ? If so would router2 connect to the wlan port of router1.

my understanding is that both routers would share an IP address is there a way to assign different IPs. Or this might not be necessary I’m just making sure if someone gets into the network on router1 they can’t access router2.

thanks in advance
