Hello friends, 

 

I share a home with others and have a modem+router provided by internet provider. I would like to give a seperate network to my roommates, can it be done using RE705X ? 

 

My internet search led me to an option of adding a router and create seperate SSID, but I have to keep this router close to the modem provided by ISP. So I am looking for some wireless solution where an extender can also create its own seperate network.

Goal is, my roommates and myself should have an isolated local network, where they can see my devices when they connect to wifi and reduce the possibility of middleman attacks.

With a range extender you can't set an isolated network where they can see your devices when they connect to the RE's Wi-Fi.

You can create a diffent SSID network with the RE705X but this would still be your local network, not isolated from your ISP device - details.
