Cable Forum - View Single Post - VM Business Installing a firewall behind the Hitron box

I have SH5 in router mode and a second router behind that with no issues. I can connect to the SH5 or to the router. I guess I don't do things that fail with 2 routers/firewalls. I may also think about putting the IOT type devices on the hub network again isolating from internal network.

What I may do is turn off the guest on the router so it's only on the SH5 so guests will be unable to get to my private stuff inside the router.
