Network Segmentation: The Home Edition

I'm an IT expert with 20 years in the trenches, but my biggest current project is figuring out the optimal firewall policy for three humans born since 2015. This blog is where my corporate-level expertise meets the Montessori method—and the chaos of a busy work schedule.

The Mission: Cutting the Noise.

I am documenting the practical, battle-tested solutions for managing kids' tech access while preserving their attention span and curiosity. Think of it as an operations manual for the modern digital parent, covering:

• Access Control Deep Dives: Setting strict Quality of Service policies and time-based access for tablets, laptops, and the inevitable Nintendo console. We are treating the home as a secured, segmented network.
• Real-World Application: It's about establishing clear configuration management so that the technology works for us, supporting the children's growth, instead of adding friction to an already overbooked life.

I promise concise, actionable advice. I don't have time for fluff; I have a full-time job and three little endpoints whose firmware constantly needs updating.

What's the specific device you're struggling to control? I can't write the blog if I don't solve the immediate problems first.
