That can mean almost anything.

VLANs are "suggestions", not security, unless there is physical separation at
some point.

Better to segment the network using a different router port for each subnet and
separate "dumb" switches for each, as needed.

This is actually how I do it, but with pfsense for the router. A normal linux
distro can do it, just tie the firewall rules to the specific interface. Don't
know about typical $20 home routers.
