Official Support TeamHave you tried a 'Double NAT' isolation process? This would entail plugging a second router into your main network. You'd keep your current physical wiring exactly as it is.
1. Your garage's NH20A (10G port) ---> single cat cable up to your aptartment ---> Netgear managed switch.
2. Netgear Switch Port 2 ---> TELUS Wi-Fi 7 Router (this runs your main home network)
3. Netgear Switch Port 3 ---> Internet/WAN port of your personal router (your TP-Link or D-Link)
Then you'd log into your personal router's settings (the one you're using for work). Change its local IP subnet so it doesn't conflict with the TELUS one. i.e. if TELUS uses 192.168.1.X , then you'd change your personal router's LAN IP setup to 192.168.10.1
Then name the Wi-Fi on this router something distinct like 'Secure Work'. Then connect only your work laptop that network.
Sorry I responded to the first response. This is exactly how I have it but vlan setup on port 3 and 4 but should I bridge the NH20 port 10g ?? Will the regular network booster work fine ?? I tried it this way but the wifi 7 booster worked for about a day then but the big one could connect to it but would not access internet tech replaced with new one and for whatever reason the tech moved my 10g port cable to port 3 and did not mention anything now my company is investigating potential customer information being comprised they are very strict about this type of thing and the reason it needs isolation
