Why would regular VLAN support not work to secure or segregate IoT devices?
2 comments

It would but most consumer devices don't support VLANs and if they did no consumer would know how to configure them.

If you do need low cost VLAN-capable gear I've had success with TP-Link switches and Mikrotik WiFi APs.

Yeah, what dborham wrote: most people wouldn't know a VLAN if it bit them on the nose, but if your your router automatically created the SSID "foo-devices" to go alongside your regular "foo" people might use it.

Like the "offer a guest network" button which, now I think of it, might already be enough.
