I get that. I know what you can do with VLANs.

But why do you need it in your home? Do you really cut off your printer in a VLAN and do some specific routing/filtering? I know how to do that, but I just don't see the benefit.

If you want to cut off one device from the internet, my solution would be to set a specific DHCP rule to not deliver a gateway/dns. Easy and good enough to cut off a printer from the internet. My home does not need the same network security as a nuclear power plant...
