Advice Please: Simple Guest LAN Using ER-X

$

Many hours of reading leaves me more confused..!

We're in a rural area, no fibre for ages, using VF VDSL, but it's OK - Ping 37, Down 44, Up15. Have a separate small rental studio that shares the VDSL connection that needs to be isolated with a Guest LAN.

The studio is connected using a TP-Link AV500 Powerline Add on Extender that works fine.

Currently just using the VF Ultra hub, basic TP-Link 8 port switch that connects to the in-house Powerline adapter plus a workstation, AppleTV and a TP-Link Omada EAP 225 that I'm just fiddling with prior to replacing the VF Ultra Hub.

As a preparatory move for the Guest LAN I've managed to set up an ER-X (many thanks to michaelmurfy tutorial!) bridged to a Vigor V130 and it tests OK insofar as can get a working internet connection.

Question: Do I have to get a 'managed' switch to set up a VLAN properly or is there a simpler way?

Directions/pointers gratefully received.
