Keep in mind that with this model, printers have to be on the same network as machines that print to them. You may also want to configure a guest virtual network so you can give visitors to your home access that way, and possibly a virtual network exclusively for machines that connect to financial accounts. Be sure the router is configured so that devices on one virtual network cannot make connections to devices on another virtual network. Configure one specifically for your IoT devices (Rokus, Smart TVs, laptops used for streaming etc.) so those devices are segregated from your other machines. Your WiFi router should support separate virtual networks. Whether the streaming applications are in the TV or on a separate device does not by itself change the security stance. Nothing specific, just generally a big IOT entry into my home/network. What cybersecurity threat are you trying to prevent? I get all the streaming I need from the Roku stick plugged into the TV.
