Recomendation for Iot devices

I've got some concerns about my Iot devices being on the same network as my NAS/Computers. Whats the best way in the XR500 to fix this. Should I just put them onto the guest wifi network or is there an easy way to isolate them without having to re-set the devices up again. I currently have all my devices statically assigned to 192.168.0.

    The guest network is a viable easy solution, to truly separate them then you could look into VLAN but make sure you have researched it as if you don't get it right they won't get internet.
