   AA> I want my wired pcs connected/accessible to each other, but ofcourse I do     
   AA> not want the network to be exposed to wireless devices.  Hence the WTF     
   AA> when I just happened to connect a recent new laptop (the Thinkpad 540p     
   AA> that I mentioned in another echo a couple months ago) to finish some Win7     
   AA> updates.   
      
   Here at home, I use the principal of least-privilege... my "Nick" account does   
   not have administrator privilege. File shares on the Lan are locked down to    
   only what I need to access. That means no root or system directory exposure.   
      
   We're talking about a home network with a busy server system, several   
   virtual machines, the BBS / Fido hub, a couple entertainment PC's and one in    
   the kitchen, a couple laptops, printers, Apple phones, tablets and Amazon    
   Echo devices.   
      
   What you were describing implies that there is no authentication between the   
   systems on your LAN if you were able to see everything in the scenario you   
   originally stated. If these are Windows computers, I am curious how that is   
   possible unless you have specifically enabled "Everyone" permissions or have   
   credentials cached.   
      
   If you absolutely 100% do not want the wireless devices to see anything on    
   your LAN then they should be isolated into the Guest network or on a    
   seperate router altogether.   
      
   I'd dump that ISP-issued router if possible, and get a commercial-grade router   
   if there is budget for one.
