I have stuff in groups but ready to put IoT in their proper place.  I have created the VLANs.  Now how do I move my devices to the VLAN?

  For wired devices, you will need to change the VLAN for the port to which they are connected.

  For wireless devices, you'll need to configure a new SSID on your APs that is tied to your IoT VLAN, then change the SSID for your IoT devices.

  Ohhh.  I thought it was a software switch, kinda thing.  My eero Pro 6E only has 1 SSID and a guest network with no options.  So... I'll consider VLAN options on my next hardware purchase.

  First, you have to configure it in your access point. I use Unifi access points, so I use their software. I don't know what you use or whether it supports VLANs.

  Once you have the SSID configured, you also need to make a new VLAN network in Firewalla with the same VLAN ID.

  Ultimately, how you do this depends greatly on the type of access points you use.
