To answer your question. VLANs. Really helps with QoS when you have a lot of background traffic going on. With unmanaged switches, all traffic gets broadcasted to all ports, and that leads to latency issues.
Not too difficult, but also not too intuitive. I'm sure you can find guides to break it down for you. It's kinda fun once you get the hang of it.

For UnixAdmin: There are many excellent sources to help understand what a managed switch can offer over unmanaged and the actual feature set and how they are implemented can be found in the manufacturer documentation. VLANs are one of potential advantages of a managed switch, but there are many others (aside from the obvious benefit of being able to connect/login to the switch to manage and monitor it and all ports on it). You CAN use a managed switch in the same manner as an unmanaged switch so there's little downside in owning one, all else being equal.
