19:47 * Emmy gets a headache just from seeing the example
19:47
< Emmy>
nooope
19:49
<@Kindamoody>
Why??? o_o
19:51
<@Kindamoody>
Not that Emmy got a headache, I mean, why are they doing that? Some people have too much time on their hands, apparently.
19:51
<&ToxicFrog>
That actually looks like fun.
19:51
<&ToxicFrog>
All the px have been claimed, though :(
20:34
<@gnolam>
Ah, they hadn't been back when I posted that.
20:43
<@macdjord>
ToxicFrog: There are a number of pixels that have wildly out-of-place colours which make me suspect the person who did they made an error. Maybe you can volunteer to double-check them?
21:12
< abudhabi>
Hmm.
21:15
< abudhabi>
Suppose you have router A that connects to internets, and router B that's connected to router A via ethernet. Router A is on 192, router B is on 10. Router A has connected PCs via ethernet. Router B has connected PCs via wifi.
21:15
< abudhabi>
Any obvious problems with such a scheme?
21:17
< abudhabi>
It's been decades since I've done my partial CISCO certification. I figure both networks will be able to see each other unless I take measures to prevent it, yes?
21:18
< Mahal>
My question is _why_ are you doing this
21:18
< Mahal>
you'll need to set up routing between them to make it work
21:18
< Mahal>
(by default the networks will *not* be able to see each other)
21:18
< abudhabi>
Good, even better.
21:19
< Mahal>
You'll need to set some basic routing up in order for router B's computers to get Internet
21:19
< Mahal>
(don't ask me how, I haven't done this in about eight years because I decided networking was Not for Me and got out of it)
21:19
< Mahal>
(so I have the understanding of _what_ needs to happen and then go wave at my network team and go "hello folks pls halp" when I need a thing at work)
21:20
< abudhabi>
I've done something like this before, with two routers, but on the same net. The auxiliary router was able to obtain network access without further setup, but I guess that may be due to same network and DHCP.
21:22
< abudhabi>
Regarding why, I want to add a bit more security. The wifi is intended for guests, mainly, and sometimes boomer-tier family members.
21:28
< abudhabi>
Currently the wired and wifi networks are under the same router that connects to the fiber optic. Wifi has a passphrase, and the admin page for the router also has a password, and it isn't "admin", but I feel this is still too lax.
21:33
< abudhabi>
Wow. Thanks to this bit of 🦆, I just realized that the ISP are retards.
21:34
< abudhabi>
Props to them for not setting the default password for the router as 'admin', but indicating on the login page itself that the password is the first 8 characters for the WIFI PASSPHRASE is still not good.
21:37
< abudhabi>
This secures... the wired network as an attack angle, as you don't need a wifi key for that. Anyone connected to the wifi will still have the router admin password.

Right, so, here's the bits you're missing.
21:41
< Mahal>
On a domestic home network, _it does not matter_ what the username & password are. People do not _care_. They need to plug in the magic box and have internet. The end.
21:41
< Mahal>
Any security aspects are consumer _unfriendly_
21:42
< Mahal>
If you know enough to care, you are already doing better than 99% of domestic customers, you know, all the ones who _don't_ work in IT
21:42
< Mahal>
at that point, caring about network isolation, changing admin passwords, etc is totally reasonable
21:42
< Mahal>
go for it!
21:42
< Mahal>
... but also, what's really going to happen on a domestic home network 99.9999999% of the time?
21:43
< Mahal>
people gonna use the internet. It aint' a threat vector of concern.
21:43
< abudhabi>
Yes, I see that. I'm connected, right now, through a network that has router admin secured with admin:admin.
21:43
< abudhabi>
(Vacation home.)
21:43
< Mahal>
So going on a crusade about "domestic internet is insecure!!" is ... just not a thing.
21:43
< Mahal>
(note: from the _inside_. )
21:44
< Mahal>
Yes, of course it's a concern that so many domestic routers have management ports exposed to the public internet secured on admin:admin and are promptly part of every botnet in the world, but frankly that's the ISP's issue, not the consumer's issue to deal with
21:45
< abudhabi>
Which is why I want to provide simple wifi internet access from the secondary router. Internet, yes. Being able to even see the main router's logi page, preferrably no.
22:22
<&[R]>
AD: Clients in the B-net will be able to connect to clients in the A-net, but not the inverse, assuming you do basic NAT
22:22
<&[R]>
I currently have my network setup like that for reasons that need to be deconstructed now
22:37
< Mahal>
HIding the logon page from the secondary network is .. probably not possible, tbh
22:37
< Mahal>
unless you also have some *solid* firewalling in there
22:37
< Mahal>
oh, and at this point you're not using a consumer router, you'll be needing at least a SOHO/commercial one
