wherein the stand-alone in-home security device receives the home network internet datagrams from the modem via a communications interface; wherein the received home network internet datagrams are not formatted as IPv4 and IPv6 traffic; analyzing the received home network internet datagrams using an artificial intelligence service to identify a type of security threat included in the received home network internet datagrams, wherein the artificial intelligence service is configured to process the received home network internet datagrams only at Layer 2 of an OSI Model to separate the datagrams into attribute fields; selecting a security application from among a plurality of security applications included in an in-home network security application suite based on the type of security threat identified in the received home network internet datagrams by the artificial intelligence service to provide a selected security application, wherein the plurality of security applications included in the in-home network security application suite comprises a firewall function, an anti-virus function, a URL filtering function, and a ransom ware function; using the selected security application to identify threat data packets included in the received home network internet datagrams that are associated with the type of security threat identified in the received home network internet datagrams, wherein the firewall function is configured to block all internet datagrams associated with an IP address transmitting the threat data packets; wherein the firewall function is configured to process the received home network internet datagrams at Layer 2 of the OSI Model; blocking the threat data packets from being forwarded downstream to an in-home network router coupled to the stand-alone in-home security device located in the in home network between the modem and the in-home network router, wherein the stand-alone in-home security device forwards the data packets that are not included in the threat data packets to the in-home router via the communications interface; wherein the in-home network router is configured to process internet protocol information at Layer 3 of the OSI model. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 wherein the artificial intelligence service is configured to process all of the received home network internet datagrams at Layer 2 of the OSI Model to separate the datagrams into the attribute fields.
