VLAN is too complicated or difficult to set up with your existing equipment, consider segregating IoT devices and such from your work systems by setting up your Wi-Fi router's guest network and have them connect to that instead of your main Wi-Fi.
This is another way of limiting what devices on your network can do, but it is specific to bandwidth usage. QoS (pronounced computer engineering definition) means Quality of Service. If you are working from home and your office PC or Mac needs the lion's share of the network bandwidth, such as for a traffic-heavy application like Zoom, you don't want your kids or some other piece of equipment eating up that bandwidth when you most need it. So you can set just how much bandwidth where and when and what apps get what depending on the device, and depending on what the router offers. In some home broadband routers, this is also called Traffic Prioritization.
