Hi
We need a device for the following task.
- We share an Internet connection for three households.
- Household A has the provider's box at home and connects its devices there.
- We have laid a cable to households B and C, to which we would now like to connect the device we are looking for for households B and C.
- Households B and C should not "see" each other and they should not "see" household A either.

What kind of device do we need for this task? A managed switch or a router?

Hello Patrick
You need a router so that you can create a network (VLAN) for each house.
You can then separate the VLans as you wish or also release certain devices for the others, e.g. weather station etc.
ps. I would be careful with sharing an internet connection as the liability is always attributed to the owner.
