Vlan splicing for network protection

A system comprising:

• a networking device including:
• one or more processors;
• a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• in response to receiving a first request from a first device to access a network, generating a first service set identifier “SSID” and a first key for a first virtual network,
• responding to the first request with the first SSID and the first key,
• in response to receiving a second request from a second device to access the network, generating a second SSID and a second key for a second virtual network, and
• responding to the second request with the second SSID and the second key;
• and
• a user application provided on a portable computing device, the user application being configured to display additional devices requesting to connect to the LAN network, and authorize the creation of new SSIDs for new virtual networks for said detected IoT devices.

A processor implemented method comprising:

• in response to receiving a first request from a first device to access a network, generating a first service set identifier “SSID” and a first key for a first virtual network;
• responding to the first request with the first SSID and the first key;
• in response to receiving a second request from a second device to access the network, generating a second SSID and a second key for a second virtual network;
• and
• responding to the second request with the second SSID and the second key.
