Please forgive my ignorance and lack of in-depth understanding of VLAN tagging etc...

 

We are on Vodafone FibreX, but running a Ubiquiti USG, switch and AP. 

 

I'd like to put all of the kids devices on a separate VLAN  (for a number of reasons, one of them being that I'd like to run their traffic through OpenDNS, without having to set it up on each device). If I set up a separate 'network' in the via the Unifi controller for this purpose, and tag it as, say, VLAN 55, would this cause issues with their internet traffic? I say this since I recall all WAN traffic is VLAN 10.

 

Forgive me if I am imprecise with my terminology, as I said, I am still getting up to speed with this stuff...

 

Thanks in advance!

No it wouldn't - obviously you would need to create a new IP range for VLAN55 on the USG and then ensure your switch is configured to support VLAN55 as well as the AP.

I do something similar on FibreX, and everything works fine.
