RT28 as a Side Router: Whole-Home Split Routing Without Touching the Main Router

2026年10月6日

The beauty of a side router: your main router’s config stays untouched.

Two wiring modes

Gateway mode: RT28 on a LAN port with a same-subnet static IP; devices that need split routing point their gateway at it (manually or via DHCP);
One-armed: one port does both directions — simpler, but throughput halves; gigabit households should use gateway mode.

Measured

Gateway mode sustains 940 Mbps NAT; AdGuard + split rules idle at 15% CPU. Kids’ devices go through RT28’s filtering while adults connect directly — per-device flexibility is the whole point.
