Hey everyone,

I ended up buying and installing the TP-Link Omada I was referring to in previous posts. I didn't even know how to word it at the time, but I was looking for a dual LAN setup and the Omada allowed me to do just that. It plugs directly in to the  modem. From there, one ethernet line serves the house while the other is dedicated to my wife's work computer. Each network has a unique IP range assigned to it so the two are completely independent from each other. It's perfect- I couldn't be happier with it.

god luck -jim
