OpenWRT gateway with TP-Link brand access points (self.selfhosted)

Hello, I have a grievance and need a proper solution. It seems that TP-Link's Deco mesh WiFi APs don't tag the three SSIDs to vlans (and they see no operational issue with this), and I would like to make the most use out of the "iot" network they provide to separate smart devices from my own. I could do by IP and assign static routes to such devices, but I was hoping something would be possible in router mode, though im unfamiliar with how such a structure works.

Edit: may not matter to include I have a couple M5 units and an x60

Any other suggestions (including other brand mesh WiFi units, most especially supporting openwrt) are appreciated

You can built a mesh network out of off the shelf routers.
