The router I lease doesn’t seem to support guest networks and I am wondering if this is a decent workaround?

    No, you need them to either be on different VLANs or physical LANs. They way you described is neither of these.

      Unfortunately I don’t think this is an option unless I buy my own router. If I’m using different passwords for each band wouldn’t that protect traffic from the non-iot network?

        No, the traffic from your IOT devices would still be on the same LAN as traffic from your other devices, which is a horrible idea. Perhaps you should re-evaluate owning IOT devices until you can afford your own router.
