how to setup 2 different networks on one NAS

[joedow]

Hello,
How can I setup 2 small networks sharing one NAS (Qnap 439 pro II+) and one Internet access?
What additional hardware do I need?

I already got
- the NAS with 2 Gigabit RJ45 sockets (will arrive on Saturday),
- an AVM-Fritzbox 7270 as DSL-Router/4-port switch/Internet-Gateway
- several PCs an Laptops within a workgroup of the Fritzbox

I am planning to get at least another switch
- HP 1410-8G unmanaged or 1810-8G managed

I don't know if I can set another network address within the switch or if I need an additional router or something else.

Thanks in advance
Joe

Since you're going to buy a managed / smart switch, easiest way is using VLANs. See VLAN How To: Segmenting a small LAN

Thank you Tim,

I will order a managed switch with vlan function and check it out.

Best
