I think people should learn how to configure their network in the first place.

- Don't get a cloud router (ever!)

- learn about vlans and use them.

- never hook a critical device like a NAS to the wider internet

What good is VLAN if an attacker breaks into your router? (non-rhetorical question) He could forge any packets and networks after that. I also have doubts in my separate wire setup (data LAN + management LAN) because any device with both cables attached can potentially be made into a bridge.
