# Setting up a Flint 3e router at my home was a game changer to be able to cut…

Setting up a Flint 3e router at my home was a game changer to be able to cut ads on my network :

I can browse the web with a much better experience on all kinds of sites, Adguard is doing its job perfectly! 

I have also sink holed Smart TV's calling home to China and will have overall a much more secure network since devices that don't need to talk to other devices are now on their own VLAN, same for Guests connecting to my home Wi-Fi, they'll be on their VLAN. 

I still have to move a few devices to the new Wifi network behind the Flint 3e and then I'm done!
