Considering switch due to availability in Canada

I'm a longtime Firewalla user, learning about networking as I go along.  I currently have the Purple with Eero access points. I've recently become aware of the dangers of a flat network and would love to rectify this, especially with AI bot swarms coming online.

However, the AP7 isn't really available in Canada, and the Switch SE is already sold out.

Should I just switch to a Ubiquity UDR7? I really don't want to but it could be here tomorrow from Amazon for probably 1/3 the price, tariff-free. The price of not being the 51st state I guess.

  AP7 should be available soon in Canada, hopefully in the next two weeks (from this message); you can build something like this https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/44535055874707-Remodeling-Your-Big-Old-Flat-Network-with-Firewalla the switch SE may need to wait a bit, it is back ordered until late November or early December 

  If you can't wait, you will need to partition via VLAN, it should work perfectly with any standard switch or AP supporting VLAN
