Wi‑Fi segmentation in plain English (staff, guest, IoT)
A simple segmentation model that improves security without making the office network painful to use.
Wi‑Fi segmentation in plain English
Segmentation isn’t about fancy diagrams—it’s about reducing blast radius.
The simple model
- Staff Wi‑Fi: laptops/phones you manage
- Guest Wi‑Fi: internet-only, no internal access
- IoT Wi‑Fi: TVs, cameras, printers—locked down
Minimum rules
- Guest: allow DNS/HTTP(S) only, rate-limit if needed
- IoT: only allow to required destinations (e.g., NVR, print server)
- Staff: access to internal apps + VPN as needed
Operational tips
- Document SSIDs and passwords/PSKs rotation policy
- Prefer WPA2/WPA3, disable old protocols
- Monitor “top talkers” for anomalies
