VLAN configuration

We have a situation where we want to seperate the wireless network from the physical network, however both will hit the same router for the internet.
(See below for simplistic overview to what I believe we need to do)

I know I need to tag the port that the wireless switch uplinks to the HP1820 switch and I'll need to tag the uplink port to the router for VLAN 10 and 50
however, I am not sure what I should do for the other ports on the switch. Should I leave them untagged including the uplink to the generic switch not capable of VLANing?
I also assume that I'll need to put some sort of restriction on the router to prevent routing between the VLAN's

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. 99% of the ports on the HP switch will be used for PC's and in use as such based on your comments I should either tag them with VLAN10 if in use otherwise shut them down. My main concern is what to do with the uplink to the switch which I've labelled generic switch which I don't believe is capable of VLANs (it was installed by another subcontractor and we're trying to get login details so I can confirm this). I want to ensure no traffic from VLAN50 is capable of accessing resources on VLAN10.
Should I tag the uplink to the generic switch as VLAN10 or untag in case the switch doesn't recognise VLAN packet headers???

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
