Usually, these WiFi routers have integrated private network functionality:

ASUS, Netgear, Linksys, DDWRT, Tomato, Tplink and many more. Just search google with your router model.

Step 2: Register a private network account

Step 4: Configure the router

The actions you should perform are depending on your prototype. So you can check the router guidebook for details.

For example, the ASUS router, you need to configure the private network server in Advanced Settings. Then select the type of Broadcast Support and Force MPPE Encryption, enter the range of IP address for the private network clients, and input your username and password for private network clients.
