    Maybe a dumb question… But what’s the point of the guest network? Separation of concerns? Isolating data? Why not just run Pihole on everything in one network?

    I have my Roku on my main wifi network and it’s the top blocked device. I haven’t considered moving it to a guest network. I try to keep it unplugged but maybe I’ll just get rid of it now.

      PiHole can break some funtionality for your main computers. This is especially sensitive if you work from home. You can opt for PiHole on your PC via manual IP setting but many IoT devices only use DHCP.

      We had a few Roku left, but now we are going to finish our.transition to Nvidia Shields.
