hello, i am looking to setup a Virtual Interface to isolate wifi devices from the rest of the workwork.

is this correct and simplest way to do it?

also in the wifi settings,

SSID Broadcast - Enable
Web UI Access - Disable
Multicast to Unicast - Disable
Network Configuration Bridged / Unbridged ?
AP Isolation ?? what is this exactly?

can i just use these settings or do i need to do more like the video?

thanks

In DDWRT speak that is called a Virtual Access Point (VAP)

This is how I do it:
