In need of Wireless AP suggestions
These definitely support VLANs, as well as many other features. They do require an application for management installed on your network, although this application does not have to be left running unless using a captive portal on a guest network. That being said though, there is a GIT hub project that allows you to actually host the controller ON your pfSense firewall. You can find it HERE.

Unifi Express - Ad Blocking
I just purchased the unifi express and I have been researching its capabilities and more specifically ad blocking functionality. I have found that people are complaining about the ad blocking abilities not being very granular and referring to unifios-utilities and running something like pi hole or adguard as an alternative. Can I safely assume that these options will be available to the unifi express?
