Mesh system which allows multiple bandwidth limited guest networks?

My mum is lodging out two rooms in her house and I want to make sure there's no hassle over the internet.

We're ditching Virgin and getting CityFibre 1gig (Vodafone). My plan currently is to:
  • Replace the stock Vodafone router with my spare Draytek Vigor 2860AC.
  • Create multiple VLANs and use QOS to limit the bandwith on each.
  • Install an ethernet socket in each room and provide a basic AC router each from ASUS or whatever.
I'm starting to think it might be less hassle if I just install a mesh system, but I'm struggling to find something which will do the trick.

Anyone have any ideas?
 
Does the Draytek 2860 have enough performance for 1Gbps generally, and does City Fibre use PPPoE as that would add even more load?

I know the 2860 has hardware acceleration depending on options but it's specs shows firewall performance as 300Mbps and needing to turn off QoS, bandwidth limit etc to get hardware acceleration.

Yeah looks like the actual ticket would be a 2865, I hadn't considered WAN throughput. Thanks
