    in general, if you want to separate networks vlans would be required so a managed switch, and if one wants security, get a firewall something like pfsense

      Why do i need managed switch for in this setup? I mean ERX can create and manage VLANS, unifi can add tags to its wifi networks so why additional device is needed here?
