ADVICE PLEASE,,, ER5120 and TL-SG2424 or T1600G-28TS

OK, I have screwed myself sideways here. I first ordered an ER6120 and (2) TL-SG1024, due to having 2 ISP and 1 of those giving me 2 Static IPv4 addresses I decided with the help of support to return those and grab a ER5120 allowing for up to 4 WAN links etc.. Now for some reason I was under the impression I could create VLANs to help my network communicate more efficient and effectively. So I purchased a TL-SG2424 v 3.0 aka T1600G-28TS v 1.0. Now that I've got everything sorted with the router, NAT, ONE to ONE for the statics and DMZ etc... I am reading that I may not be able to do what I was wanting. I have 1 available LAN port on the ER5120 currently it is 192.168.99.1 as DHCP I have the DMZ DHCP as 192.168.98.1. I would like to, and thought was possible until tonight, create separate VLANs for my security cameras based on the port selection of the managed switch. I have 4 now active plan for 8 and a NVR, for now they are recording to the same box that houses my serviio and sabnzbd. So I would like to see say a VLAN with 192.168.97.1-9. Also I would like to create a VLAN for my Wireless access points. I have 4. 3 Inside the home and 1 Outside. So maybe 192.168.96.1-4. Also, In order to use my 2 static IPs for the Cable modem provider I have a 5 port gigabit switch between the cable modem and the WAN ports of the ER5120. I would like to create a VLAN as well that would allow me to do this switching on the T1600G-28TS.
Is this even possible with this router and switch? or should I get a different switch? I don't know anything about VLANs other than the basic principal that a) its a way to segment a physical network virtually b) it can offer slightly more security than all traffic on one subnet. c) potentially it can reduce network traffic by reducing unneeded broadcasts. I just don't see how it will communicate and ID with the router.
Obviously I've got a lot to learn but please if you have any advice offer it up. I'm fairly sharp. I work for a telecom provider as well as work with Calix CMS daily. I'm not stupid just ignorant to the VLAN setup and details.
Me love you long time!
