For many people, they can’t afford or effectively manage a corporate router that has support for VLANs.
I, myself have been looking all over and the consensus is: spend 800€-1200€ on a ubiquiti system and have vendor lock in or have a cross-vendor system (e.g. microtik router + Asus access points) where the house wifi mesh is middling at best because the devices themselves will have to manage roaming which is always a shitshow even with the newer phones.
Cool beans, yippie for you. Mine can’t and that is true for many if not most people. How does that have anything to do with finding a vlan capable router? please point me to a consumer router under 250€ that can do it?
Fair point, I didn’t think of that. Any IoT device gets put in the “naughty” vlan and 99% of their outgoing requests goes straight to /Dev/null
I do the same thing. All they’re allowed to talk to is Home Assistant except for when I allow internet access to update firmware.

My ISP router can do vlan mate.

Why are you so bitter? Chill out.
Ubiquiti ERX $59.
Consumer grade Netgear routers support VLANs.
