Hi, I am new to the forum and first time owner of Netgate SG1100. Really new to setting up online security and recommend setting for securing home network. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@Spooke You can start by reading "Networking Concepts" here: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/network/index.html and familiarize yourself with the SG1100 manual here: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/

That's lesson number 1...you're the sole administrator for your network and a separate guest network is best for friends and extended families. You must stand firm on this...

@NollipfSense Thank you that is what I am configuring now at the moment I don’t even have a guest network.

@Spooke You can set up a separate wired network on the OPT interface. The setup is at https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/opt-lan.html but as noted it should be already assigned but you need to enable and configure it for DHCP etc.
Or, some wireless systems have a "guest" mode/SSID that isolates those devices. Eero for instance can do that even in "bridge" mode behind a pfSense.

@Spooke Thank you for the information. I have erro and I will set them up that way.
