Looking to re-establish my home wireless set-up after having done a factory reset on my Modem. This Set-up evolved using Several L.A.N.s (No that's no physical Ethernet connections) as to partition different smart elements of my home from one and other for security reasons. The capacity to form multiple Networks seems to have been removed or hidden as there is not clear way to create NEW ADDITIONAL NETWORKS through the app or the Router.
Has there been a software change to limit the modem's functionality in this way?

    Did you disable the band steering?

    Read this, point 3

    However, separating the 2 wifi do not mean insulating them

    Fizz modem do not support VLAN :( And if you need a vlan you need to add a router with this capability

    You can always configure manual IP with a subnet mask, however, this is a very light way to segment your network ( and I will not consider a security measure since you will not really enforce it). Therefore, the broadcast it will stay in the subnet.

    Hi there,

    In case anyone asks the same question the answer is NO!! see this alternative at the end of my post

    1- no access to this configuration through the web interface

    2-no master/root account to login to in order to show advanced setting

    3- I am not aware of a terminal(command line) access to setup Vlan or other advanced features.

    You can always confirm with Fizz support, Fizz Modem-router is for residential use no expert/advanced setting

    Workaround:

    Buy a router fully unlocked, configure as you please, put it in bridged/routed mode and connect with an eithernet cable to Fizz Modem-router.

    Have a good day ^_^
