I am currently looking to relegate my VR900 router (acting as AP to provide wireless access) and have fully fledged wireless in the house with multiple SSID.

I have a TP LINK SG105E smart switch and I need a proper AP.

So my question is - Ubiquiti's Unifi AC Pro - I assume I can hook that up with the SG105E with no issues and where do i setup the VLAN? at the switch or the AP? I can't seem to find any manual from Ubiquiti.

my setup is

WAN - pfsense - switch - NAS & AP - wireless clients with at least 2 VLAN setup.
 
how do you manage the SSID in your router and switch? did you use VLAN?

I need to bundle NAS (hardwired) & TV (hardwired) to the main SSID as one subnet
 
I don't know how it works on separate SSID.

But my ultimate goal is to have different SSID on different subnet i.e. 192.168.1.xxx and 192.1.68.2.xxx and 192.168.3.xxx for the 3 SSID.

and I understand to do this with one AP is to use VLAN tags which pfsense can pickup. this requires smart switch or switches support VLAN. Now this is the bit I am falling over, i.e. VLAN is tagged at AP level and then what does the switch do? the DHCP server is on the pfsense

I also need to tag my LAN traffic to the first SSID under the same subnet

I have 4 SSID's on my Unifi UAP-AC-LR
Private - untagged
Guest - tagged 202
Neighbours - tagged 303
Kids - tagged 404

All are tagged by the unifi ap as they enter the network and are then transported back to my main router where they are untagged. Private is 10.10.10.0/24, Guest is 10.10.11.0/24, Neighbours are 192.168.0.0/24 and kids are 10.10.12.0/24.

All networks have their own speed limiting applied from the router **not from the wireless ap.

your setup is pretty much what i need. I take it you have a VLAN enabled switch and the router takes care of the VLAN routing.
